Education
“We have met with families in which for weeks together, not an article of sustenance but potatoes had been used; yet for every child the hard-earned sum was provided to send them to school.”
E. G. West, Education and the State

and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
