About this Quote

This quote by James Payn talks to the large variety of academic opportunities available to young people in Great Britain. Payn is recommending that regardless of the abundance of instructional resources available, lots of youths are not making the most of them. He indicates that the academic chances are being squandered, as the mental stamina of many young people is not being established to its complete potential. Payn is likely suggesting that youths need to take advantage of the academic resources offered to them, as they can help to develop their psychological capability and provide them with the abilities and knowledge required to prosper in life. He is likewise likely recommending that teachers ought to strive to guarantee that youths are taking full advantage of the educational resources available to them, so that they can reach their full capacity.
