used, one teacher prefers the former, an
other the latter, good results are reached in
both ways.-In the communal schools the
School Director had the right to order the
teachers to use the same method, he has not
done so;-but in the private schools he had
no right at all to DO 50, becauS9 they are
private and then have the right to use what
method they want, when their scholars only
reach the same standard as the scholars Of
the communal schools.
Built is quite another thing, if the private
teachers don't understand the proper way TO
teach, if they make real mistakes, which
have nothing to do with any method at all,
if they fl. don't understand to teach n
whole class and keep all the pupils attentive
and uctive,-if they make mistakes ia read
ing or grammar-rf they show the rivers
running up tile hIlls-if they place a picture,
about which they are questioning the pupils,
iu such a way, that only Que clu see it
if they call a dairy in a picture q church.
if they make a timetable in such Il y way, THAT
the scholars have nothing to do from about
Friday noon till Monday morning.. and then
besides the schoo,-hours ou Monday have
a lot of lessons to study ut hour for tn 81
day then Of cou,~e the Scuool Director
must try to show such teachers, ulso If they
are private, how to 10 then work in the
right way to listen to the yearly eNamlna
tons alone would be a most useless work.
And if the School Director is visiting a
private school and finds it is not opened,
though it, according to the rules the school
itself has fixed, should have been opened
and that, because the Principal is late. then,
the School Director cant waste his time, he
must hive the right to tell the teachers
present 10 opeu the school. The School
Board has the same right.
That is, what the School Director hus TO
DO with the private schools that is what
he has seen done in the Mother Country in
has own school, to which the inspectors.
there were several Of them, came HurNpcct-
eddy, listened to the teaching, sometimes took
it over themselves, and he must say, he and
the teachers iii his school learned very
much in this way
That is, what the School Director has to
do with the private schools, --a9 the honour
able last speaker several times sud. he WAS
not speaking about the subsidized schools
the speaker has also only spoken about the
quite private schools, and otherwise he IS
mot the Superior Of these schools and their
teachers, because these schools are free, and
therefore the pare nts, sending their children
IT, private schools, have the right to choose
them own teachers, aN theY IKE, Only the
teachers mast know, how to teach, to dis
miss the teachers they don't tina sa' i~fletory
-the School Director ctuuot di.m s. tl I'M.
he cannot even dismiss the teachers Of the
rJbIc schools but only propose them dis
missed Ito choose the teacher, according to
then own opinions about religion and other
mlttcrs-.o choose what subjects have to be
Taught i'm tine schools, besides tine subjects Of
the communal scIloois-jo decide which books
have 10 be uoed-to fix the schoolhours rs 1t
i, most conference.-the choose what method
they prefer-to u certain degree, pructi-
caUy it is always a little dificult Ito decide
among which other children they want to
send their own childreu,- in short, they are
the masters Of their schools, so long ae they
follow the rules Of the School Ordinance,
aud me- supposes tlat this must be sufficient,
and that it is only in the interest Of the
private teachers, that these sometimes viii
get occasion to get information, winch some
Of them might want.
These rights are at least highly appreciat-
ed in the mother country.
He supposes that his opinion about these
matters does not differ from what was sad
by the honorable last speaker.
