The Psychological Solution-7

Those who pass this first test will receive ten more years of education and training, in body and mind and character. 

And then they will face a second test, far severer than the first. 

Those who fail will become the auxiliaries, or executive aides and military officers of the state. 

Now it is just in these great eliminations that we shall need every resource of persuasion to get the eliminated to accept their fate with urbanity and peace. 

urbanity，儒雅的，谦和的

For what is to prevent that great unselected majority, in the first test, and that lesser but more vigorous and capable second group of Eliminees, from shouldering arms and smashing this Utopia of ours into a mouldering reminiscence? 

What is to prevent them from establishing there and then a world in which again mere number or mere force will rule, and the sickly comedy of a sham democracy will reënact itself da capo ad nauseam? 

Then religion and faith will be our only salvation: we shall tell these young people that the divisions into which they have fallen are God-decreed and irrevocable—not all their tears shall wipe out one word of it. 

irrevocable，不可撤销的

We shall tell them the myth of the metals:
