And how often are not all a man's subsequent literary performances but a sad result of this pedagogic original sin against the intellect! "Let us only think of what takes place at such an age in the production of such work. AND HOW OFTEN ARE NOT ALL A MAN'S SUBSEQUENT LI LITERARY PERFORMANCES BUT A SAD RESULT OF HIS PEDAGOGIC ORIGINAL SIN AGAINST THE INTELLECT LET US ONLY THINK OF WHAT TAKES PLACE AT SUCH AN AGE IN THE PRODUCTION OF SUCH WORK
 almost always the most gifted pupils who display the greatest eagerness, it ought to have been made clear how dangerously stimulating, precisely here, the task of the teacher must be. _German composition_ makes an appeal to the individual, and the more strongly a pupil is conscious of his various qualities, the more personally will he do his _German composition_. This 'personal doing' is urged on with yet an additional fillip in some public schools by the choice of the subject, the strongest proof of which is, in my opinion, that even in the lower classes the non-pedagogic subject is set, by means of which the pupil is led to give a description of his life and of his development. Now, one has only to read the titles of the compositions set in a large number of public schools to be convinced that probably the large majority of pupils have to suffer their whole lives, through no fault of their own, owing to this premature demand for personal work--for the unripe procreation of thoughts.
