"Not a suspicion of this possible relationship between our classics and classical education seems to have pierced the antique walls of public schools. NOT A SUSPICION OF THIS POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR CLASSICS AND CLASSICAL EDUCATION SEEMS TO HAVE PIERCED THE ANTIQUE WALLS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
 so-called classical education can have but one natural starting-point--an artistic, earnest, and exact familiarity with the use of the mother-tongue: this, together with the secret of form, however, one can seldom attain to of one's own accord, almost everybody requires those great leaders and tutors and must place himself in their hands. There is, however, no such thing as a classical education that could grow without this inferred love of form. Here, where the power of discerning form and barbarity gradually awakens, there appear the pinions which bear one to the only real home of culture--ancient Greece. If with the solitary help of those pinions we sought to reach those far-distant and diamond-studded walls encircling the stronghold of Hellenism, we should certainly not get very far; once more, therefore, we need the same leaders and tutors, our German classical writers, that we may be borne up, too, by the wing-strokes of their past endeavours--to the land of yearning, to Greece. D LEADING TO ANTIQUITY BE FOUND EVERY SO CALLED CLASSICAL EDUCATION CAN HAVE BUT ONE NATURAL STARTING POINT AN ARTISTIC EARNEST AND EXACT FAMILIARITY WITH THE USE OF THE MOTHER TONGUE THIS TOGETHER WITH THE SECRET FORM HOWEVER ONE CAN SELDOM ATTAIN TO ONE'S OWN ACCORD ALMOST EVERYBODY REQUIRES THESE GRAND LEADERS AND TUTORS MUST PLACE HIMSELF IN THEIR HANDS THERE IS HOWEVER NO SUCH THING AS A CLASSICAL EDUCATION THAT COULD GROW WITHOUT THIS INFERRED LOVE OF FORM HERE WHERE THE POWER OF DISCERNING FORM AND BARBARITY GRADUALLY AWAKENS THERE APPEARS THE PINIONS WHICH BEAR ONE TO THE ONLY REAL HOME OF CULTURE ANCIENT GREECE IF WITH THE SOLITARY HELP OF THOSE PINIONS WE SOUGHT TO REACH THOSE FAR DISTANT AND DIAMOND STUDDED WALLS ENCIRCLING THE STRONGHOLD OF HELENISM WE SHOULD CERTAINLY NOT GET VERY FAR ONCE MORE THEREFORE WE NEED THE SAME LEADERS AND TUTORS OUR GERMAN CLASSICAL WRITERS THAT WE MAY BE BORNE UP TOO BY THE WING STROKES OF THEIR PAST ENDEAVOURS TO THE LAND OF YEARNING TO GREECE
