Askov American., 1919-05-08

In a preceding article stress
was laid on the fact that the
great economic progress made ir
Denmark within the last hall
century is not due to Socialism
but to highly developed ma.
tional consciousness and to the
prevailing system Of popular edu.
cation.
1t is generally said that the
state schools in Danish cities and
villages rank among the best in
Europe, and some observers have
even made the claim that they
are better than the schools in
any other country. However that
may be, the fact remains that a
very high standard of efficiency
is maintained in all the depart
mcnts of state education, and
that is mainly due to the exceed
ingly thorough methods used in
training teachers.
But it is not the primary
school. nor the Latin schools,
nor the university which is the
chief source of the fame that at
taches to the system of popular
education in Denmark 1t is the
unique institution known as the
peoples high school, which is
an inadequate translation of the
original "Folkehejskole."
Difficult to Define.
English and American writer's
who have been studying Danish
conditions. have always found it
a battling task to define exactly
what is the essential nature Of
the school because there is no
thing exactly corresponding to
it in other countries. Similar
establishments have been built
in Norway, Sweden. Finland,
Germany. England, at Tyler,
Minn.. Grant. Mich, Solvang,
CAL, and Nysted. Neb., and it is
reported that the Russell Sage
Foundation has adopted the
Danish school idea in certain sec-
tions of the south where a mag
nificent educational campaign is
in progress just now. To some
extent Booker T. Washington in
troduced the Danish methods at
the Tuskegee Institute.
And yet it seems that the
peoples high school thrives only
in its native soil; the principles
underlying it and the spirit
governing it, are so vitally in
tertwined with peculiar Danish
nationalism that it is almost inn
possible to transplant the insti-
tntions successfully.
As to the significance of the
peoples high school, let it here
suffice to say that this particular
form of popular education con-
stitutes the foundation of the
extensive and important CO.
operative system in Denmark
which is conditioned upon a
high degree Of average intelli-
gence.
Aim Of High Schools.
There are now about ninety
peoples high schools in Den
mark. the largest Of which has
regular annual attendance of
about 100 pupils while the mini
mum number of pupils at the
smallest of the schools varies be-
tween 20 and 80. The schools
are boarding institutions. and the
tuition fees. expenses for room
and board. together with little
incidentals amount to a total of
about $5l in American money
for a term of five months. ct
is quite probable that these
amounts have been increased
during the period of the war
but statistics to that effect are
not available here YETI.
Most of the schools are at
tended by young men ane
women between the age Of lS
and Is years. and a very large

parently is very flexible and, ii
seems to some, too informal, but
it serves the main purpose which
is to give the pupils a broad cul.
tural rather than a vocational
training.
Practical Topics Studied.
Emphasis is placed on the
study Of Danish language, litera-
ture and history; general
European history; civics;
geography; sciences and hygiene;
arithmetic; drawing; singing:
gymnastics; domestic arts; agri-
cultural chemistry; astronomy;
rudimentary bookkeeping and
other subjects which have a
practical Importance for the
pupils.
Lectures generally extend
over about 45 minutes, and be-
tween all the lectures the classes
sing patriotic songs and hymns.
Much attention is paid to BIZ
ography. and it is not uncommon
that the principal Of a peoples s
high school, or one of his as
sistants, devotes twelve or
twenty lectures to describe the
life of, for instance, Abraham
Lincoln. History is not ap-
preached in a strictly scientific
spirit, and generally attention is
concentrated on Danish and in
ternational events during the
last century. or certain period
Of ancient history.
No examinations are conducted
and the only actual test applied
to the work done by the schools
is that which comes in practical
life when the pupil has returned
to his or her home. Atone time
it was feared that many of the
young people at the high schools
would feel discouraged with re.
spect to resuming their work as
farmers.
Experience has. however
shown that nearly all the pupils
go back to the SOIL" and that
they usually manage to spend
several months at an agricultural
school where specific subjects are
Systematically taught on the
broad basis built by the people s
high school.
The predominating view Of life
in the peoples high schools is
that of the Lutheran church -
that is. in accordance with the
Interpretation placed on the
scriptures by N. r. s. Grundtvie
l7S3-lS72) who is the father of
the popular educational system.
Grundtvigian understanding of
the Christian principles is liber-
al. but not elastic; it is broad
minded and condemns all at
tempts at pietistic orthodoxy,
and in general applies humani-
site methods to the conduct of
life. Grundtvigianism is essenti-
ally an embodiment of sound OPP
timism, and this is the tone" of
the peoples high schools.
Results Of School Work.
Ever since 1864 the people, s
high schools have been es,
tablished in Denmark, and their
effects are incalculable. They
have elevated the farmer to a
higher level than that upon
which he formerly stood: they
have given him a strong taste for
art and literature. for practical
efficiency; for scientific prin-
ciples demonstrated and applied
in agricultural work, and Incl
dentally they have carried his
representatives into the parlia-
ment and even into the cabinet
| Of the king.
II is worth the attention of the
would-be emulators of Danish
methods to recall the fact that
the Danish farmer in politics has
refused to join the Social Demo

Juvenile Delinquency

A JUDGE in Salt Lake City, Utah. has taken in
the matter of delinquent children that might well be
applied in any region-El Paso not excepted.
This judge-hs is Hugh q. AndeIson-says he is
not going to allow parents to shrk their duty in the
matter of controlling their boys and girls and that he is
going to hold them contributing the delinquency Of
their children and fine them good stiff fines where they
admit inability to handle the situation He is justly tired
he says and he is right of sitting in judicial position
cases where parents should be acting
Here is his declaration and it is printed with
mendation that it might well be taken up by Juvenile
judges other communities incidentally his indictment
of conditions that contribute to the delinquency of boys
and girls is not applicable to Salt Lake City alone:
six months in the county jail will be the
answer made to mothers and fathers who in
here and tell they cannot control their young
daughters and keep their the path of
righteousness.
parents must learn that they responsible
for the creating of good citizens and they must
exert themselves to guide their children along the
lines which tend toward that goal We only
correct them here after the harm has been done.
Send them to the school for girls to the in
dustrial school We can talk to them ard tell
them about the right and proper conduct.
The parents alone see to it that they

the proper food, and that they dressing along

about their being at resorts until all hours of the
