The claim put forward by public schools concerning the 'classical education' they provide seems to be more an awkward evasion than anything else; it is used whenever there is any question raised as to the competency of the public schools to impart culture and to educate. THE CLAIM PUT FORWARD BY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONCERNING THE CLASSICAL EDUCATION THEY PROVIDE SEEMS TO BE MORE AN AWKWARD EVASION THAN ANYTHING ELSE IT IS USED WHENEVER THERE IS A QUESTION RAISED AS TO THE COMPETENCY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO IMPART CULTURE AND TO EDUCATE
their most holy duty, so long as they treat the mother-tongue as if it were only a necessary evil or a dead body, I shall not regard these institutions as belonging to real culture. "In regard to the language, what is surely least noticeable is any trace of the influence of _classical examples_: that is why, on the strength of this consideration alone, the so-called 'classical education' which is supposed to be provided by our public school, strikes me as something exceedingly doubtful and confused. For how could anybody, after having cast one glance at those examples, fail to see the great earnestness with which the Greek and the Roman regarded and treated his language, from his youth onwards--how is it possible to mistake one's example on a point like this one?--provided, of course, that the classical Hellenic and Roman world really did hover before the educational plan of our public schools as the highest and most instructive of all morals--a fact I feel very much inclined to doubt.
