V. TRAINING COLLEGES FOR ELEMENTARY
TEACHERS.
The elementary teachers receive their professional education in
preparatory institutions and seminaries. In some States there are
only seminaries without separate preparatory schools, but in such the
seminary course lasts all the longer, as a rule six years. In Prussia
both the preparatory institutions and the seminaries have three classes
with a one year’s course each, and the curriculum of the two estab-
lishments has been uniformly regulated as an organic whole. The
pupils entering the preparatory institutions must have passed the
prescribed time in the elementary school, that is to say, must have
reached the age of fourteen. But instead of the elementary school,
