This brazen and vulgar feeling is, however, most common in the profession from which the largest numbers of teachers for the public schools are drawn, the philological profession, wherefore the reproduction and continuation of such a feeling in the public school will not surprise us. THIS BRAZEN AND VULGAR FEELING IS HOWEVER MOST COMMON IN THE PROFESSION FROM WHICH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF TEACHERS FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE DRAWN THE PHILOLOGICAL PROFESSION WHEREFORE THE REPRODUCTION AND CONTINUATION OF SUCH A FEELING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL NOT SURPRISE US
nd, I fully understand what you have said about the surplus of public schools and the corresponding surplus of higher grade teachers; and in this regard I myself have collected some information which assures me that the educational tendency of the public school _must_ right itself by this very surplus of teachers who have really nothing at all to do with education, and who are called into existence and pursue this path solely because there is a demand for them. Every man who, in an unexpected moment of enlightenment, has convinced himself of the singularity and inaccessibility of Hellenic antiquity, and has warded off this conviction after an exhausting struggle--every such man knows that the door leading to this enlightenment will never remain open to all comers; and he deems it absurd, yea disgraceful, to use the Greeks as he would any other tool he employs when following his profession or earning his living, shamelessly fumbling with coarse hands amidst the relics of these holy men. HE OTHER HAND I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE SAID ABOUT THE SURPLUS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE CORRESPONDING SURPLUS OF HIGHER GRADE TEACHERS AND IN THIS REGARD I MYSELF HAVE COLLECTED SOME INFORMATION WHICH ASSURES ME THAT THE EDUCATIONAL TENDENCY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL MUST RIGHT ITSELF BY THIS VERY SURPLUS OF TEACHERS WHO HAVE REALLY NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE EDUCATION AND WHO ARE CALLED INTO EXISTENCE AND PURSUE THIS PATH SOLELY BECAUSE THERE IS A DEMAND FOR THEM EVERY MAN WHO IN AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT OF ENLIGHTENMENT HAS CONVINCED HIMSELF OF THE SINGULARITY AND INACCESSIBILITY OF HELLENIC ANTIQUITY AND HAS WARDED OFF THIS CONVICTION AFTER AN EXHAUSTING STRUGGLE EVERY SUCH MAN KNOWS THAT THE DOOR LEADING TO THIS ENLIGHTENMENT WILL NEVER REMAIN OPEN TO ALL COMERS AND HE DEEMS IT ABSURD YEA DISGRACEFUL TO USE THE GREEKS AS HE WOULD ANY OTHER TOOL HE EMPLOYS WHEN FOLLOWING HIS PROFESSION OR EARNING HIS LIVING SHAMELESSLY FUMBLING WITH COARSE HANDS AMIDST THE RELICS OF THESE HOLY MEN
