[41] He never does, for this interesting record remains a fragment. [42] Situate at the head of the lake of Neuchatel, but in the canton of Vaud, in Switzerland. [43] Austria was not the only country alive to the importance of this new teaching. Prussia and Holland also sent commissioners to study Pestalozzi's system, and so did many other smaller states. The Czar (Alexander I.) sent for Pestalozzi to a personal interview at Basel. [44] _Wandernde Classen._ Some of our later English schools have adopted a similar plan. [45] One of Pestalozzi's teachers, to whom especially was confided the arrangement of the arithmetical studies. [46] By positive instruction Froebel means learning by heart, or by being told results; as distinguished from actual education or development of the faculties, and the working out of results by pupils for themselves. [47] This must mean the system invented by Rousseau, a modern development of which is the Cheve system now widely used on the Continent. In England the tonic-sol-fa notation, which uses syllables instead of figures, but which rests fundamentally on the same principles, is much more familiar. [48] _"Geht und schaut, es geht ungehuer (ungeheuer)."_ [49] The miserable quarrels between Niederer and Schmid, which so distressed the later years of Pestalozzi, are here referred to. [50] A Consistorium in Germany is a sort of clerical council or convocation, made up of the whole of the Established clergy of a province, and supervising Church and school matters throughout that province, under the control of the Ministry of Religion and Education. No educator could establish a school or take a post in a school without the approval of this body. [51] That is, the education of other minds than his own; something beyond mere school-teaching. [52] _Einertabelle_; tables or formulas extending to units only; a system embodied to a large extent in Sonnenschein's "ABC of Arithmetic," for teaching just the first elements of the art. [53] Like other matters, this, too, has been left undone, as far as the present (unfinished) letter is concerned. [54] _Erdkunde._ [55] _Recht schreiben._ [56] _Recht sprechen._ [57] One of Arndt's pamphlets, then quite new. [58] 1827. [59] He would have refused to countenance Froebel's throwing up his engagement. [60] Georg Friedrich Seller (1733-1807), a Bavarian by birth, became a highly-esteemed clergyman in Coburg. He wrote on religious and moral subjects, and those amongst the list of his works, the most likely to be alluded to by Froebel, are "A Bible for Teachers," "Methods of Religious Teaching for Schools," "Religious Culture for the Young," etc. [61] Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (1763-1825). No doubt the celebrated "Levana," Richter's educational masterpiece, which was published in this same year, 1807, is here alluded to. [62] 1808.
