Therefore, the renovation should begin in the Gymnasium . He acknowledges the need for a greater investment in the learning of the native language and in the art of writing - the most essential chores of secondary school. The access of the semiliterate to power had provoked a drastic reduction in the wealth and dignity of the language. The question, however, was not only the poverty of vocabulary, but also the ill use of the resources offered by the language. The chore of a high-quality school should always be to lead the student to understand the importance of studying his native language in depth, for if it loses its vital strength, culture itself will tend to degenerate.
Education begins with habit and obedience, with discipline.
To discipline the youngster linguistically does not mean to overburden him with historical knowledge about the language, but to make him build determined principles from which he can build on, both internally and externally. It means to turn the student into the master of his language and to give him the possibility to construct an artistic language, starting from the works that preceded him. This, according to Nietzsche, is the only way to revive German education and culture. One must point out that Nietzsche is not hostile towards the implementation and proliferation of technical schools in Germany. On the contrary.
