In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
"If you don't work you die."


Written, Prophetically, in 1919

And instead of studying literature, there was a recent article here that there is a proposal to explicitly completely drop that, and instead use government edicts and laws to study English. Wonderful, eh? It would really up the level of government propagandization in our schools, as if it wasn’t bad enough already.

Here, found it:
