Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Grammar Schools At the time when the English Grammar Schools were most flourishing, namely the 17th century, they subserved a practical national aim. Puritan England, by no means concerned with the teaching of the Classics per se, looked to the Grammar Schools for that subsidiary help which the study of Latin, Greek and Hebrew afforded to the intensive study of the Scriptures and pietas literata. The Grammar Schools were regarded as a great instrument in building up in our country a new theocracy, already foreshadowed by Geneva. The dominating aim of education at that time and for the next generation was, in the words of Professor Patten, ´the visualisation´ of the old theocratic dispensation of the Hebrews. Undoubtedly the ´holy languages´ helped the general aim; and the classical aspects of those languages ´were added unto them,´ sometimes very effectively; often, it must be added, with much searching of heart.
