In fact , our starting point was schools , which were very substantially differentiated and segregated , because many of the chinese were in chinese schools , many of the malay children were in malay schools , and the english schools catered to a minority of the population 其实开始的时候，我们的学校在相当大的程度上是互相分化和隔离的，因为很多华人报读华校，马来族学童在马来学校受教育，英校则是为人口中的少数而开设的。
It was probable that , in the lapse of ages , improved systems of moral and intellectual training would appreciably , perhaps considerably , elevate the involuntary and even the unconscious instincts of human nature ; but up to the present day culture , as far as he could see , might be said to have affected only the mental epiderm of those lives which had been brought under its influence 经过许多个世纪以后，道德和知识训练的体系大概也有了改进，就会在一定程度上，也许在相当大的程度上提高人类天性中不自觉的甚至是无意识的本能。但是就他看来，直到今天，也许可以说文化对于那些被置于它的影响之下的人，才在他们的表皮上产生了一点儿影响。
