Observations On The School Systems In The United States And Switzerland, Erich A. Klee
Observations On The School Systems In The United States And Switzerland, Erich A. Klee
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
One of the recurrent themes in the long history of U.S.-Swiss relations has to do with the reciprocal interest in each other's educational systems. Americans went to visit the schools and institutes of Pestalozzi and Fellenberg in the early 19th century and returned full with ideas of how to improve schools over here. They had successors who time and again hoped to get inspiration for their own work by studying how the Swiss went about the important task of educating the young.

This could be attributed first of all to the agreeable experience that the majority of our members had paid their annual fee without further request, although in some cases, the treasurer's efforts were required in the form of reiterated reminders, when the members seemed to have forgotten to pay their contributions. So the result is quite satisfactory, as from the 229 ordinary members 206 paid for 1970, which means a percentage of 89.95%.

As reported previously, "Articles of Incorporation of Swiss American Historical Society" were filed with the Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C., on March 23, 1970.

History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Switzerland, Dale Z. Kirby
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis gives an account of the establishment and development of the LDS Church in Switzerland without attempting to record a comprehensive chronological history. Instead, emphasis has been placed on beginnings and major historical developments.
In 1850, T. B. H. Stenhouse began teaching the "restored gospel" in French-Switzerland, at Geneva. Proselyting began in German-Switzerland in 1854. Despite mob violence and opposition from the clergy, press and civil authorities, some 9,846 joined the Church and 4,700 of these emigrated to "Zion." The discouragement of emigration, along with new emphasis on missionary work and improved proselyting methods, brought an unprecedented growth in …
