Put briefly: the public school has hitherto neglected its most important and most urgent duty towards the very beginning of all real culture, which is the mother tongue; but in so doing it has lacked the natural, fertile soil for all further efforts at culture. PUT BRIEFLY THE PUBLIC SCHOOL HAS HITHERTO NEGLECTED ITS MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST URGENT DUTY TOWARDS THE VERY BEGINNING OF ALL REAL CULTURE WHICH IS THE MOTHER TONGUE BUT IN DOING SO IT HAS LACKED THE NATURAL FERTILE SOIL FOR ALL FURTHER EFFORTS AT CULTURE
ved 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. For we are unable to detect any single feature in this teaching of German which in any way recalls the example of classical antiquity and its glorious methods of training in languages. 'Formal education,' however, which is supposed to be achieved by this method of teaching German, has been shown to be wholly at the pleasure of the 'free personality,' which is as good as saying that it is barbarism and anarchy. And as for the preparation in science, which is one of the consequences of this teaching, our Germanists will have to determine, in all justice, how little these learned beginnings in public schools have contributed to the splendour of their sciences, and how much the personality of individual university professors has done so.-- TUAL 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 FOR WE ARE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY SINGLE FEATURE IN THIS TEACHING OF GERMAN WHICH IN ANY WAY RECALLS THE EXAMPLE OF CLASSIC ANTIQUITY AND ITS GLORIOUS METHODS OF TRAINING IN LANGUAGES FORMAL EDUCATION HOWEVER WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACHIEVED BY THIS METHOD OF TEACHING GERMAN HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE WHOLLY AT THE PLEASURE OF THE FREE PERSONALITY WHICH IS AS GOOD AS SAYING THAT IT IS BARBARIANISM AND ANARCHY AND AS FOR THE PREPARATION IN SCIENCE WHICH IS ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS TEACHING OUR GERMANISTS WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE IN ALL JUSTICE HOW LITTLE THESE LEARNED BEGINNINGS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPLENDOR OF THEIR SCIENCES AND HOW MUCH THE PERSONALITY OF INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS HAS DONE SO
