The student today lives mythically and in depth. At school, however, he encounters a situation organized by means of classified information. The subjects are unrelated.

This older environment was elevated to an art form by the new mechanical environment. The machine turned Nature into an art form. For the first time men began to regard Nature as a source of aesthetic and spiritual values. They began to marvel that earlier ages had been so unaware of the world of Nature as Art.
