Education and health were always matters of charity. You educated children and you helped the sick because they were good things to do, not because you were going to make money out of them. If you let the money-making principle, the profit-seeking motive, anywhere near education and health, things go bad.

Theatre is one of those things that children will love if they're helped to get there to see it. No child will find his or her own way to the theatre.

It should be a firmly established part of the curriculum that children should visit theatres and concert halls.
