Report on the scientific work of the study council Dr. Wenzel W e i g e l , born 6.ll.l888 in Tschemtschitz in West Bohemia. b Course: 1904-8 German teacher training institute in Prague, then 2 years as a teacher of elementary school. 1911 Mature examination at the Gymnasium in Prague-Smichow, 19ll-20 (with interruption 19l5-19)Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of the German University of Prague: Philosophy and Pedagogy, Romance and Classical Philology. 1920 Teacher's examination from Latin and French. 1920 Doctor's degree (pedagogy and philosophy in major subject). 7.6.1927 Lecturer in pedagogy at the Faculty of Philosophy of the German University of Prague. After completing his university studies, Weigel worked as a middle school teacher, and from 1922 to 24 he was on leave at the Pedagogical Psychological Research Institute in Hamburg. Here he began to collect material for his book "Von Wertereich der Jugendlichen", which was published in two volumes. I.Band, Leipzig 1926, II.Band Leipzig l936. The work aims to examine the nature of the youth according to the emotional side.The work is limited to the student youth at the age of l2-20 years. The first volume brings the material, which is available on round questions and deals more with the methodological basis of the investigation. The second volume brings up the evaluation of the material. The author examines the opinion of the young people on the individual subjects, then the relationship to extracurricular activities/spread, play, reading, music, etc.), the relationship with parents, teachers and peers. The book has been well received by the specialist criticism and praised as solid and scientific. Except for this two-volume work, Weigel has published only a dozen popu-lar scientific essays and about 30 book reviews. Weigel's low scientific production has its reason, above all, because he is in debt by building a house, as a result of which he had to look for a lot of secondary earnings. Profes- for Otto has repeatedly pointed out to him that he will not move forward at the university if he can no longer be published and continuously distracted by side activities. In his entry of 14.9.1942 Weigel tears this sentence out of context and constructs an hostility from it ./.
