MISS AMALIE NIX, OF ST. PAUL. -e3
First American Lecturer In German Universities

It is great feather In the cap of the
Minnesota educational system, that the
first woman lecturer o~get hearing in
the great German universities was a
teacher in the st. Paul high school, Miss
Analie Nix of the German department.
BY invitation of Professor Rein, the ia
nous Herbartian of the University of
Jena, Miss Mix lectured last year at the
universities of jena Kiel and Marburg be-
fore the summer schools. This was made
possible by the decision of the University
of Jena last spring to admit woman to all
it's courses and to grant them diplomas.
Professor Rein is head Of the department
of pedagogy in the university, and it was
thru his efforts that the first university
summer school in Germany was organized
in 1882 . = ~'-@
Miss Nix was not only the first woman n
to be invited to lecture in the university
summer schools, but the first American.
Her topic was '"rhe Education Of the Wo-
men of the United States,'' and this was
treated under the subdivisions, "The
Training Of Girls at Home "The Woman
School, 1.-THE High School," .'The Uni
versity'' and ''Women's Colleges.''es
Altho Miss Nix felt. some timidity about
:venturing into an untrodden field in Ger
many, her reception everywhere was all
that she could have asked or expected,
oiiu lSl puSItlOl Ctlu OlIlCItl connexions
gave her entree to interesting circles that
included many noted scholars While at
Jena Miss Nix not only carried on her
lecture work, but assisted Professor Rein
in revising work on pedagogy.
Several years ago Miss Mix became es-
specially interested in the Herbartian ed
ucattonal ideas, which had not then per-
meated deeply in America. nor yet become
a cult. In looking about for the best place
to study them, she fixed upon Jena. on
account of Professor Rein's prominence
in pronulgating them, Going abroad, she
spent a year Of study in the university,
taking up pedagogy, psychology and phi-
losophy and. didactics. .. nj WI = Il.
Since her first return from Germany,
Miss Nix has done some work: in educa-
tional lectpring and taught one season
IN the summer school of the University of
Minnesota /, f.I.~ - II >.,"{N.
Having had an. opportunity Of observ-
ing German educational advantages and
ideas for women both as "a student and

an instructor, Miss Nix's conclusions are
both interesting and valuable. She says
on this subject: %>.. .;-'e- ~
Most women in Germany are awaken
ing to the fact that in order to succeed in
securing greater independence than they
now possess, a higher education is essen
tial. There is yet a vast difference edu-
cationally between American girls and the
majority Of German girls, and it may take
years before the German girl will have
reached the stage of intellectual develop
ment which the American girl enjoys at
present. Let us hope that when this is
accomplished in Germany, the German
man will then not hesitate to assign to
woman the place she deserves; but, In
stead of the domineering spirit so COM
mon among the stronger sex in Germany,
will show a kindly one and grant her
equal rights. He will then find her more
congenial and better companion =
Miss Nix Is interested in reform as well
as education. She says: ..-..sa.'.
1T surprised me to- see how we'll the
temperance question, which r discussed
freely, was received by both men and
women; and the criticisms made regard
ing the consumption of Intoxicating liquors
IN Germany were accepted in the same
kindly spirit. While in Berlin, Kiel and
Bremen, was in a position to notice the
progress anti-alcohols societies have made
women at the head of the temperance
movement in Germany are among the best
educated in their country, which is per-
haps one reason why their work is crowned
with success.
Among the cities of Germany which
have done great deal for tn temperance
cause, I think Bremen ranks first a
good share Of this is due to the untirins
efforts oe DIR. Eggers and Frau Egeers-
Smidt I am greatly indebted to both for
extending their hospitality to- me and
fam1l1arizing me with the temperance
question as we'll as with woman's work in
Germany. Both are philanthropists who
make the temperance cause part of their
life's work. z DR.: Eggers is one df the most
intellectual contributors to two German
temperance papers. Die Abstinenz and
