Mordechai Breuer wrote a long piece about the life of RSRH that appears
in the book Guardians of Our Heritage that was edited by Rabbi Leo
Jung. One part of this essay discusses "Torah with
Derekh Eretz" and I have posted this at <br><br>

It gives insight into what TIDE is.<br><br>
The following is an excerpt from this piece. that gives some insight into
Rav Hirsch's relationship with the students in his school.<br><br>
<font size=3>One of them [One of RSRH's students] writes: "He
conversed with us in our own<br>
language, took interest in every blow dealt us by pupils of the<br>
Philantropin [This was the school run by the Reform Jews of Frankfurt.],
<br>
checked on the class of the stamps we exchanged,<br>
gave a rigorous examination to our footballs-in brief, he was<br>
our intimate." Another one relates : "He never raised his
voice<br>
to a pupil. If he traveled to another city, he would say to him,<br>
'Behave so that they will see you are a pupil of Rabbi Hirsch.'<br>
He influenced them by his personality; the look of his burning<br>
was engraved deep in the memory of those he had educated."<br>
