Topic: Jean Baptiste Girard


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean-Baptiste Girard
As director of the schools in Fribourg (1807-1823), Girard made education compulsory, organized the school administration, insisted on the adoption of good textbooks and methods, and introduced the monitorial system, avoiding the abuse of mere memory exercise and making every study converge to the child's complete education.
This method, in fact, which Girard applied, was opposed by the bishop and the civil authorities of Fribourg, in 1823.
Girard abandoned his school and went to Lucerne as professor of philosophy in the gymnasium.
