Probably you have not realized that Lord Darlington was really King Edward VIII. The one who abdicated over the Mrs Simpsom affair, he was a Nazi sympathiser.
Yes I agree that education is needed for everybody.
However one has to remember the mindset of the period of the butlers childhood. At that time getting real jobs depended mainly on which private school on attended. Who ones family was, which regiment one served in etc,etc. In short the class network. The old school tie.
The working class who beat the system were the exception certainly not the rule. The idea was it was folly to educate them to a standard which they would never be able to use. To use an example from Tolstoys War and Peace.
The idealistic here Pierre tried to educate his serfs. He was rebuked by the realist Prince Andre, because the Russian system would never allow the serfs to use their education. Thus it would only lead to frustration for them. In England in the first half of the last century the situation was not as bad but similarities were still there. Since then the objectives of education have changed. Education is a new ball game, alas not in every country.
