The land was held in large i by the nobility and the farm workers were itl better than serfs. After the Napoleonic wars t e Kingdom was separated from N Ay th eh it had been associated for over four undred years. The nation became practically bankrupt and the people were on the brink of L despair. It was thought that the Danish people were on their death-bed; but the expectations of those who would grasp the inheritance were not to be realized. The .Danes, like all the other Northern hoonke; show wonderful powers of re- covery. intensity of the Frogs of their misfortunes re-awakened vital forces which have changed the Danish peasantry within a century from a poor, ignorant, submerged class to a well- , educated people, having the chief influence in the affairs of the Kingdom and with an ciency in their work which has challenged the whole world. How has the 'transformation been: "brought about? It cannot, of course, be traced to any one cause, Bu 11 who have analyzed the situation recognize that two co-ordinate movements have contributed very largely to the result.

This ideal did not come to the Danes in the flash of 'a sudden apiration; but grew steadily in the minds of the people until it became a fixed conviction directing their activities in every plane of life. The Spiritual awakening which cherished and maintained the growth of this ideal was due very largely to one man, Grundtvig, a poet and phil- osopher, and a teacher and priest who spoke to "his people with all the insight, the directness, and the fire of the prophets of old. He taught them that what had been 2 in outward power must be regained through inward strength, and he showed them how this strength could be attained through education.

First we have represent- ed the national system of education. Here the pupil must enter the elementary school at not later than seven years of age, and may continue his coursé therein until he is fifteen years of age, but 'at eleven years of age he has the option of entering a school known as the Middle School, where he may remain for three years. At fifteen years of age the pupil who wishes to continue his course may choose a general secondary school course of one or two- years at a Real school, or}. a three-year course at a Gymnasium in. direct preparation for entrance to the University or to the Polytechnical, the Veterinary, or the Agri- cultural Colleges. You will notice that in organ- ization the National School system of Denmark follows closely on the German model. The courses of stud ly in the elementary school, "fads and frills" inclu ed, do not differ in a mark- ed degree from those in our own schools. The curriculum of the Middle School offérs courses in foreign languages not available to children of the same age in Ontario. It is interesting to note that English is usually the first to be studied. The character of instruction in both the ele- -mentary and secondary schools is good, but in no respect better than that given by our own teachers. But the efficiency of a system of "education depends upon the attendance of the pupils as well as upon the instruction provided in the schools, because -schools, however good they may regularity of Sttendans of pupils in rural dis- tricts than we have b able to secure. Prac- tically no child escapes the requirements of their In my opinion, much of the thoroughness which is rightly claimed for the ele- mentary schools of Denmark is due to attendance conditions rathey than to exceptional qualities in the teaching. The schools of the independent foundation, as the diagram indicates, are of three classes, 'the free elementary schools, the People's High Schools, and the Agricultural Schools. Schoals of the first class are free, not in the sense that they are free from tuition charges, but free in that they are independent of the restrictions imposed by the regulations of the national-sys- tem. The restrictions objected to by those whé support the free schools are tainly of a religious character arising out of the relation of the State schools to the State Church. The courses pf study in the free elementary schools are very much the same as in the elementary schools be- longing to the national system. The People's High Schools and the local Agri- cultural Schools represent the most character- istic features of the Danish education. The People's High Schools are called High Schools but these dchools and High Schools as" we Know" them in Canada. They are not 'secondary schools in the sense in which the term is 'used in Great Britain, in Canada, and in the- United States. They are residential schools in which the pupils live with their teachers in the close relations of the home. They are located, not in the large centres of population, but out in the country, usually on expansive grounds and in beautiful surroundings. The buildings are not elaborate or, imposing, but are of pleasing design and well | j adapted to the purposes of instruction and as residences. The schools 4 owned by private individuals or corporations, but receive govern- ment support, but are not under government control nor subject' to government SHspection. They are attended not by boys and girls but by men and women.
