To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For cultivating these faculties of the intellect the classics can not be surpassed or substituted. But are these the only faculties of men ? The old classical curriculum was good as far as it went. The classics are essential, the mother tongue is essen- tial, literature and history are essential, but they are not all.
It is related that an old Emperor of China, who knew that his country was kept back by its exclusive devotion to the classics of Confucius, invited all the teachers of the Empire ...to come to Pekin to a grand sym- posium and to bring all their well-loved manuscripts with them. They came, and after giving them a grand banquet he buried all the profes- sor§^ alive with their books in a deep pit. But Confucius still has fol- lowers, and neither Greek nor Latin, books nor professors, will ever be buried.
The adaptation of education to a scientific age does not thus involve a contest as to whether science or classics shall prevail, for both are indispensable to true national, if not individual, education.
