All I ask, is, like a Roman haruspex, to be allowed to steal glimpses of the future out of the very entrails of existing conditions, which, in this case, means no more than to hand the laurels of victory to any one of the many forces tending to make itself felt in our present educational system, despite the fact that the force in question may be neither a favourite, an esteemed, nor a very extensive one. ALL I ASK IS LIKE A ROMAN HERU SPECS TO BE ALLOWED TO STEAL GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE OUT OF VERY ENTRAILS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS WHICH IN THIS CASE MEANS NO MORE THAN TO HAND THE LAURELS OF VICTORY TO ANY ONE OF THE MANY FORCES TENDING TO MAKE ITSELF FELT IN OUR PRESENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE FORCE IN QUESTION MAY BE NEITHER A FAVORITE AN ESTEEMED NOR A VERY EXTENSIVE ONE
ce, and a refining of the spirit of Germany that, as a result of this very process, our educational institutions may also be indirectly remoulded and born again, so as to appear at once old and new, whereas now they only profess to be "modern" or "up-to-date." Now it is only in the spirit of the hope above mentioned that I wish to speak of the future of our educational institutions: and this is the second point in regard to which I must tender an apology from the outset. The "prophet" pose is such a presumptuous one that it seems almost ridiculous to deny that I have the intention of adopting it. No one should attempt to describe the future of our education, and the means and methods of instruction relating thereto, in a prophetic spirit, unless he can prove that the picture he draws already exists in germ to-day, and that all that is required is the extension and development of this embryo if the necessary modifications are to be produced in schools and other educational institutions. ON A REVIVISANCE AND A REFINING OF THE SPIRIT OF GERMANY THAT AS A RESULT OF THIS VERY PROCESS OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS MAY ALSO BE INDIRECTLY REMOULDED AND REBORN AGAIN SO AS TO APPEAR AT ONCE OLD AND NEW WHEREAS NOW THEY ONLY PROFESS TO BE MODERN OR UP TO DATE NOW IT IS ONLY IN THE SPIRIT OF THE HOPE ABOVE MENTIONED THAT I WISH TO SPEAK OF THE FUTURE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THIS IS THE SECOND POINT IN REGARD TO WHICH I MUST TENDER AN APOLOGY FROM THE OUTSET THE PROPHET POSE IS SUCH A PRESUMPTUOUS ONE THAT IT ALMOST SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO DENY THAT I HAVE THE INTENTION OF ADOPTING IT NO ONE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE THE FUTURE OF OUR EDUCATION AND THE MEANS AND METHODS OF INSTRUCTION RELATING THERE TOO IN A PROPHETIC SPIRIT UNLESS HE CAN PROVIDE THAT THE PICTURE HE DRAWS ALREADY EXISTS IN GERM TO DAY AND THAT ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS THE EXTENSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS EMBRYO IF THE NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS ARE TO BE PRODUCED IN SCHOOLS AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
