Germ "a, and as the language OF tuition here
is En4ls 81, there Danish, he must also prove he
knows Danish enough. Ii when n boy goes
home to a Danish High School, It be wished
TO examine him also in the other subjects,
the gymnasium has the right to do SO ana it
may be said, he can not pass, as we'll as he
may pass. But the same may be demanded
by the gymnasiums of scholars who III one
OF the Danish Middle schools have passed
their examination ana want to be transferred
to a gymnasium. In Denmark the eXamin-
alton is held in June and July, and the new
school year commences IN August, here tue
examination IN March and April, and Il pu-
pil may thus have about 4 months before en-
terin3 the gymnasium, aud has to use this
time to prep re himself also in d nish, that
he can prove, ne IS able TO be taken up III
the / gymnasium class.
Bird Member for Uhristiapsted Country
strict (Leecu). If one has gone 50 far as
to educate Il child for admittance i'll a school
nj home and the examination is not ~saiiofdc-
tory aud it cannot enter, what then?
4th Crown Member Rudner-P eterSen). 1t
depends on the result Of the examination,
how it may be used.
3ra Member for Christiansted Country
District (LesoU. OF course in Denmark the
distance is not SO far, if the child does not
pass.
4th Grown Member (Rubner- Peter8en). If
he be refused admittauce in one school he
may be taken III another. Ii one chIld pass
es f. inst. in the Danish town Narde, and au-
other one here, both desiring to enter the
gymnasium, this has the same right to say to
both, we won't take you before we examine
You.
Bid Member for Christiansted's Country
District (LeeUy l do not wish to put any
obstacle IN the way of the Draft, but | would
like the difference to be explained. A chld
in Denmark has its people there, if it does
not pass; Il child from here would have no
one. | would like to know if there could be
any doubt about the examination here and
any trouble when the child goes home 1t
is not for the sake Of opposition | ask, but
simply that parents may DE clear on the mat
ter and expect no trouble when the child
gets home.
His ErceUency Theoretically stated there
may be some doubt, but practically there
could be none. Parents could go to the
achooi Manager and ask his opinion AS 10
whether he thought III il child would pass
if subjected to an examination. He felt sure
the answer would be satisfactory. If the
chi | were exceptionally briSh', ii would be
said, that it could be taken with the eXamlna-
ton passed here, but if not sufficiently de-
veloped to consider ii certain of being ac-
cep ed, the Manager or School Director
would warn the parents. He felt sure the
honorable Crown Member would corlob0-
rate his statement.
4th Crown Member (RuJaer- PeterSen).
Some children might obtain very low marks
and would not pass the Middle SchoJl eXa-
imitation here, some a little better marks and
according to the rules here and in Denmark
then pass the Middle School examination
but Gun hot be transferred to I gymnasium
class, others might pass the Middle School
examination with satisfactory marks and
these will be accepted with pleasure, the
candidates only proving that they under
stand Danish enough and have leaned Ger
