Excerpt from Handwork Instruction for Boys In translating this work I have endeavored to be as literal as possible without injury to the English. The clear, concise style of the author has made this easier to do than would be the case with many German writers. For the convenience of English readers all technical terms have been translated, with the exception of a very few which have no English equivalent. In America there is no institution which corresponds exactly to the Volksschule, Burgerschule, Gymnasium, Realschule, Seminar, or Hilfschule. The Volksschule (plural Volksschulen) is the elementary school of Germany. It differs from the public schools of America in several essentials. In the Volksschule every pupil must pay tuition unless he is too poor to do so. Another point of difference is that while the public schools of our country are attended by nearly every child of school age, the German Volksschule loses many children who prefer to attend other schools. The Burgerschule (plural Burgerschulen) as its name indicates, is a school for the middle classes. The Gymnasium (plural Gymnasien) has a course of nine years of classical work preparatory to the university, while the Real-Gymnasium prepares for advanced technical work in the Technische Hochschule, or technical college.
