[Footnote 24: Black, red and gold were originally the colours of a
students' Corps in Frankfort. They were adopted as the colours of the
abortive German Federation of 1848, apparently under a mistaken idea

colours of the Empire of 1870 were the Prussian black and white, with
the addition of red.]
[Footnote 25: Geist.]
[Footnote 26: Bildung. It is as difficult in English as it is in
German to render in one word exactly what the author is thinking of.
In its literal sense Bildung implies a shaping and formative action.]
[Footnote 27: Ausbildung.]
[Footnote 28: A harmony of character, compounded of beauty and
goodness.]
[Footnote 29: Arbeitsausgleich. The meaning of this will be apparent
later.]
