First sentence: COMPETITION is now so keen, that any ordinary Englishman who aspires to a competence by the time he is fifty has to spend the first twenty-five years of his life in preparing for and passing examinations, and the next twenty-five in one continuous grind of work, broken by the occasional brightness of a holiday-at home a trip abroad or to the sea-side; in India a month in the hills or a run to England.
