Note 25 — MEMOIR OF HEINRICH GRAETZ.

To accept this trust Graetz needed the permission of the municipal authorities, obtainable only by means of a duly accredited teacher’s diploma. He therefore attended the Catholic Normal School at Breslau for some time as “student by courtesy” (Hospitant). On November 4, 1847, after having taken an examination, he was given a diploma testifying to his ability to fill the position of teacher and rector at an elementary school. It is the only official certificate of examination Graetz could show.
