"You are right, my friend," said the philosopher, "but whence comes the urgent necessity for a surplus of schools for culture, which further gives rise to the necessity for a surplus of teachers? YOU ARE RIGHT MY FRIEND SAID THE PHILOSOPHER BUT WHENCE COMES THE URGENT NECESSITY FOR A SURPLUS OF SCHOOLS FOR CULTURE WHICH FURTHER GIVES RISE TO THE NECESSITY FOR A SURPLUS OF TEACHERS
We are education! We are at the zenith! We are the apexes of the pyramids! We are the aims of universal history!'--when they hear the seductive promises, when the shameful signs of non-culture, the plebeian publicity of the so-called 'interests of culture' are extolled for their benefit in magazines and newspapers as an entirely new and the best possible, full-grown form of culture! Whither shall the poor fellows fly when they feel the presentiment that these promises are not true--where but to the most obtuse, sterile scientificality, that here the shriek of culture may no longer be audible to them? Pursued in this way, must they not end, like the ostrich, by burying their heads in the sand? Is it not a real happiness for them, buried as they are among dialects, etymologies, and conjectures, to lead a life like that of the ants, even though they are miles removed from true culture, if only they can close their ears tightly and be deaf to the voice of the 'elegant' culture of the time. OF THE PRESS WE ARE CULTURE WE ARE EDUCATION WE ARE THE ZENITH WE ARE THE APEX OF THE PYRAMIDS WE ARE THE AIMS OF THE UNIVERSAL HISTORY WHEN THEY HEAR THE SEDUCTIVE PROMISES WHEN THE SHAMEFUL SIGNS OF NON CULTURE THE PLEBEIAN PUBLICITY OF THE SO CALLED INTERESTS OF CULTURE ARE EXTOLLED FOR THEIR BENEFIT IN MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS AS AN ENTIRELY NEW AND THE BEST POSSIBLE FULL GROWN FORM OF CULTURE WHITHER SHALL THE POOR FELLOWS FLY WHEN THEY FEEL THE PRESENTIMENT THAT THESE PROMISES ARE NOT TRUE WHERE BUT TO THE MOST OBTUSE STERILE SCIENTIFICALITY THAT HERE THE SHRIEK OF CULTURE MAY NO LONGER BE AUDIBLE TO THEM PURSUED IN THIS WAY MUST THEY NOT END LIKE THE OSTRICH BY BURYING THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND IS IT NOT A REAL HAPPINESS FOR THEM BURIED AS THEY ARE AMONG DIALECTS ETYMOLOGIES AND CONJECTURES TO LEAD A LIFE LIKE THAT OF THE ANTS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MILES REMOVVED FROM TRUE CULTURE IF ONLY THEY CAN CLOSE THEIR EARS TIGHTLY AND BE DEAF TO THE VOICES OF THE ELEGANT CULTURE OF THE TIME
