 Our German system of education, our institutions and viewpoints-all they breed is egotistic, brutally selfish, per s0nal ambition. This personal am- bition breeds lickspittle, Byzantine flat tery and the flattery breeds despotism. And, sooner or later, despotism is sure to breed national weakness. It seems tempting to centralize all government into the hands of one man, provided this one man is just and clever and a states man in the fullest sense of the word, still, all those who know history real ize that only few such exceptional men have ever existed, and that most men of limitless power are inclined to abuse this power and to hurt. the nation. What terrible. danger to trust the fate of, mil lions to one man who owes his position entirely to the accident of. birth!
