"Minutes of a Conference about the Kibi School"

1. The report of Mader’s inspection. The pupils performed well or very well in biblical history, biblical geography, reading, religious knowledge, natural history. In arithmetic a good groundwork had been laid. Teacher Ako should use his picture book more in his teaching (Haas explained that not much of the German text had yet been translated for him). Memory work, the learning of texts and singing left something to be desired. 2. Changes in the syllabus. Mader suggests that they teach general geography for 2 hours a week in the top class. Memory work in the upper classes should be done by the pupils at home. World history should be studied in the top two classes for 2 hours a week. Arithmetic should be taught 4 and not 2 hours a week.
