Dear Werner,

I'm running out of superlatives! Thank you very very much. It was precisely this kind of information that I was looking for.

Hello Margot,
in additional what I told about the school in Damme.

The Meyer-Holgrefe estate is located in the Bauernschaft (farm group) Holte-Bokern. This Bauerschaft is the smallest in the parish Damme and close to the parish, Therefore there was not and own side-school and kids must go to the main-school (Knabenschule) in Damme.
The Visitation report of 1862 listed that the following subjects were taught: religion, reading, writing, speaking, arithmetic, object-lessons, world chronicle, singing.
All children were required to attend school between 6 and 15 years.
The daily lessons time was of 8-12 hours and from 1 to 4 hours in the winter and summertime.
In the Bauerschaften was the lessons time in the summer only between 8-12, in the afternon the kids must work on the fields.
You can therefore assume that the education was better at the main-school and the change was much bigger to come to the higher school and later to the Normalschule, but for this the need money.

That's all what I could find.

Dear Fred,

You people really are amazing!

The reason I'm so interested in the schooling (apart from general
curiosity) is that my great grandmother (the daughter of a Heuerman) in
Damme was the first teacher in a small district school in Stearns
County and from what I recall my family saying about her, she clearly
had educational aspirations for herself and her children -- or at least
for her sons, if not her daughters, although the youngest did make it
to university in the early 20s. Would she have had enough training at
the school on the Meyer-Holzgrefe estate (Volkschule? Dorfschule?
Landschule?) to enable her to teach once the family arrived in the U.S.
in 1870? I doubt that she went to Normal School but I gather that the
requirements for teaching weren't all that strict at the time.

Thanks again!

Margot
