Education has a tremendous power on man. Can't we see to which astonishing disciple the people of Sparte have submitted ('s'est pliГ©', Fr.) for centuries, and this with a view to very petty purposes: purely outer greatness, the military predominace of Sparte. This example proves that man can everything on themselves when they want it ('peuvent tout sur eux-mГЄmes quand ils le veulent', Fr.); therefore it would only be a question of making them will the good.
