And the reason why it was impossible to make public schools fall in with the magnificent plan of classical culture lay in the un German, almost foreign or cosmopolitan nature of these efforts in the cause of education: in the belief that it was possible to remove the native soil from under a man's feet and that he should still remain standing; in the illusion that people can spring direct, without bridges, into the strange Hellenic world, by abjuring German and the German mind in general. AND THE REASON WHY IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FALL IN WITH THE MAGNIFICENT PLAN OF CLASSICAL CULTURE LAY IN THE UNGERMAN ALMOST FOREIGN OR COSMOPOLITAN NATURE OF THESE EFFORTS IN THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION IN THE BELIEF THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE NATIVE SOIL FROM UNDER A MAN'S FEET AND THAT HE SHOULD STILL REMAIN STANDING IN THE ILLUSION THAT PEOPLE CAN SPRING DIRECT WITHOUT BRIDGES INTO THE STRANGE HELLENIC WORLD BY ABJURING GERMAN AND THE GERMAN MIND IN GENERAL
ew order of public schools was established, which thenceforward was not to be merely a nursery for science, but, above all, the actual consecrated home of all higher and nobler culture. "Of the many necessary measures which this change called into being, some of the most important have been transferred with lasting success to the modern regulations of public schools: the most important of all, however, did not succeed--the one demanding that the teacher, also, should be consecrated to the new spirit, so that the aim of the public school has meanwhile considerably departed from the original plan laid down by Wolf, which was the cultivation of the pupil. The old estimate of scholarship and scholarly culture, as an absolute, which Wolf overcame, seems after a slow and spiritless struggle rather to have taken the place of the culture-principle of more recent introduction, and now claims its former exclusive rights, though not with the same frankness, but disguised and with features veiled.
