Imagine how useless the most energetic work on the part of the individual teacher must be, who would fain lead a pupil back into the distant and evasive Hellenic world and to the real home of culture, when in less than an hour, that same pupil will have recourse to a newspaper, the latest novel, or one of those learned books, the very style of which already bears the revolting impress of modern barbaric culture    " "Now, silence a minute!" interjected the philosopher in a strong and sympathetic voice. IMAGINE HOW USELESS THE MOST ENERGETIC WORK ON THE PART OF THE INDIVIDUAL TEACHER MUST BE WHO WOULD FAIN LEAD A PUPIL BACK INTO THE DISTANT AND EVASIVE HELLENIC WORLD AND TO THE REAL HOME OF CULTURE WHEN IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THAT SAME PUPIL WILL HAVE A RECOURSE TO A NEWSPAPER THE LATEST NOVEL OR ONE OF THOSE LEARNED BOOKS THE VERY STYLE OF WHICH ALREADY BEARS THE REVOLTING IMPRESS OF MODERN BARBARIC CULTURE NOW SILENCE A MINUTE INTERJECTED THE PHILOSOPHER IN A STRONG AND SYMPATHETIC VOICE
one. The expansion and the diminution of education here join hands. The newspaper actually steps into the place of culture, and he who, even as a scholar, wishes to voice any claim for education, must avail himself of this viscous stratum of communication which cements the seams between all forms of life, all classes, all arts, and all sciences, and which is as firm and reliable as news paper is, as a rule. In the newspaper the peculiar educational aims of the present culminate, just as the journalist, the servant of the moment, has stepped into the place of the genius, of the leader for all time, of the deliverer from the tyranny of the moment. Now, tell me, distinguished master, what hopes could I still have in a struggle against the general topsy-turvification of all genuine aims for education; with what courage can I, a single teacher, step forward, when I know that the moment any seeds of real culture are sown, they will be mercilessly crushed by the roller of this pseudo-culture?  THE TWO TENDENCIES COMBINE AND BECOME ONE THE EXPANSION AND THE DIMINUTION OF EDUCATION HERE JOIN HANDS THE NEWSPAPER ACTUALLY STEPS INTO THE PLACE OF CULTURE AND HE WHO EVEN AS A SCHOLAR WISHES TO VOICE ANY CLAIM FOR EDUCATION MUST AVAIL HIMSELF OF THIS VICIOUS STRATUM OF COMMUNICATION WHICH CEMENTS THE SEAMS BETWEEN ALL FORMS OF LIFE ALL CLASSES ALL ARTS AND ALL SCIENCES AND WHICH IS AS FIRM AND RELIABLE AS NEWSPAPER IS IN THE NEWSPAPER THE PECULIAR EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE PRESENT CULMINATE JUST AS THE JOURNALIST THE SERVANT OF THE MOMENT HAS STEPPED INTO THE PLACE OF THE GENIUS OF THE LEADER FOR ALL TIME OF THE DELIVERER FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE MOMENT NOW TELL ME DISTINGUISHED MASTER WHAT HOPES COULD I STILL HAVE IN A STRUGGLE AGAINST THE GENERAL TOPSY TERRIFICATION OF ALL GENUINE AIMS FOR EDUCATION WITH WHAT COURAGE CAN I A SINGLE TEACHER STEP FORWARD WHEN I KNOW THAT THE MOMENT ANY SEEDS OF REAL CULTURE ARE SOWN THEY WILL BE MERCILESSLY CRUSHED BY THE RULER OF THIS PSEUDO CULTURE
