fore a mistake publicly to reveal the ridiculous disproportion between the number of really cultured people and the enormous magnitude of the educational apparatus. Here lies the whole secret of culture--namely, that an innumerable host of men struggle to achieve it and work hard to that end, ostensibly in their own interests, whereas at bottom it is only in order that it may be possible for the few to attain to it." "That is the principle," said the philosopher,--"and yet you could so far forget yourself as to believe that you are one of the few? This thought has occurred to you--I can see. That, however, is the result of the worthless character of modern education. The rights of genius are being democratised in order that people may be relieved of the labour of acquiring culture, and their need of it. Every one wants if possible to recline in the shade of the tree planted by genius, and to escape the dreadful necessity of working for him, so that his procreation may be made possible. HEMSELVES TO EDUCATION IT WERE THEREFORE A MISTAKE PUBLICLY TO REVEAL THE RIDICULOUS DISPROPORTION BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF REALLY CULTURED PEOPLE AND THE ENORMOUS MAGNITUDE OF THE EDUCATIONAL APPARATUS HERE LIES THE WHOLE SECRET OF CULTURE NAMELY THAT AN INNUMERABLE HOST OF MEN STRUGGLE TO ACHIEVE IT AND WORK HARD TO THAT END OSTENSIBLY THEIR OWN INTEREST WHEREAS AT BOTTOM IS ONLY IN ORDER THAT IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE FEW TO ATTAIN IT THAT IS THE PRINCIPLE SAID THE PHILOSOPHER AND YET YOU COULD SO FAR FORGET YOURSELF AS TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW THIS THOUGHT HAS OCCURRED TO YOU I CAN SEE THAT HOWEVER IS THE RESULT OF THE WORTHLESS CHARACTER OF MODERN EDUCATION THE RIGHTS OF GENIUS ARE BEING DEMOCRATIZED IN ORDER THAT PEOPLE MAY BE RELIEVED OF THE LABOUR OF ACQUIRING CULTURE AND THE NEED OF IT EVERY ONE WANTS IF POSSIBLE TO RECLINE IN THE SHADE OF THE TREE PLANTED BY GENIUS AND TO ESCAPE THE DREADFUL NECESSITY OF WORKING FOR HIM SO THAT HIS PROCREATION MAY BE MADE POSSIBLE
