To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Possibly if we call to mind the circumstances which have induced the present attitude of the pub- lic schools with respect to this subject, we may be in a better position to pass judgment upon sound policy. These circumstances go far back in the his- tory of our education, finding their roots in the two 82 LETTERS TO TEACHERS great cultural movements which introduced what we call the modern period of western history. I refer to the Renaissance and the Reformation. On the side of book-learning, ...the Renaissance was marked first and essentially by its tremendous in- terest in the pagan classics of Greece and Rome. In the Middle Ages the universities had given no instruction in the pagan humanities, and had, in- deed, in particular frowned upon a too close ac- quaitance with the writings of the pagan poets. Theology, philosophy, and poetry all had their ec- clesiastical forms distinct in spirit and form from the classics. But the Renaissance humanists were immensely taken with the rediscovered monuments of pagan literature; they developed, indeed, a verit- able cult of these "humanities" (as distinguished from theological studies), and out of this enthu- siasm grew the modern academic "classical" educa- tion, stressing pagan and avoiding Christian cul- ture.
