After a few minutes' silent reflection, the philosopher's companion turned to him and said: "You used to hold out hopes to me, but now you have done more: you have widened my intelligence, and with it my strength and courage: now indeed can I look on the field of battle with more hardihood, now indeed do I repent of my too hasty flight. AFTER A FEW MINUTES SILENT REFLECTION THE PHILOSOPHER'S COMPANION TURNED TO HIM AND SAID YOU USED TO HOLD OUT HOPES FOR ME BUT NOW YOU HAVE DONE MORE YOU HAVE WIDENED BY INTELLIGENCE AND WITH IT MY STRENGTH AND COURAGE NOW INDEED CAN I LOOK ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE WITH MORE HARDIHOOD NOW INDEED DO I REPENT OF MY TOO HASTY FLIGHT
forces which have come down to us from classical antiquity are not yet known in our public schools: forces which would train students for the struggle against the barbarism of the present age, and which will perhaps once more transform the public schools into the arsenals and workshops of this struggle. On the other hand, it would seem in the meantime as if the spirit of antiquity, in its fundamental principles, had already been driven away from the portals of the public schools, and as if here also the gates were thrown open as widely as possible to the be-flattered and pampered type of our present self-styled "German culture." And if the solitary talkers caught a glimpse of a single ray of hope, it was that things would have to become still worse, that what was as yet divined only by the few would soon be clearly perceived by the many, and that then the time for honest and resolute men for the earnest consideration of the scope of the education of the masses would not be far distant.
