While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

While there is a lower class I am in it; while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free

Elm Street was the dividing line between the two worlds. On either side of this line there were families who had trouble making both ends meet, but those who lived below the intersection didn't bother to conceal it.

I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.

While there is a lower class, I am in it.
While there is a criminal element, I am of it.
While there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

In the lower classes the school master does not work for the parent, but against the parent. Modern education meanshanding down the customs of the minority, and rooting out the customs of the majority.
