1. I will also add— my German exchange student couldn’t even read the harsh 19th century German text🤣

2. It’s a school newspaper from the evangelist-lutherean synod in Missouri.

   You seem to only have a part of it. I found the first issue.

   And that’s 400 slides.

3. There’s a (german…) article on Wikipedia:

4. I have a masters degree in history and from what I can tell it seems to be a kind of academic-like magazine from the church you have mentioned. I haven’t come across that exact one but there are a lot of them even from other groups apart from religious groups.
   The topics relate to school as it is called Schulblatt (school magazine) and it is published every month as Monatsschrift (monthly paper) suggests. Usually there are different authors who write articles that are put together which the table of content (Inhalt) suggests as well.
   Dr. Thomas Arnold (he seems to be a priest from England and the Germans could not give him the teacher status in Germany as he hold in England, probably because of laws, but nevertheless they think of him as a pious man, that’s what the first paragraph says)
   The Partiotism of an evangelical Lutheran Teacher
   Die Konferenz der Lehrer von St. Louis und Umgegend (the conference of teacher of St. Louis and vicinity)
   Die Orgel (the organ, the instrument)
   Was liest unser Wolf? (What does our wolf read?)
   Der Fond für öffentliche Schulen (the foundation /fund for public schools)
   Aus der Schule (from inside the school)
   Literarisches (literary stuff)
   Einführungen (introductions)
   Altes und Neues (old and new stuff)

5. Thomas Arnold was a very pious anglican priest and teacher and he taught 6.grade and he started each morning praying with his class. He is a very pious christian but unluckily is not lutheran, but he gives a great example of teaching so let’s do as he did. “Please god help us and bless us so we can work and learn as best as possible” basically very long.
