Sturm, Johann. Johann Sturm on Education The Reformation and Humanist Learning. Ed. and trans. L. Spitz and B. Sher Tinsley. St. Louis, 1995. 

Text translated in L. Spitz and B. Sher Tinsley, eds., Johann Sturm on Education The Reformation and Humanist Learning (St. Louis, 1955), 105, 312. However, Sturm s frequent run-ins with church authorities over the direction humanistic education should take played into the hands of humanist critics and supported their contention that the reformers were half-hearted supporters at best.
