Pater Gregor Girard

"Pater Gregor Girard: Sein Lebenslild als Festgabe zur Girardfeier den 18. Juli 1905 in Freiburg" offers a biographical portrait of Gregor Girard, a Franciscan friar and influential figure in Swiss education. This volume, published in 1905, commemorates Girard's contributions to pedagogy and religious instruction. The book delves into Girard's life, from his patrician background and association with the Jesuits, to his role as a preceptor and his engagement with philosophy. It covers significant periods, including his involvement with the helvetische Regierung and his connections to Pestalozzi's educational methods. Girard's work in Lucerne, his approach to religious education, and his proficiency in Latin are examined. The text also highlights his teachings on the Gospel and Christianity, his use of the Monitorial System, and his theological perspectives. Furthermore, it addresses his relationships with the Canton, the Bishop, and his impact on the Volksschule (people's school), providing a comprehensive view of Girard's life and legacy.
