Elsewhere the State, in its turn, strives here and there for its own preservation, after the greatest possible expansion of education, because it always feels strong enough to bring the most determined emancipation, resulting from culture, under its yoke, and readily approves of everything which tends to extend culture, provided that it be of service to its officials or soldiers, but in the main to itself, in its competition with other nations. ELSEWHERE THE STATE IN ITS TURN STRIVES HERE AND THERE FOR ITS OWN PRESERVATION AFTER THE GREATEST POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF EDUCATION BECAUSE IT ALWAYS FEELS STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING THE MOST DETERMINED EMANCIPATION RESULTING FROM CULTURE UNDER ITS YOKE AND READILY APPROVES OF EVERYTHING WHICH TENDS TO EXTEND CULTURE PROVIDED THAT IT BE A SERVICE TO ITS OFFICIALS OR SOLDIERS BUT IN THE MAIN TO ITSELF IN ITS COMPETITION WITH OTHER NATIONS
