It is much uglier, more dull, dirtier, sadder and harder, at least in our opinion and to our imagination: you judge us as overexcited and disordered; if so, it is your fault.

For this reason, we curse and scoff at your world and reject your pretended truths which, for us, are lies, including those elementary and primordial verities which you declare are evident to common sense, and on which you base your laws, your institutions, your society, your philosophy, your sciences and your arts." This is what our contemporary youth, through their tastes, opinions, vague desires in letters, arts and life, have loudly proclaimed for the past fifteen years.[63106] (Written in 1890.) ***** POSTSCRIPT: It is only fair to the French to note that they have, since the law called Debre in 1959 allowed the Catholic schools to operate freely with teachers paid by the state provided they, * use qualified teachers, * have a contract with the government submitting to inspection of their buildings etc., * submit to government study programs, * regular accepted hours etc.
