And as for the preparation in science, which is one of the consequences of this teaching, our Germanists will have to determine, in all justice, how little these learned beginnings in public schools have contributed to the splendour of their sciences, and how much the personality of individual university professors has done so. AND AS FOR THE PREPARATION IN SCIENCE WHICH IS ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS TEACHING OUR GERMANISTS WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE IN ALL JUSTICE HOW LITTLE THESE LEARNED BEGINNINGS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPLENDOR OF THEIR SCIENCES AND HOW MUCH THE PERSONALITY OF INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS HAS DONE SO
sical education' and the so-called 'formal education,' at one stroke, as the scientific man and the cultured man belong to two different spheres which, though coming together at times in the same individual, are never reconciled. "If we compare all three of these would-be aims of the public school with the actual facts to be observed in the present method of teaching German, we see immediately what they really amount to in practice,--that is to say, only to subterfuges for use in the fight and struggle for existence and, often enough, mere means wherewith to bewilder an opponent. For we are unable to detect any single feature in this teaching of German which in any way recalls the example of classical antiquity and its glorious methods of training in languages. 'Formal education,' however, which is supposed to be achieved by this method of teaching German, has been shown to be wholly at the pleasure of the 'free personality,' which is as good as saying that it is barbarism and anarchy. THEREBY SACRIFICES CLASSICAL EDUCATION AND THE SO CALLED FORMAL EDUCATION AT ONE STROKE AS THE SCIENTIFIC MAN AND THE CULTURED MAN BELONG TO TWO DIFFERENT SPHERES WHICH THOUGH COMING TOGETHER AT TIMES IN THE SAME INDIVIDUAL ARE NEVER RECONCILED IF WE COMPARE ALL THREE OF THESE WOULD BE AIMS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL WITH THE ACTUAL FACTS TO BE OBSERVED IN THE PRESENT METHOD OF TEACHING GERMAN WE SEE IMMEDIATELY WHAT THEY REALLY AMOUNT TO IN PRACTICE THAT IS TO SAY ONLY TO SUTTER FUGS FOR THE USE IN THE FIGHT AND STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE AND OFTEN ENOUGH MERE MEANS WHEREIN TO BEWILDER AN OPPONENT FOR WE ARE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY SINGLE FEATURE IN THIS TEACHING OF GERMAN WHICH IN ANY WAY RECALLS THE EXAMPLE OF CLASSIC ANTIQUITY AND ITS GLORIOUS METHODS OF TRAINING IN LANGUAGES FORMAL EDUCATION HOWEVER WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACHIEVED BY THIS METHOD OF TEACHING GERMAN HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE WHOLLY AT THE PLEASURE OF THE FREE PERSONALITY WHICH IS AS GOOD AS SAYING THAT IT IS BARBARIANISM AND ANARCHY
