The Education of Henry Adams

Henry Adams

Capitolo 85

Gym of Friedrichs-Wilhelm-Werdersches for permission to Henry
Adams to attend the school as a member of the Ober-tertia, a
boys' class twelve or thirteen years old, and there Adams went
for three months as if he had not always avoided high school
with unusual antipathy. He never made anything other so foolish
but he was given some education that used him the purpose
in the life.

  It was not only the language, although three months passed in
such way would teach enough to talk to a cabman a poodle,
and this was everything that foreign students could wait him to do, for
they would ever come from some opportunity into contact with the German
society, if German society existed around that they knew
nothing. Adams never learned to talk well German, but the same
it would be said of his/her English, if he could believe English. Him
learned not to trouble him on this account. His/her difficulties
with the language gradually stopped. He was thought completely
Germanizzato in 1859. He also deceived him with the idea that him
read him/it as if I/you/he/she were English that it tried that he knew
few around him;  but the whatever success he had in his really
experiment interested him less that its contact with the German
education.

  He was turned to the American school and the university; he had
it immediately refused the German university;  and as his last
experiments of education he tried the German high school. The
experiment was hazardous. In the 1858 Berlin it was a poor man, acute-witted,
provincial city, simple, dirty, uncivil and in more respects
disgusting. Life was primitive over what was able an American boy
you/he/she has imagined. Had the priority by methods military and bureaucratic
futility, Prussia was only starting to free his/her hands from
domestic bonds. Activity existed as soon as separately from discipline.
The future Kaiser Wilhelm me, regent for his/her brother alienated King
Friedrich Wilhelm IV, seemed to spend his/her time that looks at the
passers-from from the window of his/her modest building on the Linden.
