And in those very places where a pretence to culture is still kept up, we find the people more hopeless, atrophied, and discontented than in the secondary schools, where the so called 'realistic' subjects are taught! AND IN THOSE VERY PLACES WHERE ITS PRETENSE TO CULTURE IS STILL KEPT UP WE FIND THE PEOPLE MORE HOPELESS ATROPHIED AND DISCONTENTED THAT IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS WHERE THE SO CALLED REALISTIC SUBJECTS ARE TAUGHT
g the melancholy reflection: if it be true that secondary and public schools are, on the whole, working so heartily in common towards the same ends, and differ from each other only in such a slight degree, that they may take equal rank before the tribunal of the State, then we completely lack another kind of educational institutions: those for the development of culture! To say the least, the secondary schools cannot be reproached with this; for they have up to the present propitiously and honourably followed up tendencies of a lower order, but one nevertheless highly necessary. In the public schools, however, there is very much less honesty and very much less ability too; for in them we find an instinctive feeling of shame, the unconscious perception of the fact that the whole institution has been ignominiously degraded, and that the sonorous words of wise and apathetic teachers are contradictory to the dreary, barbaric, and sterile reality. So there are no true cultural institutions! HOWEVER REFRAIN FROM ADDING THE MELANCHOLY REFLECTION IF IT BE TRUE THAT SECONDARY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE ON THE WHOLE WORKING SO HEARTILY IN COMMON TOWARDS THE SAME END AND DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER IN ONLY SUCH A SLIGHT DEGREE THAT THEY MAY TAKE EQUAL RANK BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL OF THE STATE THAN WE COMPLETELY LACK ANOTHER KIND OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THOSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURE TO SAY THE LEAST THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS CANNOT BE REPROACHED WITH THIS FOR THEY HAVE UP TO THE PRESENT PROPITIOUSLY AND HONOURABLY FOLLOWED UP TENDENCIES OF A LOWER ORDER BUT FROM ONE NEVERTHELESS HIGHLY NECESSARY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOWEVER THERE IS MUCH LESS HONESTY AND VERY MUCH LESS ABILITY TOO FOR IN THEM WE FIND AN INSTINCTIVE FEELING OF SHAME THE UNCONSCIOUS PERCEPTION OF THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE INSTITUTION HAS BEEN IGNOMINIOUSLY DEGRADED AND THAT THE SONOROUS WORDS OF WISE AND APATHETIC TEACHERS ARE CONTRADICTORY TO THE DREARY BARBARIC AND STERILE REALITY SO THERE ARE NO TRUE CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS
