Thus, while I disclaim all desire of being taken for an uninvited adviser on questions relating to the schools and the University of Bâle, I repudiate even more emphatically still the rôle of a prophet standing on the horizon of civilisation and pretending to predict the future of education and of scholastic organisation. THUS WHILE I DISCLAIM ALL DESIRE OF BEING TAKEN FOR AN UNINVITED ADVISER ON QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE SCHOOLS AND THE UNIVERSITY A BALE I REPUDIATE EVEN MORE EMPHATICALLY STILL THE ROLE OF A PROPHET STANDING ON THE HORIZON OF CIVILIZATION AND PRETENDING TO PREDICT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION AND OF SCHOLASTIC ORGANIZATION
 a city which is striving to educate and enlighten its inhabitants on a scale so magnificently out of proportion to its size, that it must put all larger cities to shame. This being so, I presume I am justified in assuming that in a quarter where so much is _done_ for the things of which I wish to speak, people must also _think_ a good deal about them. My desire--yea, my very first condition, therefore, would be to become united in spirit with those who have not only thought very deeply upon educational problems, but have also the will to promote what they think to be right by all the means in their power. And, in view of the difficulties of my task and the limited time at my disposal, to such listeners, alone, in my audience, shall I be able to make myself understood--and even then, it will be on condition that they shall guess what I can do no more than suggest, that they shall supply what I am compelled to omit; in brief, that they shall need but to be reminded and not to be taught. ELIVER THESE LECTURES NAMELY IN A CITY WHICH IS STRIVING TO EDUCATE AND ENLIGHTEN ITS INHABITANTS ON A SCALE SO MAGNIFICENTLY OUT OF PROPORTION TO ITS SIZE THAT IT MUST PUT ALL LARGER CITIES TO SHAME THIS BEING SO I PRESUME I AM JUSTIFIED IN ASSUMING THAT IN A QUARTER WHERE SO MUCH IS DONE FOR THE THINGS OF WHICH I WISH TO SPEAK PEOPLE MUST ALSO THINK A GOOD DEAL ABOUT THEM MY DESIRE YEA MY VERY FIRST CONDITION THEREFORE WOULD BE TO BECOME UNITED IN SPIRIT WITH THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ONLY THOUGHT VERY DEEPLY UPON EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS BUT HAVE ALSO THE WILL TO PROMOTE WHAT THEY THINK TO BE RIGHT BY ALL THE MEANS IN THEIR POWER AND IN VIEW OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF MY TASK IN THE LIMITED TIME AT MY DISPOSAL TO SUCH LISTENERS ALONE IN MY AUDIENCE SHALL I BE ABLE TO MAKE MYSELF UNDERSTOOD AND EVEN THEN IT WILL BE ON CONDITION THAT THEY SHALL GUESS WHAT I CAN DO NO MORE THAN SUGGEST THAT THEY SHALL SUPPLY WHAT I AM COMPELLED TO OMIT IN BRIEF THAT THEY SHALL NEED BUT TO BE REMINDED NOT TO BE TAUGHT
