 .“ Our warriors have shown to Europe the results of his Tducationeducation [sic]; even in the far future its elements will be known. JehereThere [sic] is no doubt but that Tyrš’s work will be esteemed by all progressive men, and that even many among us will read him more attentively.

Tyrš was an exact and logical thinker, an idealist full of confidence. His personal appearance is thus described by the Sokol osefJosef [sic] Miller, Tyrš’s contemporary and collaborator. – „Tyrš was a man of middle stature, broadshouldered and deep chested. He had an erect gait and a sharp eye, Black, dense waved hair adorned his head. He used to comb it back, so that the broad and high forehead was kept entirely free. The look of his brown eyes was generally kind; only when something base provoked him, a short lightning could be observed. His nose was proportionate and slightly hooked, his beard short. The beautiful virile face was lightly sunburnt and of an energetic and noble expression.“
