Abstract
In older countries than this-in lands less favoured by Provi- dence than New Brunswick-throughout Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, where the wealth of the few, combined with hereditary respect for the possessors of that wealth, influenced and subdued the many, Education was long confined to the upper and middle classes, and little or no effort was made to enable the lower orders to obtain a share of the benefits it confers, and in fact the idea that they could be educated, or that education could be of any advantage to them, was seldom entertained, rarely expressed, and generally considered as visionary and Utopian.It was supposed that with them " ignorance was bliss ;" it was asserted that a little knowledge was a dangerous thing not so much to themselves perhaps as to their betters, and that as all they could be taught would amount to little, it was best for all parties that they should learn nothing.And thus it was that while Universities and Colleges flourished, and literature, the sciences and the arts were duly cultivated, the minds of the poor were suffered to lie fallow, or worse still, to receive the baneful seeds of every vice, which without culture grew luxuriantly and rankly-like weeds-in proportion to the neglect they received.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
