English Translation

-7- But it is of great concern when this spirit comes forth in the youth that carries the leader's Nanes. The newly established banisher of Königgrätz does not find the way to the Oberachule, in order to clarify with me floating questions. From the knowledge of the circumstances it must be clear to him that a debate is necessary and that only our equal work can lead to the desired goals. Instead, it is made in a regrettable way opposition against the school. 5./ Inspector Popp from Prague sits on the high horse and believes that the school can rule. He has received the appropriate answer. He seems to know little about the tasks of the school and is blatantly and indiscriminately over them. If the school adheres to the agreement reached and leaves the Wednesday and Saturday afternoon free for the necessary and important KJ-work, if the schedule of the hours is technical difficulties (5 courses in German, 1 course in Engliech, separate physical education of the boys and girls, separation of the young and girls in Latin and handicrafts, plug-model building lessons in 3 classes, free-range subjects, etc.) are often so great that such a Nachuittag would be very much needed, van on the other hand must expect that the HJ also makes serious efforts to comply with the agreement. And if Sohüler are still urgently needed during the teaching period for purposes of the HJ, it is in all cases timely and properly to apply for it. Wherever possible, the school will certainly meet. However, some requirements, which are still late, will reject the school briefly. Because the school has a lot to do under the difficult relations of our circle to accomplish the task of education and training, and must make a thorough use of the available time. It cannot tolerate its work constantly being crossed and burdened by attacks by the HJ and by the insufficiency of the leaders and home managers.
