ABSTRACT
I So widespread throughout the world is the experience of young nations rising on wings borrowed from an older, that one is tempted to define education, at least in its incipient stage, as the importation of an alien culture. I need but mention the teaching of Greek in Rome, of Latin in all the countries of Western Europe. It will not surprise us if even the “glory that was Greece” will, with the progress of oriental historical research now going on, be found to be based on the intellectual heritage from Egypt and Asia.
