Flatland: a romance of many dimensions

Edwin Abbott Abbott

Capitolo 19

you/he/she has arrived, when the condition of slavery is ended, and the citizen
digita the class of Regulars.

Accordingly, Nature she provides us with an ascending staircase
or Alphabet of angles for half a degree above to 60 degrees, Champion
of what you/he/she has put in every Elementary School in all the earth. 
Owing to occasional regressions to even more frequent ethic,
and intellectual stagnation, and to the extraordinary fertility
of the Criminal and Vagabond classes, it is always an enormous superfluity
of individuals of the half degree and the alone class of degree and a fair
the abundance of Champions above to 10 degrees.  These completely I am
needy of civil rights;  and a great number of them, not having
also the intelligence enough for the purposes of war, you/he/she is devoted
from States to the service of education.  Put immovably in fetterses
then as they has put for removing every possibility of danger,
in the classes of our Childish Schools, and there they is used
from the Board of Education for the purpose to impart to the descendant
of the Middle classes the touch and the intelligence that this wretch
their creatures are suddenly deprived.

In of States the Champions are fed every now and then and they suffered
to exist for many years;  but in the most moderate and better
regulated regions, are found in the long run more advantageous
for the instructive affairs of the young one, to distribute with food,
and to renew the Champions every month--what on the average is
the life-span of foodless of the Criminal class.
In the most convenient schools, what is earned by the longest existence
some Champion is lost, partly in the expense for food,
and partly in the accuracy decreased of the angles that
it is damaged after some weeks of the "continuous feeling."
Neither we have to forget to add in to enumerate the advantages,
of the most expensive system that he/she minds, although slightly
he/she perceptibly anchors, to the diminution of the Isosceles and redundant population--
an object that every man of state in Flatland it continually holds in sight.
