"We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks."
— Woodrow Wilson

I've been unable to find a rationalization for this quote. Have any of you seen it before? What was the context?

I was apparently originally published in an out-if-print book titled "Consumer Advocates in the Classroom" by Jean Patton.

If a CT gave me this I would say I would need to see the context otherwise it means nothing and they should think that too. If they don't care or don't have the context then I would suggest that they don't really care about being accurate.

Yeah I think that's all we can go on for now.
