I know that both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat will tell me: Well, when schools become free again, illiteracy will flourish once more, and similar things. You see, I would like to mention one thing in particular in response to the objections that may be raised by the Socialist side regarding what I have just said. The Socialists attach great importance to the so-called unified school. They say that in the future there must no longer be a class school; the children of all people must be taught in a unified school at least until the age of fourteen or fifteen. Very well, but do you believe that a school other than a unified school will exist when, for objective reasons, the independent intellectual organization, the intellectual organization independent of the state, sets up this school? I have written a little booklet: The Education of the Child from the Point of View of Spiritual Science. You may take whatever position you like on this point of view. I can fully understand any opposing position to this point of view; but if you disregard this point of view, if you disregard what can be said purely from the point of view of school philosophy about such a view, you will see that, when the education of the child is discussed, purely consideration is given to that which develops in the human being up to the age of maturity. When one speaks about the constitution of a school for objective reasons of spiritual life, one does not come to the idea of developing anything other than a unified school. It will be a need of spiritual life emancipated from the state that this spiritual life will have to prove itself effective every day anew in its representatives, that it will make its true essence and strength available to social life only when it is based on itself. Such a spiritual life will not live in abstract heights, it will not preach. Such a spiritual life will not cultivate unworldly science behind walls; it will educate people who, when they carry the thoughts of this spirituality within them, will become true leaders of economic life, our so complicated, so demanding economic life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Ich weiß, daß sowohl von bürgerlicher wie von proletarischer Seite mir gesagt werden wird: Nun, wenn die Schule wieder frei werden wird, dann wird wieder Analphabetismus blühen und ähnliche Dinge. Sehen Sie, ich möchte vor allen Dingen eines anführen gegen die Einwände, die von sozialistischer Seite gegen das gemacht werden mögen, was ich jetzt eben ausgesprochen habe. Von sozialistischer Seite legt man einen großen Wert auf die sogenannte Einheitsschule. Man sagt sich, es darf in der Zukunft nicht mehr eine Ständeschule existieren, es müssen die Kinder aller Menschen in einer Einheitsschule wenigstens bis zum vierzehnten oder fünfzehnten Jahre unterrichtet werden. Nun gut, glauben Sie aber, daß eine andere Schule als eine Einheitsschule bestehen wird, wenn aus sachlichen Gründen der selbständige geistige Organismus, der vom Staate unabhängige geistige Organismus diese Schule einrichten wird? Ich habe ein kleines Büchelchen geschrieben: Die Erziehung des Kindes vom geisteswissenschaftlichen Standpunkte aus. Sie mögen zu diesem Standpunkte was immer für eine Stellung einnehmen. Ich kann jede gegnerische Stellung zu diesem Standpunkte voll begreifen; aber sehen Sie von dieser Stellung ab, sehen Sie ab von dem, was rein vom schulphilosophischen Standpunkte aus über eine solche Anschauung zu sagen ist, und Sie werden sehen, da wird, indem die Erziehung des Kindes besprochen wird, rein Rücksicht genommen auf dasjenige, was sich im Menschen bis zum Reifealter entwickelt. Da kommt man gar nicht darauf, wenn man aus sachlichen Gründen des Geisteslebens über die Konstitution einer Schule spricht, etwas anderes als eine Einheitsschule auszugestalten. Das wird ein Bedürfnis des vom Staate emanzipierten Geisteslebens sein, daß dieses Geistesleben sich jeden Tag aufs neue in seinen Vertretern wird als wirksam zu erweisen haben, daß es nur auf sich selbst gestützt seine wahre Wesenheit und Kraft dem sozialen Leben zur Verfügung stellen wird. Ein solches Geistesleben wird nicht in abstrakten Höhen leben, es wird nicht predigen. Ein solches Geistesleben wird nicht weltfremde Wissenschaftlichkeit hinter Mauern pflegen, es wird Menschen ausbilden, die, wenn sie die Gedanken dieser Geistigkeit in sich tragen, zu richtigen Leitern des Wirtschaftslebens werden, unseres so komplizierten, so viele Anforderungen stellenden Wirtschaftslebens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":359,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-04-28/p017"}],"english":["GA 330/1919-04-28/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":359,"en_words":388,"ratio":1.08,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9703,"original_word_count":9371,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190428p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
