It is just possible that between now and then all _Gymnasia_  yea, and perhaps all universities, may be destroyed, or have become so utterly transformed that their very regulations may, in the eyes of future generations, seem to be but the relics of the cave dwellers' age. IT IS JUST POSSIBLE THAT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN ALL GYMNASIA YEA AND PERHAPS ALL UNIVERSITIES MAY BE DESTROYED OR HAVE BECOME SO UTTERLY TRANSFORMED THAT THEIR VERY REGULATIONS MAY IN THE EYES OF FUTURE GENERATIONS SEEM TO BE BUT THE RELICS OF CAVE DWELLERS AGE
t propose to furnish formulæ or new plans of study for _Gymnasia_ or other schools; and I am much more inclined to admire the extraordinary power of those who are able to cover the whole distance between the depths of empiricism and the heights of special culture-problems, and who again descend to the level of the driest rules and the most neatly expressed formulæ. I shall be content if only I can ascend a tolerably lofty mountain, from the summit of which, after having recovered my breath, I may obtain a general survey of the ground; for I shall never be able, in this book, to satisfy the votaries of tabulated rules. Indeed, I see a time coming when serious men, working together in the service of a completely rejuvenated and purified culture, may again become the directors of a system of everyday instruction, calculated to promote that culture; and they will probably be compelled once more to draw up sets of rules: but how remote this time now seems! And what may not happen meanwhile! F NEW FORMULAE I DO NOT PROPOSE TO FURNISH FORMULAE OR NEW PLANS OF STUDY FOR GYMNASIA OR OTHER SCHOOLS AND I AM MUCH MORE INCLINED TO ADMIRE THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF THOSE WHO ARE ABLE TO COVER THE WHOLE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE DEPTHS OF EMPIRICISM AND THE HEIGHTS OF SPECIAL CULTURE PROBLEMS AND WHO AGAIN DESCEND TO THE LEVEL OF THE DRIEST RULES IN THE MOST NEATLY EXPRESSED FORMULAE I SHALL BE CONTENT IF ONLY I CAN ASCEND A TOLERABLY LOFTY MOUNTAIN FROM THE SUMMIT OF WHICH AFTER HAVING RECOVERED MY BREATH I MAY OBTAIN A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE GROUND FOR I SHALL NEVER BE ABLE IN THIS BOOK TO SATISFY THE VOTARIES OF TABULATED RULES INDEED I SEE A TIME COMING WHEN SERIOUS MEN WORKING TOGETHER IN THE SERVICE OF A COMPLETELY REJUVENATED AND PURIFIED CULTURE MAY AGAIN BECOME THE DIRECTORS OF A SYSTEM OF EVERY DAY INSTRUCTION CALCULATED TO PROMOTE THAT CULTURE AND THEY WILL PROBABLY BE COMPELLED ONCE MORE TO DRAW UP SETS OF RULES HOW REMOTE THIS TIME NOW SEEMS AND WHAT MAY NOT HAPPEN MEANWHILE
