be demarded-and the School Director
needs not to be the immediate Superior of

The School Director is for the public In
struction, he is superior of the communal
schools. but he has, as it runs III Danish
only. ,eTilsynet'; i.6. right to supervise IN
the private schools. As far as concerns those
private schools which receive a subsidy from
the Public, it Is OF course III the power OF
the Public to make whatever conditions as

be required for the granting OF such subsldY'
The Speaker was speaking of the private not
subsid zed schools and Of the Home ln9true-
ton, and that was also what was held on IN
the Committees Meetings about the School
Directors Superiority.
The question can come up again, and there
fore the Speaker felt himself obliged to eN-
press the opinion held 10y the Committee
when drafting and adopting the proposed
amendment to SO (62), namely that the
Schoo. Director can never be the immediate
Superior Of the Teachers Of the private
Schools, nor OF Teachers engaged for Home
Instruction.
The Speaker was sorry to hear the Gov

this respect, but That the Ordinance sulI
acknowledged the School Director rs SUI
perior of those Teachers, the Speaker has
mentioned
His Excenency has now brought the ques-

committee held an opinion quite contrary
and the Speaker now hoped, His EXcellency

sorry to say, he would have to introduce n
new amendment in order to make 1t certain

not acknowledge the School Director as the
Immediate Superior of the Teachers spoken
of.

honorable last speaker. 1t was not quite
correct of the last honorable speaker to
say, that the majority Of the Committee was
of the same opinion as he is about the
amendment to S G3. The majority Capt.
Blackwood, Mr. Coulter and the speaker
himselt-were of another opinion, but ut last
agreed to his proposal, because the amend
ment would not make any difference
in reality, because they wanted to come to
an agreement,-and because the word nm
mediate in some cases would be wrong
About Home Instruction and instruction
in private schools, there was that main RUE
in the Drafts $ "A, that this instruction
must not be of less extent, than that of the
Communal-School.
To control that, the School Board and the
School Director have the right to visit the
