Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Industrial Education and Industrial Conditions in Germany, Vol. 33 For a better and clearer understanding of what will be presented on the German system of industrial education it has been deemed wise to preface this discussion by a bird´s-eye view of the entire system of education in the German Empire. A broad idea of the structure of the system of general education having thus been attained, it will be easier to place correctly the numerous classes of industrial schools, to grasp the system of industrial education in its true relation to the system of general education, and to create in the mind´s eye a correct picture of the entire edifice of industrial education, from the lowest continuation and trade schools, its base, to the technical high schools, its crown. In justice to the reader, and to avoid the formation of erroneous conclusions, it must be stated at the outset that the system which will be briefly outlined here is a general type and not a specific form, for in its details the educational system of each of the numerous States that make up the Empire differs to a greater or less extent from that of its neighbor. Primary Education. The Volksschulen. - At the base of the German educational edifice lie the Volksschulen, or common schools. Attendance at the Volks-schule is compulsory between the ages of 6 or 7 and 14. Through social and financial distinctions the Volksschule has been divided into three parallel (not consecutive) classes, the lower, middle, and higher. The lower class is attended by children of the poorer families, as the tuition fees (Schulgeld) are smallest in this division. The middle class, in which a somewhat larger tuition fee is paid, contains children from richer families; and the higher class, commonly known as the Bürgcr-schule (citizens´ school), is attended by the richest class of children. All classes, however, are taught by equally well qualified teachers, and are given like opportunities for an education. Sometimes, also, a private school takes the place of the Volksschule." When the young student reaches his tenth year a very important age has been attained from the point of view of education. This year marks, probably, the most important turning point in the child´s whole educational career. At this age his parents must decide upon the general form of education which they desire their offspring to receive. "An effort is to lie made to remove such invidious distinctions us those based upon money or social position.
