Branding the criti ainst Ameri N universities “contradictory and self-destroying | in character,” he attacked what he | terms the “new Philistines” and launched a bitter denunciation against opponents of the modern educational system. “If the volce of liberty be silenced in the university and the intolerance | that now prevails in church and in state be permitted 1o the precincts of the universities of the world,” he said, “then, indeed must we be prepared to enier upun a new and dismal dark age that will | cast the thoughts and activities of | man in common and uniform molds there to remain until such time a the unquenchable thirst for liberty shall again effectively manifest itself among men."

Then the spot called | Philistia could be indicated on the map | by any child, and the doings of those | doughty warrlors, the Philistines, were | by no means unfamiliar. Toda is a new Philistia, occupying indefinitely greater than the land for which it Is named, and peopled by an active, restless and highly nervous company of men and women who have turned it into what the Prophet Jere- miah described as ‘the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.” The new and numerous Philis- tines are the proud discoverers and possessors of a doctrine of behavior which finds nothing to behave and no purpose in behaving. ‘Where they have touched education they are re- ducing it to a costly pantomime. Modern Philistine Criticized. “When the modern Philistine says that all time and effort spent upon the study of the civilizations of Greece and Rome is wasted, he thereby writes himself down as not only without edu- cation, but as incapahle of being edu- cated. Like a squirrel in a revolving cage, he may go through the motions of progress, but of real progress he can make none, for the simple reason that he has no point from which to start and no ideal at which to aim. Modern education needs nothing so much as stout resistance of Philistin- ism in its every manifestation and a revival of the classic spirit.” YORK the world are rty and as German Nationalists Oppose Classi- cal Plays in Modern Garb.
