Only the educated are free.
Every age has conditions of life that determine how people work and spend their leisure time.
Such activities change slowly, as those life conditions change, and sometimes the change is so slow as to be almost imperceptible. Today, for example, there are thousands of clubs and lodges that are disappearing because people no longer spend their free time there. Lodges, being private organizations, must respond to these changes, eventually closing when membership declines. Public institutions, on the other hand, are not forced to change quite as directly. In fact, public agencies often continue unchanged even as society changes.
