Quote by Hannah More
My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.
Summary
This quote highlights a straightforward and narrow approach to education. The speaker's plan focuses on teaching practical skills to prepare individuals for servant roles and discourages writing for those in poverty. Their goal is not to instill strong religious beliefs but rather to cultivate a diligent work ethic and piety among the lower classes. The emphasis seems to be on shaping individuals for specific roles rather than fostering broader intellectual development.
