Context

“The people are at such a low stage of rational and moral development, that it's obvious they're bound to oppose everything that's strange to them. In Europe, a rational system answers because the people are educated; it follows that we must educate the people—that's all.»
«But how are we to educate the people?»
«To educate the people three things are needed: schools, and schools, and schools.
«But you said yourself the people are at such a low stage of material development: what help are schools for that?»
«Do you know, you remind me of the story of the advice given to the sick man—You should try purgative medicine.” source
