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. 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
e assault--for who could see to the bottom of this bewildering formula all at once? And this has long been the customary strategy of the public school: from whichever side the war-cry may come, it writes upon its shield--not overloaded with honours--one of those confusing catchwords, 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 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. CONFOUNDS THE AGGRESSOR AND STAVES OFF THE ASSAULT FOR WHO COULD SEE TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BEWILDERING FORMULA ALL AT ONCE AND THIS HAS LONG BEEN THE CUSTOMARY STRATEGY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FROM WHICHEVER SIDE THE WAR CRY MAY COME IT WRITES UPON ITS SHIELD NOT OVERLOADED WITH HONORS ONE OF THOSE CONFUSING CATCHWORDS 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
