If education really educates, there will, in time, be more and more citizens who understand that relics of the old West add meaning and value to the new.

Populism and elitism are the same thing. They are class prejudices, crude class prejudices that so-and-so, because they are uneducated, is less worthy, or so-and-so, because they are richer or more educated, is unworthy. ↗
