That this has been largely owing to the natural instincts of the people under a certain degree of mental cultivation, cannot be doubt- ed. Athens is a city of talkers and boasters, but it is also a city of readers, and a strong undercurrent of cul- tivated thought runs steadily and tranquilly beneath the effervescent surface of the political life. Whatever may occur there to endanger her institutions, there will al- l84 THE GREEKS OF TO-DAY.
ways be hope for a return to the principles of self-g...ov- ernment, while her free press and free debates keep open channels for the admission of the truth. The lit- erary tastes of the people may possibly tend to keep her poor, but it will always keep her respectable ; and as the press and the school grow stronger they will grow purer.
Neither education nor the press in Greece is what it should be. The school system, although creditable to a country just emerged from darkness, is not thorough.
The young are too much impressed with the glory and grandeur of the ancient, and the superlative merits of the modern Greek.
