The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 83

Germany

Germany.

For many years Germany has held a leading position among all the nations of the world, with respect to her educational institutions and system of instruction. Frederic the Great, at the close of the Seven Years War, published his celebrated regulations of 1763, making education compulsory and free for the poor. Popular instruction in Prussia has always been in the most intimate relation with the Reformed religion. It was considered necessary that every person should be able to read the Four Gospels, within which he should be able to search for himself the principles and rules of his faith. Luther himself occupied himself greatly in educational matters.
