Non-PRO English to Serbian Social Sciences History secondary education

To this extent the middle class was still a class of masters, or rather of mistresses over some labouring girl. They certainly gave their sons, and even increasingly their daughters, a secondary education. Insofar as this qualified men for reserve-officer status (or 'temporary gentlemen' officers in the British mass armies of 1914) it also stamped them as potential masters over other men. Yet a large and growing number of them were no longer 'independent' in the formal sense, but were themselves receivers of wages from employers, even if these were euphemistically called by some other name. Side by side with the old bourgeoisie of entrepreneurs or independant professionals, and those recognizing only the orders of God or the state, there now grew up the new middle class of salaried managers, executives and technical experts in the capitalism of state corporations and high technology: the public and private bureaucracy whose rise Max Weber monitored.
