"Instead of that purely practical method of instruction by which the teacher accustoms his pupils to severe self discipline in their own language, we find everywhere the rudiments of a historico scholastic method of teaching the mother tongue: that is to say, people deal with it as if it were a dead language and as if the present and future were under no obligations to it whatsoever. The historical method has become so universal in our time, that even the living body of the language is sacrificed for the sake of anatomical study. INSTEAD OF THAT PURELY PRACTICAL METHOD OF INSTRUCTION BY WHICH THE TEACHER ACCUSTOMS HIS PUPILS TO SEVERE SELF DISCIPLINE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE WE FIND EVERYWHERE THE RUDIMENTS OF A HISTORICAL SCHOLASTIC METHOD OF TEACHING THE MOTHER TONGUE THAT IS TO SAY PEOPLE DEAL WITH IT AS IF IT WERE A DEAD LANGUAGE AS IF THE PRESENT AND FUTURE WERE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO IT WHATSOEVER THE HISTORICAL METHOD HAS BECOME SO UNIVERSAL IN OUR TIME THAT EVEN THE LIVING BODY OF THE LANGUAGE IS SACRIFICED FOR THE SAKE OF AN ANATOMICAL STUDY

"Here then is a task for so-called 'formal' education[4] [the education tending to develop the mental faculties, as opposed to 'material' education,[5] which is intended to deal only with the acquisition of facts, _e.g._ history, mathematics, etc.], and one of the utmost value: but what do we find in the public school--that is to say, in the head-quarters of formal education? He who understands how to apply what he has heard here will also know what to think of the modern public school as a so-called educational institution. He will discover, for instance, that the public school, according to its fundamental principles, does not educate for the purposes of culture, but for the purposes of scholarship; and, further, that of late it seems to have adopted a course which indicates rather that it has even discarded scholarship in favour of journalism as the object of its exertions. This can be clearly seen from the way in which German is taught.
