Autograph Quotation Signed, oblong small 4to, New York, April 3, 1911.
BERLITZ, MAXIMILIAN (1852-1921) German born, American founder of the language schools that bear his name, founded in Rhode Island in 1878.
He comments on the difference between education and intelligence. In full, "Education is a very poor substitute for intelligence. An educated donkey is still a donkey. The promiscuous[sic] over education of the masses has done more harm than good, making turbulent parasites out of elements that would have been useful laborers and farmers." He signs, "M. Berlitz," with place and date. Penned on an autograph album sheet so indicated on top margin in French, German and English. A superb, boldly written quote. Quite scarce. Very Good (Item ID: 528)
