These lack real initiative; there are too few practical men among them  that is to say, too few who happen to have good and new ideas, and who know that real genius and the real practical mind must necessarily come together in the same individuals, whilst the sober practical men have no ideas and therefore fall short in practice.

t have lost my patience with you. You are altogether right, save in your despair. I shall now proceed to say a few words of comfort to you. How long do you suppose the state of education in the schools of our time, which seems to weigh so heavily upon you, will last? I shall not conceal my views on this point from you: its time is over; its days are counted. The first who will dare to be quite straightforward in this respect will hear his honesty re-echoed back to him by thousands of courageous souls. For, at bottom, there is a tacit understanding between the more nobly gifted and more warmly disposed men of the present day. Every one of them knows what he has had to suffer from the condition of culture in schools; every one of them would fain protect his offspring from the need of enduring similar drawbacks, even though he himself was compelled to submit to them. If these feelings are never quite honestly expressed, however, it is owing to a sad want of spirit among modern pedagogues. OU NOW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE LOST MY PATIENCE WITH YOU YOU ARE ALTOGETHER RIGHT SAVE IN YOUR DESPAIR I SHALL NOW PROCEED TO SAY A FEW WORDS OF COMFORT TO YOU HOW LONG DO YOU SUPPOSE THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS OF OUR TIME WHICH SEEMS TO WEIGH SO HEAVILY UPON YOU WILL LAST I SHALL NOT CONCEAL MY VIEWS ON THIS POINT FROM YOU ITS TIME IS OVER ITS DAYS ARE COUNTED THE FIRST WHO WILL DARE TO BE QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD IN THIS RESPECT WILL HEAR HIS HONESTY RE ECHOED BACK TO HIM BY THOUSANDS OF COURAGEOUS SOULS FOR AT BOTTOM THERE IS A TACIT UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE MORE NOBLY GIFTED AND MORE WARMLY DISPOSED MEN OF THE PRESENT DAY EVERY ONE OF THEM KNOWS WHAT HE HAS HAD TO SUFFER FROM THE CONDITION OF CULTURE IN SCHOOLS EVERY ONE OF THEM WOULD FAIN PROTECT HIS OFFSPRING FROM THE NEED OF ENDURING SIMILAR DRAWBACKS EVEN THOUGH HE HIMSELF WAS COMPELLED TO SUBMIT TO THEM IF THESE FEELINGS ARE NEVER QUITE HONESTLY EXPRESSED HOWEVER IT IS OWING TO A SAD WANT OF SPIRIT AMONG MODERN PEDAGOGUES
