"If we compare all three of these would be aims of the public school with the actual facts to be observed in the present method of teaching German, we see immediately what they really amount to in practice,  that is to say, only to subterfuges for use in the fight and struggle for existence and, often enough, mere means wherewith to bewilder an opponent. IF WE COMPARE ALL THREE OF THESE WOULD BE AIMS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL WITH THE ACTUAL FACTS TO BE OBSERVED IN THE PRESENT METHOD OF TEACHING GERMAN WE SEE IMMEDIATELY WHAT THEY REALLY AMOUNT TO IN PRACTICE THAT IS TO SAY ONLY TO SUTTER FUGS FOR THE USE IN THE FIGHT AND STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE AND OFTEN ENOUGH MERE MEANS WHEREIN TO BEWILDER AN OPPONENT
tion,' 'scientific education':--three glorious things which are, however, unhappily at loggerheads, not only with themselves but among themselves, and are such that, if they were compulsorily brought together, would perforce bring forth a culture-monster. For a 'classical education' is something so unheard of, difficult and rare, and exacts such complicated talent, that only ingenuousness or impudence could put it forward as an attainable goal in our public schools. The words: 'formal education' belong to that crude kind of unphilosophical phraseology which one should do one's utmost to get rid of; for there is no such thing as 'the opposite of formal education.' And he who regards 'scientific education' as the object of a public school thereby sacrifices 'classical education' and the so-called 'formal education,' at one stroke, as the scientific man and the cultured man belong to two different spheres which, though coming together at times in the same individual, are never reconciled. SUCH AS CLASSICAL EDUCATION FORMAL EDUCATION SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION THREE GLORIOUS THINGS WHICH ARE HOWEVER UNHAPPILY AT LOGGERHEADS NOT ONLY WITH THEMSELVES BUT AMONG THEMSELVES AND ARE SUCH THAT IF THEY WERE COMPULSORY BROUGHT TOGETHER WOULD PERFORCE BRING FORTH A CULTURE MONSTER FOR A CLASSICAL EDUCATION IS SOMETHING SO UNHEARD OF DIFFICULT AND RARE AND EXACT SUCH COMPLICATED TALENT THAT ONLY INGENUOUSNESS OR IMPUDENCE COULD PUT IT FORWARD AS AN ATTAINABLE GOAL IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE WORDS FORMAL EDUCATION BELONG TO THAT CRUDE KIND OF UNPHILOSOPHICAL PHRASEOLOGY WHICH ONE SHOULD DO ONE'S UTMOST TO GET RID OF FOR THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE OPPOSITE OF FORMAL EDUCATION AND HE WHO REGARDS SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION AS THE OBJECT OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL THEREBY SACRIFICES CLASSICAL EDUCATION AND THE SO CALLED FORMAL EDUCATION AT ONE STROKE AS THE SCIENTIFIC MAN AND THE CULTURED MAN BELONG TO TWO DIFFERENT SPHERES WHICH THOUGH COMING TOGETHER AT TIMES IN THE SAME INDIVIDUAL ARE NEVER RECONCILED
