Its maintenance required that the
different sections be isolated from each other so that there could
be no growth toward a common understanding and cooeperation, and its
permanence depended upon keeping the people ignorant and contented with

beneficent institution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
into an incubus weighing upon all the activities of the people in
the nineteenth, an unyielding bar to the development of the country,
a hideous anachronism in these modern times.
