Gifts Outright

Now, the nuisance of all this notion of Business Education, of a training for certain trades, whether of plumber or plutocrat, is that they will prevent the intelligence being sufficiently active to criticize trade and business properly. They begin by stuffing the child, not with the sense of justice by which he can judge the world, but with the sense of inevitable doom or dedication by which he must accept that particular very worldly aspect of the world.

G.K. Chesterton in All is Grist (via gkchestertonquote)

This may be one of the stronger arguments out there for the essential value of a truly liberal education.
