What, to announce to the petitioner, should be reported to the Provincial Board, having previously submitted this opinion for the consideration of His Eminence 110. February 17. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, in the case of appointing the sexton of the Pavsky churchyard, in the Luga district, Alexei Petrov, as a deacon in the same churchyard. In pursuance of the following resolution of Metropolitan Ambrose, laid down in the case of the promotion of a sexton, Luga district, Pavsky churchyard, Alexei Petrov, to deacon in the same churchyard: “due to this relationship, can this Petrov be a deacon at the said church, consistory, present an opinion,” Archimandrite Philaret, who was present in it, gave the following opinion: February 17. Despite Petrov’s relationship, his appointment as a deacon in conjunction with the legal order for the following circumstances: 1) From the names of the Pavsky priests it is clear that they are not siblings, and consequently the relationship between them consisted of their wives; and one of these, as can be seen from the reports, is not even alive, which means the connection between the houses is even reduced. 2) Petrov is now already in the clergy of the same church to which he wants to become a deacon, and his promotion to this degree will not increase the number of those related to it. 3) During Petrov’s stay with his father as a sexton, no incidents were discovered in this case that would require the separation of relatives; and in this case, in paragraph 27 of the Spiritual Regulations, it is allowed for the son to be with the priest father, by the verdict of the parishioners (which was given to Petrov), and by the blessing of the Bishop. Therefore, Petrov should be a deacon under his father, if His Eminence blesses him. Despite the relationship, it is possible, what is the opinion, to present His Eminence for the discretion of 111. In February. Letter from Archimandrite Philaret to Chief Priest I. I. Derzhavin, about student Vasily Suvorov Chief priest Fr. Ioann Derzhavin, on February 26, 1815, wrote to Archimandrite Philaret: “Having completed the higher educational course at the Alexander Nevsky Academy, a student of the second department, Vasily Suvorov, wrote in his petition to me that he, feeling the ability and strength to teach philosophical sciences in the army seminary, asks for assignment to a teaching position in this class, since it was entrusted to the father rector for a while. In the certificate given to him from the academy, in which he was noted for his decent behavior and success, and to his own challenge about his ability, I need, however, a special testimony from your Reverence about his sufficiency for teaching the doctrine in the said class. Therefore, I humbly ask you to honor me by informing me whether the said student Suvorov has any hope of being able to teach philosophical sciences.” On Archimandrite Philaret’s handwritten draft response letter, which contains the following content, the time of signing the letter is not indicated. Most Reverend Father! About the student Suvorov, about whom Your Reverence deigned to demand information from me, whether he has sufficient knowledge to teach at the army seminary of philosophical sciences, according to a certificate from the Academic Board, it turned out that the former professor of philosophical sciences before the final test did not give him any special recommendation, except that he placed him in the 2nd category for success; and by the penultimate test, which took place at the end of 1813, he testified that Suvorov’s students had very good success. What the final test committee concluded about this student based on the test and consideration of previous recommendations, your Reverence has already deigned to see from the certificate given to him, and, by the way, from the fact that he was retained in the rank of student and was not appointed anywhere as a teacher. Mine is necessarily contained in this evidence. Why, presenting them at the discretion of Your Reverence, with true high reverence I have the honor to be, V(our)th V(high reverence), M(merciful) G(sir) 112 March 8. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, on the proposal of the dean, archpriest of the Shlisselburg Cathedral, Alexander Pantovsky, on the approval of the churchwarden of the Annunciation Church, its parishioner, Colonel Afanasy Suslov In pursuance of the resolution of Metropolitan Ambrose, which followed the presentation of the dean, archpriest of the Shlisselburg Cathedral, Alexander Pantovsky, on the approval of its parishioner, Colonel Afanasy Suslov, as the headman of the Annunciation Church, Archimandrite Philaret, who was present at the consistory, gave the following opinion: March 8. Since out of two different parishioners elected to be church elders, from the side of the clergy the tradesman is elected by one priest, and Mr. Colonel Suslov by the archpriest, the priest and the entire clergy; since the good opinion of the tradesman is doubted by the presentation of the archpriest; and to the reproach of the person of Mr. Suslov, the citizens did not present anything: and since it is better to entrust church property to the care of a noble man who has a state pension, rather than to a non-employee tradesman hired for a small salary: then give decisive priority to the election of Mr. Suslov as headman and present this opinion to His Eminence for his consideration: and if approved, give Mr. Suslov, for the post of headman, a decree that he will announce clergy 113. March 18. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, according to the explanation of the priest of the Church of the Entrance of Jerusalem, Philip Kirillov, to whom he asked to assign the clergy of the same church with the headman, so that they would exclude from the general sale the place belonging to the house of 54 long and 17½, diameter and appoint appraisers to one of the parishioners According to the explanation of the entrance to Jerusalem priest Philip Kirillov, to whom he asked to assign the clergy of the same church with the headman, so that they would exclude from the general sale the place belonging to his house 54 long and 17½ in diameter and appoint appraisers for it from the parishioners, Archimandrite Philaret, who was present at the consistory, gave the following opinion: March 18. It is impossible to provide a place to a priest without selling it, because he himself agreed to the sale, and this is already the Highest command; the exclusive right to purchase the land located under the house and estate of priest Kirillov, to the extent indicated on the plan, belongs to this priest for the following reasons: 1) he built up and fertilized this land, considering himself its permanent owner, on the basis of the Highest decrees; and consequently, now, being forced to sell his house and give up the land fertilized by his labors and dependency for nothing, he would have suffered losses innocently; 2) with its structure, it contributed to keeping the land in the possession of the church and provided the church with benefits, partly through the similar sale of one house to house clerks and watchmen, partly through the concession of income from part of the land belonging to its place according to the plan; 3) both for these circumstances and out of respect for his large family, the church is obliged to help him keep his home, and not force him to wander around with strangers; 4) it is no less necessary to give him this will so that the parishioners, who are accustomed to resorting to him for necessary and often impatient delays, are not forced to look for him in unknown and perhaps distant apartments; 5) the exclusion of this place from the general sale should not upset this latter, since buying a place separately usually finds more hunters, and therefore should be more profitable than all together 114; 6) according to this respect, prescribe Fr. Archpriest Znamensky with the priestly and church ministers and the elder by decree, so that, in agreement with priest Kirillov, they appoint appraisers to the land located under the house and his estate and shown on the plan at a fair and reasonable price, and for this they would provide him with this land for his own possession, with the execution of a legal deed of sale and with the imposition on him of the obligation to answer for civil duties for the land, as for his own, the priest's, without disturbing the church. And this opinion should be submitted to His Eminence for his consideration 115. May 7. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the proofreading errors he found in the philosophy textbook Carpe printed by the commission The rector of the academy, Archimandrite Philaret, wrote the following to the commission of theological schools on May 7, 1815. To the Commission of Theological Schools from the Rector Archimandrite Philaret. Last December 19, 1814, the Commission of Theological Schools instructed me to supervise the printing of the Philosophy of Carpe, and at the end of the matter, if significant errors were found, to submit it to the Commission. Why, as an example, I present a note of all the errors found in Logic. This note shows that these errors are for the most part very unimportant, and in general can be easily corrected, even by students, and if they had not discovered something, by students: since this book is a classic. Therefore, from the other parts, from which the latter were recently obtained, I did not consider it necessary to provide extracts of errors. As for the printer, he is not guilty of many of the errors found: they were in the previous edition. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. May 7, 1815 Attached to this report is the following list of proofreading errors: May 14. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, in the case of a deacon and a sexton who applied for the same place According to the report from the office of the Alexandronevsky Lavra that Deacon Peter Sedkov was not noticed by the office in any reprehensible acts, Archimandrite Philaret, who was present at the consistory, gave the following opinion: May 14, 1815. The deacon turned out to be the same as the sexton in reading, church singing and the Catechism, but shows more cenobitic education, and has the advantage of a church degree: the sexton has on his side seniority, approval from the parishioners and the large number of his poor family. And the first can receive the requested place - in fairness; but the latter, having lost it, would be left without hope. Therefore, in these mutual circumstances, should the former be produced, or, leaving him waiting for another convenient place, should the latter be produced now, and submitted to the Archpastoral discretion of His Eminence) 117 . June 2. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, according to the board of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy that bachelor Gerasim Pavsky wants to take the place of the keymaster of the Kazan Cathedral Stefan of Golmsky According to the board of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy that Bachelor Gerasim Pavsky, who was present at the consistory, wants to take the place of the keymaster of the Kazan Cathedral Stefan of Golmsky, gave the following opinion: June 2. 1815. How, according to the 76th Apostolic Canon, explained by the Holy Synod and printed in the Catechism for Clergy, a presbyter cannot place or appoint his own son or relative in his place; There is no righteousness, even the essence of God, to dispose according to human passions, or to bring the Church of God under inheritance; which is consistent with the position of the Commission of Theological Schools, point 5: then marriage with the daughter of Fr. Archpriest Golmsky cannot be accepted as a necessary condition for the admission of anyone in his place. since the subsequent death of this archpriest made the priestly place at the Kazan Cathedral vacant: then of the two candidates in mind, the one recommended by the Academic Board, Master Pavsky and the petitioner of the Resurrection Deacon Dukhovsky, preferably deserves to be promoted first: for he, Pavsky, before he entered the Academy, was already a teacher at the former Alexandronevsky Academy, while Dukhovsky entered only the philosophical class: and therefore older Dukhovsky due to the time itself, as well as because he had already earned the title of master, and, according to the Rector of the Academy, the first place on the list of masters; Moreover, about him, Pavsky, there is from the Academic Board an approving certificate and a certificate of convenience for him to combine the priestly position with the Academic one for the time being. This opinion of the Consistory shall be submitted to His Eminence for consideration and decision 118. June 20. Report from the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Novgorod Theological Seminary, which he had reviewed Prince A. N. Golitsyn in an instruction to the board of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, dated May 30, 1815, wrote: “The commission of theological schools, having considered the proposal of the academic board, No. 74, decided: 1) From the seminaries of the St. Petersburg district, now only Novgorod and Tver will be reviewed, which will be ready for review from the middle of the coming June; the other four seminaries, i.e., the local one, Pskov, Mogilev and Arkhangelsk, should be left without review until the future course of study, but so that the academic board on the state of these last seminaries, by virtue of paragraph 468 of the charter given to it, would request detailed information, and present an extract from it to the commission. 2) When inspecting seminaries, inspect the district schools located at them, as well as those that will be on the path of the auditor. 3) The rector, Archimandrite Philaret, will be the auditor of the St. Petersburg Academy, who has already been notified of this appointment by the commission and provided with instructions that should guide the inspection of schools 119. In pursuance of the order of the commission of theological schools, the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, in a report to the commission of theological schools, in June, 1815, No. 9, wrote: A report from the rector Archimandrite Philaret to the commission of theological schools. On behalf of the commission of theological schools, having reviewed the Novgorod seminary this June 14, 15 and 16, I have the honor to present, firstly, a testimony of my exercises on this subject in an extract from the journal that I left with the Seminary Board A. For this reason, about the Novgorod Seminary in general, I have a duty to convey that I found it in a fairly comfortable condition. The theological department had to become scarcer with successful students since last year's election to the Academy. There are only more diligent left in it than diligent and capable; and yet some of these latter are in poor health. Why is it that now only one student from this department is destined for the Academy? However, out of the 24 students that make it up, 9 are assigned for the first category, 9 for the second, and 6 for the third. In the Philosophical Department, capable students were more visible. The successful category consisted of 36 students, of whom 4 were selected for admission to the Academy; category of unsuccessful - out of 7 students, 3 of whom, in the hope of correction, were left in the same department; and the rest, as hopeless, are designated for exclusion. There are quite a few hopeful students in the Rhetorical Department. Some did not have enough time in their youth. For this main reason, 48 people were retained for the second year. 41 were assigned for transfer, 15 for expulsion. Success in Latin literature in the lower department was not to the extent that should have been desired. According to the remark of the Seminary Administration, which there is no reason to doubt, this occurs especially from the early entry of students from the District Schools into the Seminary and from the imperfect establishment of these in the beginnings of the Latin language in district schools remote from the supervision of the Seminary. The course of some other educational subjects will still be wavering due to the change made in the middle of the educational course by the transformation of the Seminary. The course that is about to begin should naturally receive more correctness, and therefore be accompanied by stricter reporting than now. The signs of the moral state of the students, as far as a short period of observation allowed us to notice them, were for the most part favorable. They show calmness, obedience, a habit of order and attention to their work. One of the methods of supervision, which belongs to the local Seminary Board itself and is based on knowledge of local circumstances, is that not a single student of the Seminary lives outside the monastery, but even those who live here on their own have an apartment with their needs, at a low price. In the content of the students, the Seminary Board is guided by those ways of using the little for the benefit of the many, which are shown in the charter under the description of the students’ clothes and their accessories, in the notes. How many students, and to what extent, use the content or assistance, is attached to this list of statements from the Seminary Board in the original, V. The rooms in which the students live are located conveniently and are found in neatness: only in some places they require repairs inside. One of the two buildings now has an iron roof. 7 rooms were found empty. They can accommodate 70 to 80 students. But most of them will be engaged in the next transfer of new students to the Seminary from district schools. The building on the site of which it is proposed to build a new one for the district school, which I inspected on the special instructions of the Commission of Theological Schools, explained in its journal on the 12th day of this June, was found extremely dilapidated and incapable of repair. I cannot give the opinion required of me on this subject until I receive the explanations mentioned in the attached extract under number 6. The seminary hospital was found in a condition that meets the needs. The library is located in a separate, large and strong building from the others. In terms of the quantity and quality of books, although not the latest ones, it can be considered among the best of the theological schools. Many useful books are found in it in many copies: for example: Dionysii Areopagitis opera, in 3; Ephremi Syri, at 7; Basilii Magni, at 5; Maxima Bibliotheca Patrum, in 2. Having proposed to the Seminary Board that it begin to describe them according to the new classification, I first demanded from it a list of the surplus copies, with the intention of submitting to the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools whether it would be pleased to turn them into favor of other libraries in order to deliver in exchange to the Novgorod Library those that it needs, which are especially the newest ones. When examining the affairs of the Seminary Board, it was found that the IX article of its journal on November 21 of last 1814, and the XIV article on December 23 of the same year confirmed, to appoint the secretary of the Seminary Board not from the professors, although from these Mr. Ignatiev, and especially Mr. Belozersky agreed to take this place, but the former clerk Nikolaevsky, who, having completed his studies at the Novgorod Seminary, was with her, first of all, as a teacher of musical singing. Finding one thing in the Seminary Charter that the secretary can be one of the professors who, even if they only had a candidate’s degree, already have the right to the rank of 12th grade, and therefore can bear the title of secretary with decency; and not seeing it resolved whether someone who has neither an academic degree nor a civil class can be a secretary, I made it my duty to bring the above-mentioned case to the attention of the Commission of Theological Schools. What other comments, when examining the affairs, I made at the Novgorod Seminary Board, the Commission of Theological Schools deigns to discern from the proposals mentioned in the extract under numbers 3, 4 and 5. However, the course of affairs in the Seminary Board was found to be consistent with the Charter. The speed with which the requirements for the case log were submitted testified to the preserved order in the location of the Archive. What could be added here about the superiors and students: then, due to the shortness of time, and in accordance with paragraph 467 of the Academic Charter, I leave it to my duties until the most convenient case for execution. Academy Rector Archimandrite Filaret No. 9, "" June 1815 120. The following documents were attached to this report: Extract from A.. June 14, 1815 At eleven o'clock in the morning the survey of the Novgorod seminary began. The test began with those items for which the students were found, according to the schedule of school hours. These subjects were church history, and general and Russian history. The test lasted an hour and a half. From four o'clock in the afternoon, for two hours, the test subjects were languages: Hebrew, French and German. In the first half of seven o'clock, the students' rooms, the seminary hospital and the library were inspected. Also the building on the site of which the seminary board intends to build a district school. The time from half past seven to half past nine in the afternoon was spent inspecting the seminary board. On these subjects of review, the seminary board was asked to: 1) Begin to describe the seminary library according to the new classification. 2) First compile a list of the most important books in this library, which are in many copies, and deliver it to the reviewer. 3) The former district teacher Spassky, placed by the seminary board, with his students on state support, how, and where, the seminary board will find it appropriate, according to information about his personality, to be removed from the seminary, firstly because this case is not approved by any rule of the charter, and that the seminary is not a place of learning, but of education; secondly, because with the upcoming transfer from district schools, the seminary board will have a need for government-funded vacancies. 4) Certification of the seminary amounts, based on paragraph 195 of the seminary charter, is recorded in the board journal. 5) The issuance of large sums should not be made against the receipt of the economist, but according to paragraph 196 of the seminary charter, in the board itself, with a receipt from the recipient, in the book. 6) Enter into the most precise consideration of the extent to which the proposed establishment of a district school and a seminary at the seminary is needed, how many people are supposed to be supported in this latter, and on what basis; whether the Sofia district school will be destroyed by this institution or not; and finally, could the seminary board, after considering (proposed hereby) according to the plan of the building and considering it with the needs, reduce the required amount, which the commission of theological schools seemed to be very significant for the bursa. Let the reviewer know about what follows. 7) Provide the observer with evidence of the number of students receiving government support and the degree of assistance provided to them. From ten o'clock in the morning a test took place in the theological and philosophical sciences. It lasted four hours. From four o'clock in the afternoon, the test in Russian and Latin literature continued for two hours and a half. On this same day, the students of all departments, during their free time from the verbal test, were busy composing. The test took place in the mathematics, physics and Greek classes. It lasted from nine o'clock in the morning until half past twelve. The seminar meal was inspected. Subsequently, with the consent of the seminary board, rank lists were drawn up, and those dismissed were intended to be promoted to the next departments, and those who were hopeless were to be expelled. The following are intended for the Academy: from the higher department, Kunitsky; from the middle, Emmaussky, Uzhinsky, M. Dobryakov, P. Soloviev. 8) The seminary board was asked to consider these orders preliminary because there is still a school month left in which lessons in some subjects must be completed; and, if during this time the board sees it necessary to make some changes in the rank lists, it is left to him to communicate with the observer on his return journey, and then present the lists to His Eminence. The review is concluded through verbal communications between the reviewer and professors on subjects related to them. No. 460. June 16 days, 1815 121 B. A list showing how many students in each department were in the Novgorod seminary by the 15th of June 1815, how many of them were on full and half state kosht and how many were on kosht fathers contributing different amounts of money to the seminary: I. Theology students – 24 people. II. Philosophy students – 44 people. III. Literature students - 104 people. 1) on a full government budget - 25 people, 2) half – 74 people, 3) on the father's kosht with a contribution to the seminary per year of money: a) 60 rubles – 29 people, b) 30 rubles – 3 people, c) 20 rubles – 1 person, d) 10 rubles per apartment for 40 people. All these students live in the seminary 122. June 21. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the state of the Novgorod district school revised by him The rector, Archimandrite Philaret, dated June 21, 1815, No. 10, presented the following report to the commission of theological schools: Report to the commission of theological schools from the rector Archimandrite Philaret. I hastily examined the district and parish schools located in Novgorod: firstly, saving the time necessary for the timely continuation of the work entrusted to me in other places that required a lot of attention; secondly, providing a full overview of the above-mentioned schools to the Novgorod Seminary Board, which has already proposed to do this. What the brief examination I made consisted of, the Commission of Theological Schools will see from the attached list from the journal I made about it on the spot. The teaching of the Latin language turned out to be not at the desired (sic) level of perfection here either. In Greek, Sacred History and Geography, the students' answers were more satisfactory. The room in which 20 students are accommodated is not red, but it corresponds to its purpose. So are the study rooms. There are also idle ones, in which more students could fit. The proximity of the school to the St. Sophia Cathedral has the advantage that the teaching places are conveniently filled with capable members of the cathedral, who are not small in number, not rich and not burdened by the parish. This report was not sent along with the report about the seminary from Novgorod because, due to haste, it could not be prepared in Novgorod, but was written on the way. Rector, Archimandrite Filaret. No. 10. June 21, 1815 Attached to this report is the following journal At nine and ten o'clock in the morning, the classrooms of the Novgorod district and parish schools and the rooms where the students were accommodated were inspected. Pupils of each department and class were briefly tested in different academic subjects by questions from the observer; and especially in Latin and Greek by analyzing and translating text from educational books. Some excellent penmanship experiments are taken by the reviewer. From the school writing we looked at the inventory journal. Rector, Sofia Archpriest Timofey Nikiforov. No. 53, 17 days of June. 1815 123 June 21. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the state of the Vyshnevolotsk theological school, which he reviewed Archimandrite Philaret, June 21, 1815, for No. 13, wrote to the commission of theological schools. Report to the Commission of Theological Schools from Rector Archimandrite Philaret. While passing through Vyshny Volochek, I made a brief inspection of the schools there. What it consisted of - the Commission of Theological Schools is pleased to see from the proposed list from the magazine, made by me on the spot. Language classes are both, and both departments are not perfect. When, after inspection, I revealed this remark to the teachers, the highest class teacher, Priest Alexey Vyshnevolotsky, explained that students, being occupied with translations only from a foreign language into Russian, and never from Russian into a foreign language, do not achieve such success in languages ​​as they could have achieved by using both of these methods; and that the latter method was not used for a long time at the school, since the charter was silent about it, and the former auditor interpreted this silence about its abolition; that this method is now in use, but has not yet had a great effect, since it was introduced recently, since the rules of the amended charter have recently become known. This justification is not unworthy of respect: and therefore, would it not be appropriate for the Commission of Theological Schools to leave the school, after my verbal advice, without further remark this time, and to give it more time for correction. The house, at the request of the rector, donated to the school by the merchant Kuzin, is an important acquisition, due to local circumstances. It is not in a noisy area of ​​the city; and, although not new, it is still reliable. The main building freely accommodates classes that are not sparsely populated: two other inspectors. 8 students, 4 half-students and 11 self-employed students. When one part of the house, not yet finished, is ready for habitation: then one or two teachers and 30 students can fit. There is a bathhouse and a cellar, and a vegetable garden cultivated for the benefit of the students, the land of which was valued at 1,500 rubles by those who wanted to buy it. Thus, a permanent bursa is almost constructed here. The attention of the authorities can approve and improve it. School writing is constantly being improved. I did not have time to delve into the details of the economic part. Some weakness of the school authorities, in my opinion, is proven by the fact that out of 98 students of the District School, according to the written testimony of the teachers and according to the Rector, 22 completely abandoned the study: although, however, this latter explains this case, partly by their great age, and partly by the example of some students who were expelled before and took advantageous places. However, I left the appointment of students for transfer or expulsion to the approaching open and final test: since in the present case I did not have time to test everyone in each of the academic subjects. Whether this test should take place under the leadership of the Rector alone, or under the supervision of one of the outsiders, I will propose to the Tver Seminary Board for consideration. And this report was not sent from the place, at the speed of departure from Vyshny Volochok, and was written already on the way. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 13. June 21, 1815 The following journal is attached to this report: There was a brief tour of the Vyshnevolotsk district and parish schools. In the first hour of the afternoon, the school's writing department was inspected; in the third and fourth classes there are classrooms and a school house. In the higher department many students are proficient in Greek and Latin, and partly in sacred history and geography. In the lower department only a few students are tested, and only in languages. In the highest class of the parish school, one student was tested in Russian grammar, and answered all the questions asked of him satisfactorily. Father Rector, who has not yet received an order from the Tver seminary board regarding the final testing of students for transfer, was asked to prepare the school for such testing at ordinary times, despite this brief inspection, from which the observer could only get an idea of ​​the state of the classes, and not of each student separately. Vyshnevolotsk district theological school rector, Kazan Cathedral archpriest, Vasily Petrov. No. 33 124. June 21. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the state of the Novotorzhsky theological school, which he reviewed Archimandrite Philaret, June 21, 1815, for No. 15, wrote: Driving through Torzhok on a Sunday, I could not have such a long stop to wait for the next one, due to the shortness of the entire time, in which, of necessity, the execution of all the work entrusted to me is constrained. And so I decided, as time allowed, to see the Novotorzhsky District and Parish Schools on Sunday. After the liturgy, I entered the classrooms, where both teachers and students also came from the church. In order to preserve the decency of the day, teaching aids were not used. After several questions about Russian Grammar at the Parish School, at the District School, starting from the consecration of the seventh day, I entered into a conversation about sacred history, and some parts of this conversation, and the passages of Sacred Scripture that I encountered, forced them to be translated into Greek and Latin, sometimes extracting edifying conclusions from the subjects addressed in the conversation. Thus, the honor of the day, I think, is not offended; and the purpose of the review is easily achieved. The classes that I tested, I found everything in good order and even perfect. Students translated into Greek and Latin without requiring word assignment; and some even translated the latter in two ways, literally and periphrastically, for better purity of expression. The school rooms are neat, but not spacious; There is a particular lack of halls for open trials, which citizens are curious to see. One test was sent to the hall of a neighboring merchant's house, at the request of the school director and with the consent of the owner, but now this house has been sold. It is a pity that with such well-maintained schools there is no collective residence for students due to lack of premises. The school writing system was found in perfect order. The students of these schools are more civilly educated and more strictly preserving neatness than those from Vyshnevolotsk. Perhaps this should partly be attributed to the fact that the Novotorzhsky schools were formed from a previously existing small school; however, one cannot help but attribute this, together with successes in science, to the honor of those in charge of the schools and those teaching in them. I have the honor to present a list from a journal I made after visiting the Novotorzhsky schools. And this report, due to haste, could not be prepared on the spot and would be sent from Tver. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 15. June 21, 1815. Attached to the report is a copy of the following journal: June 20, 1815, Sunday. At the end of the Liturgy there was a brief tour of the district and parish schools of Novotorzh. In both departments of the district school, some students were orally tested in Greek and Latin; and students of the higher department - also in sacred history; from the highest class of the parish school one was tested only a student, and only in Russian grammar. The students' responses were mostly satisfactory. After that, the school writing department was also examined. The ruling post of rector of the Novotorzh district school, the Church of St. Clement is priest Alexey Postnikov. No. 4 125. June 23. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Tver seminary On June 23, 1815, No. 22, Archimandrite Philaret reported: The review of the Tver Seminary took place on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd days of this month. The Commission of Theological Schools is pleased to see the order of exercises for the reviewer from the attached extract from the journal of the Seminary Board. The educational part of the Tver Seminary was generally found in a fairly comfortable condition. The higher department is small due to last year's selection of many of the best students into the Academy. Some students seem to have reached this department only through a long time of study: but some are capable and successful. 5 students were assigned to the first category, 8 to the second, and 5 students to the third. Then one was left out of the ranks to continue his studies in the next year because, having recently entered from the Moscow district, he listened to Theological lessons for another year. Viktor Protopopov was appointed to the Academy. The middle department has more talented students. Of these, 51 students were appointed to the higher department; to be excluded due to hopelessness – 12; left without transfer in the hope of success in the next year - 12. Elected to the Academy: M. Ponizovsky, A. Kolokolov, G. Meglitsky, S. Kolerov, G. Kosukhin, P. Sokolov 3rd. From the lower department, 88 students were assigned for transfer to the middle one; to continue teaching in the same department 33, to expel 50 students. Of the theological sciences, due to the recent transformation of the Seminary, and due to the lack of manuals, only Dogmatic Theology is taught. However, the students’ theological knowledge is generally thorough. The philosophical class, despite the difficulty made in its course by the illness and death of the former professor, is organized as only the limited benefits allow. In the classes of Literature and Greek, the younger students who entered from the District Schools distinguished themselves greatly. One of them is only 13 years old; but since, when asked if he wanted to enter the secondary department, he answered that he would, if he turned out to be worthy, then it was impossible to refuse him this appointment, based on his successes. The Commission of Theological Schools is pleased to see here that the transformation of schools is beginning to bear fruit. Knowledge of the Latin language in the Tver Seminary is generally in good condition, which should have begun to be assumed even before its transformation. Other classes of languages ​​are in the same state. For the better organization of the crowded Greek class, a lecturer was appointed, who was assigned 50 rubles as a salary, given by the Rector from his salary. The classes of Historical and Mathematical-Physical sciences, although their course on the occasion of the transformation had to be shortened by one year, are not sparse in success. Supervision of good behavior is especially difficult at Tver Seminary because all the students are scattered among apartments. However, the Board has appointed senior officers for supervision, which, if possible, is applied to the rules of the Charter. According to the little mutual communication between the students, in some of them one can see good behavior with humanity, in others simplicity has not yet been processed. Due to the lack of general accommodation, the Board made an order to give out of the amount assigned to students 15 rubles each for an apartment, and 35 rubles for food; and make clothes from the rest of the money from the Board. Meanwhile, in order to establish a common residence, an assumption was made to build a house at the Seminary, which has already been presented in order. But the place I examined, proposed for this building, is not entirely advantageous because it is somewhat remote from the classrooms, and will have to force students to go to warm classrooms in warm clothes in winter. If the residence house is connected to the classrooms, then there will be benefits for the economy and benefits for morality, because the students will be closer to the supervision of the Inspector, whose rooms are located in the same house with the classrooms. The current Seminary house houses classrooms, a Rector, an Inspector and two Professors. When the upper part of it is finished, then the rest of the Professors can fit in, who, however, do not need apartments now, living with relatives. Most of the house still has bare brick walls and requires finishing. In the journal of the Seminary Board I have repeatedly found demands from the Consistory, and decisions on the dismissal of students; and found out that these were students nominated for expulsion for the exam that had taken place during the examination of the Seminary, who remained in the Seminary before being appointed to their places. Finding this custom both undefined in the Seminary Charter, which by paragraph 173 allows those expelled who are not seeking places, but only those who wish to continue their studies, to remain in the Seminary, and even then privately until testing, and is burdensome for the writing profession, and does not agree with the benefit of the school, because the mixing of infected members with healthy ones can have a harmful effect on the latter, and because the behavior of students designated for exclusion can expose criticism of the school, - I have the honor to submit for consideration of the Commission of Theological Schools whether it would be appropriate to make, in order to avert any bewilderment, a general order for the immediate and cumulative sending of expelled students to the Consistory, although, however, this is already being done as a rule at the St. Petersburg Seminary. What other comments have I made regarding the Tver Seminary Board, the Commission of Theological Schools deigns to see from the attached extract from the journal. The general order of writing is carefully preserved. The Seminarskaya Library, as one could notice during a short inspection, is mediocre. It is kept under the cathedral bell tower 126, in a small place, not close to the Seminary. A new catalog of books on the classification of the Charter has been prepared, but once the Charter is amended, it must be redone. The librarian is the former district teacher Vasily Vereshchagin: I made it my duty to bring this to the attention of the Commission of Theological Schools because, according to the provisions of the Commission of Theological Schools, the position of Librarian was to be combined with the Professor’s, and did not require a special person. The seminary has a choir of singers, composed of seminarians and students of lower schools, and directed by two of the students, for the encouragement of which the Rector gives 75 rubles from his salary. I have not noticed any omissions from this institution in the Seminary, and in this case it serves, in my opinion, as a useful and enjoyable activity for the students’ free time, and as a decoration for the Seminary. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 22. June 23, 1815 The following journal was attached to this report: June 21st day, 1815. As a result of the inspection of the district and parish schools, Vyshnevolotsk and Novotorzh, the Tver seminary board was asked from the observer: 1) About the actual inspection of the above-mentioned schools, with the attachment of lists from the journals made about it, as a notice, and on the discussion of who should be entrusted with the final test in these schools, which the observer, due to his haste, was completely unable to carry out. 2) About the instructions of the seminary board, found in schools, signed by one member of the board without a paper clip. 3) About the deduction of thirds of the amount remaining from the maintenance of the students in the Vyshnevolotsk district school, with a demand for an explanation on what basis this is being done, when the amount remaining from one third could become necessary for the student in another, and could be used in his favor, if only it did not exceed a certain amount per year; and where such residual amount is credited. 4) About the subscription to the instructions of the seminary board, seen in schools, of the same person, first as a secretary, and then as a secretary. The review of the Tver seminary itself began with a test of the literature class, which lasted from ten o'clock in the morning until twelve. It took place in Latin and Russian, with questions from the teacher and reviewer, and brief experiences of oral oratory required from students on given proposals. From three o'clock in the afternoon to half past four, the test was in the languages ​​of Hebrew, French and German. While the students from the separate classes of the three languages ​​were moving into the general Greek class, the seminary house was inspected, and in particular the place where the seminary board intended to build a building for the general residence of the students. At the sixth hour there was a test in Greek. At seven o'clock the seminary library was inspected. The ninth and tenth hours were spent examining the seminary's writing department. From eight o'clock in the morning and half to twelve, the test was in the theological and philosophical sciences. From two in the afternoon to four there was a test in the historical and mathematical-physical sciences. Based on the consideration of the essays written by students of each department, on the previous days of the seminary review, for the subjects assigned, and based on the merits of these essays, the certificates given by the professors about the students, and the comments made during the oral test, rank lists of students were compiled, in agreement with the reviewer and members of the seminary board. No. 17. It was proposed to the seminary board to consider these orders as preliminary, because there is still some study time left, after which there should be a public examination: it is also provided to the board, if it deems it necessary, according to circumstances that may open up, to make any change in the rank lists, to communicate about this with the reviewer on his return journey, why until now and not to present the lists to his Eminence. Therefore, as a result of the information received from the seminary board on the proposals indicated above under numbers 2, 3 and 4, and as a result of the completed inspection of the seminary affairs, it was proposed to the seminary board: No. 18. 1) So that from the salary of students, except in the case of a vacancy, there is no deduction of balances by thirds, since money not spent on food in one third of the year may be needed for clothing in the next; and do this only at the end of the year; and the deduction should be added to the total balance of Bursat funds, with an explanation in the reports. No. 19. 2) So that the board instills in candidate Grechishchev, who is in the position of secretary, (whose original explanation was returned) that he should not be alternately registered as a secretary, then in the position of secretary; for this is disorderly and that if, as he writes in the explanation, he was appointed to correct the position of secretary, which expression seemed vague to him, then he should not have arbitrarily assumed the title of secretary, but asked for permission from the board. Moreover, so that the board, both based on this and other emerging signs of malfunction or inattention to the position of the secretary in office, who does not sign some of the board’s instructions, and does not sign journals under every article, as members of the board do, enter into consideration whether he can, for the benefit of the seminary office, remain in office and would report the following to the academic board. No. 20. 3) So that the arrangement of the book of seminary expenses, clearly divided according to the order it was before the amendment of the statutes, was, for the next year, more precisely in the reporting form attached to the amended statutes, for convenience in verification and preparation of the report. No. 21. 4) So that the board, if the senior candidate Protopopov, according to his observations, has always been good in his position, since he has shown himself to be a skillful and thorough mentor during the test, recommends him to the academy for production, on offer of a master's degree 127. June 26. Report from the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Tver Theological School, which he had reviewed Archimandrite Philaret, dated June 26, 1815, No. 23, wrote: A report to the Commission of Theological Schools from the Rector Archimandrite Philaret. I have the honor to present an extract from the journal of the Tver District School, about the brief inspection of this and the associated Parish School. It shows in which subjects the students were tested and what their answers were. Despite the brevity of the review with the certificate, one can testify that the School is in order and perfection. The school house is neat inside and out. Only the students' living rooms are very full. To distribute the bursa, Father Archimandrite Rector 128 proposes (but is not yet decisive) to separate part of the monastery building. This assumption is somewhat complicated by the fact that this building is in one connection with the cells of the Rector and near the cathedral. There is also room for an extension to the school house. The Seminary Board has a final position on this. Although this review was not on the day of my departure from Tver, this report was not prepared on the spot because the compilation of rank lists for the Seminary and the report on its status to the Commission of Theological Schools took a lot of time, and it was already necessary to hurry to reach Yaroslavl at the appointed time. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 23. June 26 days, 1815 Attached to this is the following journal: June 22 days, 1815. At five o'clock in the afternoon there was a brief review of the Tver district and parish schools. At the parish school, some students were tested in Russian grammar. In the lower department of the district school, the test was in Greek and Latin languages ​​and arithmetic. In the higher department in the same languages, sacred history and geography. The students' answers were mostly satisfactory. Then the rooms of the students’ collective residence were inspected. The production of the final test is left to a specific time and local authorities. Tver religious schools rector Otrochevsky Archimandrite Feoktist. No. 34. 129 June 27. Report from the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Kashinsky theological school, which he had reviewed Archimandrite Philaret, dated June 27, 1815, No. 24, wrote: Driving through Kashin in the evening, I could not see the students of the local schools: and until the next morning I did not have free time to stay in this place, hastening to the most important parts of the assignment given to me. Why did I decide to see what could be seen at this time? At a dilapidated wooden building, the roof of which was overgrown with moss, I, having arrived with the Caretaker, found six teachers: and I had to conclude that this was a school house. From the dark vestibule, on one side is the entrance to a small room that is not in use, and on the other, to the training room of the lower department of the District School. Instead of tables and benches, on both sides of the narrow road left for the teacher, a kind of cages or frames were made in which the students should sit. Some boards, on which books and writing paper should be placed, are no more than a quarter wide, and do not have a plane, but humps, because they are worn out and cut from long-time use. 77 students are now housed in these cramped cages to listen to lessons. The stuffiness, as they say, can be so great that in winter it is necessary to open the windows for fresh air. The room for the higher department is even smaller: but it can accommodate 45 students, and therefore patient teachers complain less about it. In the same connection with the building is the dwelling of the senior teacher, Hieromonk Augustine. Along a dark path we came to an invisible door, through the opening of which we saw a closet, in which there was the smallest window, and, it seems, as much free space as was occupied by the bed standing there. But a few days before this, the departure of the last hieromonk from the monastery provided the teacher with a small room with a decent window. Other teachers live in apartments. Since the Warden and I came here on foot, the visit to the study rooms of the Parish School, which, in a rented house, is located a considerable distance from the District School, has been postponed. The superintendent said that each class, of which there are 87 students in the highest and 119 in the lowest, is housed, due to the cramped rooms, in two: it is difficult to understand how one teacher is divided into them. The Kashin merchant Alexander Yakovlev Terlikov, who is now restoring the church in the monastery, expresses a desire to provide some assistance in building a house for the school, but combines with this the desire to build a church at the school, which for a poor monastery, which already has cold and warm stone churches, will hardly be an ornament only, and not more so a burden. I left it to the Overseer to explain in more detail to G. Terlikov and to bring the matter to the attention of his superiors. Because the school has existed in Kashin for a long time; and since there are currently more than 300 students in both schools, the existence of these schools cannot be considered unnecessary. And in order to continue their existence, they require the merciful attention of their superiors. During the course of the course, the Overseer himself revealed to me that the class of general history was still going on. He promised to separate this subject with the beginning of the next training course: but, perhaps, it would not be superfluous to confirm this to him with an instruction. In writing, the Overseer lags behind the flow of affairs. He only has a rough notebook of this year’s incoming affairs, because, he says, he did not receive a corded book from the Seminary Board (which the amended charter does not require, but he received an economic corded book). Therefore, the journal from which the list is presented here is made by me at the end of the book of incoming affairs of the past year. Instead of a book about the successes of his students, he has a note about this subject in the book of incoming cases. The advice necessary for the current circumstances was given to him. And this report is not from the place, but from the path, according to the speed of departure. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 24, June 27 days, 1815 Attached to this report is a copy of the following journal. June 24 days, 1815. In the evening, the rooms where the Kashin district school is located were inspected. Moreover, there were teachers from district and parish schools, but there were no students because there were non-school hours. School writing was also examined. Superintendent of the schools, Archpriest Alexey Bolotov 130. June 27. Report from the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Uglich theological school, which he audited The rector, Archimandrite Filaret, dated June 27, 1815, No. 25, reported the following to the commission of theological schools. About a brief inspection of the Uglich Parish School, I have the honor to present a list from the journal of the Commission of Theological Schools made on the spot. Although the school has only existed for six months since its new formation, there are students who are already successful in Russian Grammar, from those who entered the school that was here before. There are 97 students in both classes. The study rooms are located under the bell tower of the former Resurrection Monastery, turned into a parish church. The upper class is reached by a narrow, stone, bell-towered staircase, but the room corresponds to its purpose, just not whitewashed. Lower class below. There is also a spacious empty room assigned to the school by resolution of the Diocesan Bishop, in which it was supposed to set up both classes and convert the current ones for residence, but the clerk, who received 60 rubles for it, wants to keep it for himself. There remains an even larger idle room below, which can be prepared for habitation. However, the proposed alteration, which will consist of new ceilings, floors, some windows and a roof, will probably cost up to 3,000 rubles, and the entire building is old, and there are cracks along the vaults, which raise doubts that can only be resolved by an Architect. There is another suggestion: to buy a stone house with a courtyard to establish a District School in it along with a Parish School. They demand 9,000 rubles for it. But he was a regular, and will also require alterations. Bringing to light some hitherto obscure circumstances should decide the choice between these two assumptions. The notebooks of incoming and outgoing cases are still in black here, and their composition is not quite intelligible. The necessary explanations have been given. And this report is not from the place, but from the path. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 25. June 27, 1815 Attached to this report was the following journal on June 25, 1815, in the morning the classrooms of the district parish school were inspected. A high-class teacher was in the classroom at the time; and the lower class teacher was in a clergy position. Upon returning from school, school writing was reviewed. The caretaker of the parish school, cathedral priest Andrey. No. 21 131. June 28. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the Commission of Theological Schools, on the state of the Yaroslavl Theological School, which he revised The rector, Archimandrite Philaret, dated June 28, 1815, No. 45, reported the following to the commission of theological schools: Report to the Commission of Theological Schools from Rector Archimandrite Philaret. Having reached Yaroslavl on the 26th day of this June, at 5 o’clock in the morning, I entered the classes of the local District and Parish Schools before the Seminary Schools, because in the former, daytime school hours begin earlier, that is, at seven o’clock. This inspection lasted an hour and a half, and the school writing was examined in the evening after the inspection of the classes and the house of the Seminary, as the Commission of Theological Schools was pleased to see in the attached extract from the journal of the District School. Progress in the Greek language, according to the news of this class, is not great, so that even in the higher department they barely extend beyond etymology. Progress in the Latin language is not meager, especially in the present tense, which is half of the curriculum. Sacred History and Geography are just emerging at the School. For the latter, benefits are not yet sufficient. It is advised to hurry and ask your superiors for them. However, there are quite a few capable students. The power of the school order is visible in them. Only their excessive number cannot but prevent teachers from faithfully supervising their diligence and the development of their abilities. Already now one teacher of the District School has from two to three hundred students: what will happen after the vacancy period, when transfers will be made from the five Parish Schools? Already now the student at one end of the classroom does not see or hear what the teacher is doing and saying at the other end; because the room is made of two connected by an arch, and then it will almost be necessary to look for another even larger room. The establishment of another District School in the Diocese is necessary. I will make it my duty to present information about the current state of poor students in the lower Yaroslavl Schools to the Commission of Theological Schools, along with similar information about the students of the Seminary, when I receive the testimony requested from the Board. The Schools are located in the lower floor of the Seminary House, which will also be generally mentioned in the report on the Seminary. School writing is constantly being corrected, although some forms have not yet been understood, as, for example, in the outgoing book, instead of the corresponding number of the incoming book, without any benefit or meaning, the number of the received paper is put, by which it was designated in its place in the outgoing book. A useless general register of all incoming and outgoing papers was also found, which was kept instead of the prescribed inventory of matters. I have never found this inventory in other schools. This report is from Kostroma. Rector Archimandrite Philaret, No. 45, June 28, 1815 Attached to the report is a copy of an extract from the journal of the Yaroslavl district school, dated June 26, 1815. From seven o'clock in the morning until half past eight there was an inspection of the classes of the district and parish schools in Yaroslavl. In addition to the rectors of the seminary and school, among the teachers there was also a teacher and inspector of Bogoslovsky of the lower Latin class and teachers of those subjects whose teaching hours this time happened. There was a short test in the parish school, in the catechism and Russian grammar, in the district school in Greek and Latin, sacred history and geography. At eight o'clock in the evening the school's writing department was inspected. Rector of the Tolga district school, Archimandrite Apollos, No. 58 132. June 30. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philiret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Yaroslavl Theological Seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, dated June 30, 1815, No. 46, reported to the commissions of theological schools: Due to repeated delays on the way, which did not depend on me, having reached Yaroslavl no earlier than the 26th day of this June, I was at a loss, considering the shortness of time remaining before the deadline appointed by the Commission of Theological Schools for my arrival at the Moscow Academy, with what I had to accomplish even before that time. It was necessary to decide either to leave some of the Seminaries designated for review without review, in order to more thoroughly understand the state of the Yaroslavl Seminary, or to try to review all the designated Seminaries, and for this purpose to reduce the time of review of each. I decided on the latter because it was possible to shorten the review of each Seminary, but it was necessary to review a larger number of Seminaries. On the one hand, it was possible to shorten the review of each Seminary: since now in the Seminaries of the Moscow district it is not the end, but the middle of the educational course, and, consequently, it is enough for the observer to make the test of the students brief in order to notice only the state of each class in general, and the way the lessons are taught, and not the degree of success of each student separately. On the other hand, it was necessary to survey as many Seminaries as possible in order for the new course of affairs to be better marked by the rapid removal of difficulties, the resolution of perplexities, and the encouragement of activity. Due to these circumstances, I spent one day inspecting the classes and houses of the Yaroslavl Seminary, and part of the night and the next morning in inspecting the Seminary writing department. The classes of the Yaroslavl Seminary are in order, except for the classes of Literature and General History, which turned out to be weaker than the others and especially required advice from the teacher on correcting the teaching method. The oversights made by the students seemed so significant that, in addition to the verbal comments made to him, I found it necessary to give the Seminary Board a proposal about this, as the Commission of Theological Schools is pleased to see in the attached extract from the Seminarsky journal. In the Theological and Philosophical Sciences, some students distinguished themselves both in their knowledge and in their fluent use of the Latin language. The Seminary House is not small, and, with the introduction of the Seminary from the Tolgsky Monastery into it, it was repaired inside and out. The large number of students from the District and Parish schools occupying the lower floor makes it somewhat crowded. There are not enough dining rooms for both the Seminary and the Colleges; and the table is set in the study rooms, which of course is not without difficulty. In the same connection with the Seminary House, under the same roof, and in the same exact building form, there is the Consistory, and then the living rooms of the students. It is strange to see that in one complete building the part occupied by schools and the other occupied by teachers are again whitewashed, and between them a small part of the building, of which there is no limit, occupied by the Consistory, remains unrestored. In the schools they say that the entire building was built either with the Seminary, or with a mixed amount, only for the benefit of the Seminary; but this right of the Seminary does not seem to be recognized by the current House of Bishops. Information about this is either impossible, because previously much was done without formal writing, or it is difficult, because the old Seminar Archive is buried, as they say, in the Consistory Archive. Be that as it may, in the current circumstances, the Diocesan Authority would do the Seminary a favor if it removed the Consistory from the connection of the seminary institutions. This is not difficult to do because the Consistory, apparently, can be placed with particular convenience in another building, closest to the entrance of the entire Monastery, belonging to the Bishop's House, where now the Rector's rooms are at the top, the other rooms are empty, and the bottom is hardly occupied with anything necessary; In this case, the rector should take rooms in the Seminarsky building. Through this move the Seminary would gain several rooms that it needs; in the maintenance of the roof and the external neatness of the building, the Seminary economy would not meet with the Consistory economy; the Seminary house would have received a separate integrity so that it would have had a special courtyard, and if the Seminary, in accordance with the charter, had appointed a gatekeeper, he would not have stopped the Consistory petitioners. The Seminary also lacks a meeting hall: on the contrary, there is a spacious hall separate from the main connection of the Seminary building, abandoned due to a leak and damage to one wall. The Seminary Board intends to make an experiment to correct this latter: if the experiment is quite successful, then there will be a meeting hall here; even if it is not entirely successful, at least a common dining hall for seminarians and students of lower schools can be arranged here, which does not require so much splendor. The meeting hall, although, due to the large number of people in the Seminary, is not without crowding, can serve as the Theological study room. However, I make it my duty to again especially inform the Commission of Theological Schools about the state of the Seminary economy and writing when I receive answers from the Seminary Board to several proposals given to it. For, due to the necessary speed of my departure from Yaroslavl, I had to agree that the information I required would be delivered to me via mail when I was at the Moscow Academy. The Seminary Library is not important in terms of theological sciences: but it is worthy of attention in terms of writers related to classical literature. The collection of Russian books is generally good. A new catalog of books has been made, which is arranged quite systematically, however, not according to the classification of the charter. I had the intention of seeing the former place of the Seminary in the Tolga Monastery: but the evening departure from Yaroslavl, which I could neither manage nor postpone until the next morning, made its implementation impossible. This is a report from Kostroma. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 46. June 30, 1815 Attached to the report is a copy of the following journal, which reads: “Certified. Archbishop Anthony. June 27, 1815." June 26th day, 1815. In the morning at three quarters of ten o'clock the review of the Yaroslavl seminary began with a test in theological sciences, namely in interpretative and dogmatic theology. It lasted an hour and a quarter. Then the same amount of time was spent on testing in the class of philosophical sciences, in metaphysics. In the afternoon, at two and three quarters, the test of the lower department of the seminary began in its own subjects: literature and general history, which test lasted an hour and a half. After this there was a test in other subjects of seminary teaching, and lasted up to six hours. At the same time, students of the higher department are destined for the St. Petersburg Academy: Pavel Sokolov, Dmitry Popov, Ivan Nikolaevsky. At seven o'clock the following were inspected: the library, the living rooms of the students of the seminary and both schools, and other parts of the school house. At eight o'clock in the evening the examination of the affairs of the seminary board began. As a result, the seminary board was asked to: No. 26. 1) Provide information about why the journal of the board from September last year to the end of that year appeared only yesterday without indicating the time and number of cases, and its resolutions were not signed by anyone. No. 27. 2) Give information why, at the proposal of His Eminence, dated September 21st, on the analysis of seminary students according to the degree of their poverty and on the appointment of those worthy for government maintenance, the executive representation of the board was made not before the 18th of January of this 1815. No. 28. 3) Provide information, at the suggestion of the diocesan bishop, about the acceptance of the seminary property and whether the amounts have been fulfilled, which is not noted under the inventory of things and is not visible anywhere. No. 29. 4) For clarity, divide the book of seminary expenses for the next year into articles in accordance with the form of the report attached to the charter. No. 30. 5) The amounts received for district and parish schools, as not belonging to the seminary, should not be entered into the book of receipts and expenditures, but for those temporarily included in the board and the amounts also coming from it, a special notebook should be kept. No. 31. 6) From article 3 of the board’s journal, January 30 of this year, give the reviewer a list. No. 32. 7) Provide information why in article 22 of the board’s journal, according to the economist’s note on the repair of the Yaroslavl seminary house, the board decided only to begin bidding, and in the files with the economist’s note there is a submission on this subject to the diocesan Eminence about requesting the required amount from the commission of theological schools with an estimate attached: also, what followed in this case further, what was done renovation of the house, for what amount, and where it was borrowed from. No. 33. 8) Combine the papers related to one case in order along with an extract of the decisions given on them, which was not found in the case of house correction. No. 34. 9) When compiling reports, the amounts received in the parish are not meant as a total amount, but in parts assigned to special items, and one part should not be mixed with another, which was not observed in the reviewed report for the past year. No. 35. 10) When assigning important sums for expenditure under paragraph 3 of the seminary charter, seek the permission of the diocesan bishop, which is not visible in articles 27 and 28 of the journal of the board of February 20 and in some others. On the same basis, act in the case of appointing persons in the diocesan service to school positions, which is also omitted in Article 16 of the journal of the board on January 9. No. 36. 11) Do not give the seminar economist three times in one day 100 rubles for petty expenses, as required by Articles 25, 26 and 27 of the board’s journal on March 26; for this would also mean the same thing as suddenly giving out three hundred rubles for petty expenses, which is contrary to the statute; if suddenly an amount exceeding one hundred rubles is required for various needs, then demand from the economist the designation of the items for which it is required, and then assign it after consideration. No. 37. 12) Professor Dyakonov, whose opinion that he does not consider it necessary to give sermons, is recorded in article 29 on May 1, calling on the board to read to him the 172nd paragraph of the academic charter: and to give information about the Yaroslavl censorship mentioned in the same article and whether the works of students in the seminary are submitted to this censorship, or for review and correction by the rector and the decision of the Most Reverend, to give information. No. 38. 13) Provide information about the students of the secondary department Burmaninsky and Oshanin, who, by article 13 of the board’s journal on May 15, were appointed teachers of partes singing at the district school, whether this new position distracts them from the seminary. No. 39. 14) Give the reviewer a list from article 14 of the board’s journal on May 15. No. 40. 15) To explain to Professor Nenarokomov that his demand for one incomplete copy of Shrek’s history, recorded in article 9 of the board’s journal on May 29, is untimely and inconsistent with the needs of the class for which this book was assigned by the authorities; that he should not have burdened his students with his verbose historical notes, but should have used a more methodical approach in teaching history rather than a detailed story; and in literature he should have undertaken less and more faithfully carried out what he had undertaken. No. 41. 16) Provide information about what execution and decision followed under Article 6 of the board’s journal on June 5. No. 42. 17) In addition to this, provide the observer with a list showing how many students of the seminary and both local schools are supported by the state, full or part-time, from where the amount is borrowed for the maintenance of students of lower schools, and how many then remain on their own support. No. 43. 18) Keep the open test before vaccination time, despite the present review, as usual. No. 44. 19) Do not delay in fulfilling paragraph 465 of the academic charter: what considerations the board will have according to the proposals of the reviewer, let them know with extracts from the journal, either now, or if this is impossible, by the 5th of next July, and in this latter case, send the above-mentioned extracts to Sergievsky Posad by that day. The consideration of seminar writing, of necessity, continued for the 27th day. The rector of the seminary is Archimandrite Feofan. The seminary inspector is Avksentiy Martynov. Hieromonk Konstantin holds the position of housekeeper. The ruling position of secretary is teacher Konstantin Meloslavov 133. July 1st. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Kostroma Theological Seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, dated July 1, 1815, No. 50, reported to the commission of theological schools: On the procedure for reviewing the Kostroma Seminary, I present an extract from the journal of the Seminary Board, at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. And having finished the matter itself, I hurried with my departure to further places of my destination: and therefore I am writing this report on the way, and I will not send it before, as from Vladimir. The educational part of the Kostroma Seminary is generally well-equipped. In the class of theological sciences, lessons were taught with particular thoroughness and received with particular fidelity. In Church History, in time, satisfactory progress has been made. In the study of the Philosophical sciences, as a matter of reason, an excessive participation of memory has been noticed: this is why the professor is advised not always to only present the lessons himself, but often to force students to explore the truth under his guidance, in compliance with a clear logical form. Language Arts is taught carefully and students are firm in its rules. In general history, there is enough knowledge, but not enough methods, about which the necessary advice is also given to the teacher. The Latin language is in common use in this Seminary. There are also successful ones in Jewish. The rules of the charter related to moral management are observed by the Kostroma Seminary Board. The economic part is still being settled, both in relation to the new rules and in relation to the new location of the Seminary, which was previously located outside the city, but after a fire happened in the house there, it was transferred to the city to the Epiphany Monastery. How many students, and to what extent, enjoy state support, I present the note requested from the Board, B. Their number could not be large, partly because a considerable amount of the regular amount had to be used, after moving the Seminary, to repair the buildings occupied by it in the monastery, and other one-time costs under the new situation (such as, for example, 100 iron beds were made), partly because even now there are not enough rooms to accommodate a larger number state-owned. The teaching and living rooms, occupied by teachers and students, correspond to their purpose, although not one contains connections. Only educational ones require some renewal. In order to accommodate a larger number of state-owned funds, it is necessary to clear the rooms located in the same connection with the Seminary rooms, and occupied by the Archive of the Provincial Board, for the benefit of the Seminary. On the one hand, it is strange that, after the government offices were removed from the monastery, this archive remains here, far from its official place. On the other hand, such a neighborhood is troublesome for the Seminary. They say (although the case has not been investigated) that, unknown by whom, an attempt was made to set fire to the provincial archives. The Seminary is completely lacking in meeting rooms. It is proposed either to build it in one monastery tower, or to build it again on the spot, and from the material of a dilapidated building located near the current Seminary building. In this last case, in the lower floor under the hall you can arrange more rooms for government employees. Fulfilling one or another assumption requires a significant, but necessary, cost. There is no Seminarskaya hospital either: but the local authorities do not find it convenient to arrange it; both due to the lack of a doctor, for city doctors are very busy, and due to the limited amount allocated by the state for the hospital. Due to these circumstances, it has hitherto been, and will continue to be, the practice of sending sick students to the city hospital with payment for treatment. The Seminar Library is located outside the city, in the former location of the Seminary, at a distance of about three miles from the present one. But now a convenient and safe place has been found for her in the monastery where the Seminary is located, above one church. This library is not big. There are necessary books related to the Theological Sciences. There are quite a few Russian books, in comparison with other Spiritual Libraries. It is a pity that the number of theatrical and novel books is large. The local authorities would like to exchange them for the most needed ones: but, unfortunately, they are stamped with the name of the giver. What proposals I gave to the Kostroma Seminary Board, the Commission of Theological Schools deigns to see in the attached extract from the journal. It is my duty to explain one of them, related to the economic report. I proposed to make one report, and not two, both because this is necessarily determined by the form attached to the charter, where the established column for extraordinary amounts can, without confusion, accommodate any amount, and excludes any extraneous report: and because experience itself already required the mentioned proposal. For the second report, previously made by the Seminary Board on the so-called economic sums, and considered as if at home, was the reason that more than 10,000 rubles of the previously collected, economic Seminary sum, intended to benefit the needs of the Seminary through interest, as far as I know, were not at all in the mind of the Commission of Theological Schools. However, the affairs of the Seminary Board proceed without delay or lapse. The Board owes a lot to the Diocesan Bishop, whose suggestions often give him direction. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 50. July 1, 1815 The following documents are attached to this report; on them there is a mark: “I testify to Sergius, Bishop of Kostroma and Galich.” June 28, 1815. The review of the Kostroma seminary began in the afternoon at two o'clock and three quarters. The test in hermeneutics and dogmatic theology continued for an hour and a quarter. The test in logic and the first two parts of metaphysics continued for an hour. The test in rhetoric continued for an hour with brief oral experiments in oratory in Russian, and partly in Latin. The test in universal history lasted for half an hour. Then the seminary buildings, rooms of teachers and students were inspected. At eight o'clock the examination of the seminar's writing began. As a result, the board was asked to: 1) Do not attach any writs of execution to the journal of the board, as was done with the journal on December 11 of the previous year and with the journal on May 3 of the current year. 2) Do not compose, as was done last year, a special report, so called by the board of the economic amount, but show it in the general report, under the name of the extraordinary amount, with an explanation about it, where assigned. 3) Do not prohibit the annual graduation of students from the parish school, which, apparently, the board wanted to do by dark resolution 16 of Article 19 of June: for such graduation is clearly defined in the charter of the parish school § 35. At seven and eight o'clock in the evening the seminary library was inspected. During the morning school hours, it remained to inspect the classes of church history, mathematics and languages.

Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the state of the Kostroma Theological School, which he revised Rector Archimandrite Philaret, dated July 2, 1815, No. 51, reports: I respectfully present the list from the journal about the inspection of the Kostroma District and Parish Schools at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. Among the classes of these schools, Higher Latin is distinguished. In both Greek classes, the etymology is not yet finished. Geography appears to be taught thoroughly, but recently. The location of the School in the Bishop's House, both in terms of its location in the city and its capacity, is advantageous. The classrooms are sufficient for the current number of students. It is planned to furnish two rooms for the bursa in the same house. They will accommodate about 20 students. Finding the place advantageous, I advised making the bursa more numerous; so that she can serve the whole Diocese, at least until it is convenient to arrange another: there are rooms, and the authorities agree. I found all parts of school writing at these recently established schools in such good order that many senior schools cannot compare with. There is also a book of student success and behavior; and the inventory of affairs to compile a decent archive follows the affairs themselves. This report is from Vladimir. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 51, July 2. 1815 A copy of the following journal was attached to the report: On June 29, 1815, at four o’clock in the afternoon, the Kostroma district school and the parish school attached to it were inspected. In the higher department, several students are tested briefly in sacred history and geography; and in both branches, in the Latin and Greek languages. In the upper class of the parish school, several questions were asked on Russian grammar. Then we looked at the rooms proposed for the establishment of the bursa. Finally, school writing is also attested, in which precise serviceability is seen. Rector sacristan priest John Krasovsky. Outgoing number 48 137. July 6. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Vladimir seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, in a report dated July 6, 1815, No. 63, wrote: Regarding the procedure for reviewing the Vladimir Seminary, I most respectfully present an extract from its journal at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. This seminary, in comparison with others I have seen, is at a lower level of improvement, due to various unfavorable circumstances. During a test in Theological Sciences, I learned that all students in this class have one copy of the Holy Scriptures. But even that time was not in the class. The students instead had notebooks in which the texts found in their lessons were written out: but this fragmentary knowledge of the Word of God in many test cases turned out to be insufficient. Regarding Hermeneutics, there was a lack of a textbook approved by the Commission of Theological Schools. She was replaced by another, but of lower dignity. In some subjects, students remained in dark concepts. The test in Dogmatics was more satisfactory. It has been noticed that many students are not free to use the Latin language: either because of a lack of preliminary preparation, or because the current Professor did not insist on this quite enough. The class of Philosophical Sciences showed several experiments in correct and solid knowledge of the rudiments of Philosophy. The Literature class is crowded and diverse, as it is made up of several classes from the former Seminary. The successes of the best students correspond to the present time, which is the middle of the course. There are quite a few who are weak and unreliable, from whom the local authorities are advised to free the student through expulsion. It is only a pity that the exclusion of the unsuccessful, as they say, does not produce all the desired effects in the school: because some students of Rhetoric, seeing the excluded entering directly into priestly positions, fall into the temptation to seek expulsion from the Seminary. This proves how necessary the correct application of § 42 of the Rules for the Education of Schools and Seminaries is. In the Church History class, the students' progress is satisfactory. In the class of General History, an almost common deficiency is noticed here too - the vastness of the narratives and the abundance of writing. However, the classic book has been written out: and the teacher promises to stick close to it. Math class seems to be ok. The Greek language class is not rich in success: because before the transformation of the Seminary, many even of the students of Theology did not study it at all. The Hebrew class is still occupied with the first rudiments of Grammar: since the teacher of this class is also a teacher of German; and both classes have a schedule Only school hours, which, due to a misunderstanding, had not been distributed before, and thus in the Jewish class we gave one lesson a week. This has now been corrected by the proposal given to the Seminary Board. French class is ok. Vladimir Seminary has three libraries. The so-called Vladimir library is located in a low, cramped and dark room under the bell tower of the church, located at the Bishop's House. Not big and not important. The Library of the Most Reverend Theophylact 138 is located above the first in a room that is somewhat lighter and drier. It’s not great, but it seems to have been compiled with a good choice, as much as could be seen in a short time. The best theological books. The Suzdal Library is located in Suzdal. Not visible to observers. A proposal was given to the Board to put the first two, located near the Seminary, in order: since their inventories are disorderly. The local authorities are perplexed, should they combine all three libraries into one? The reviewer adds to this question, and submits to the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools, whether it would be favorable to allow the acquisition of these libraries so that the excess copies that are found are not included in the inventory, but are presented to the Commission of Theological Schools for exchange, if possible, with other libraries, to both sides’ benefit. When examining the affairs of the Seminary Board, the journal of the past year turned out to be combined into one with a book of incoming affairs, and its resolutions were not signed by anyone. However, it cannot be doubted because all resolutions were written by the hands of the Rector and the Inspector. This year's log is fine. Some perplexities regarding writing are resolved verbally. In the journal of the past year, under No. 190, the dismissal of students on the feast of R.H., dated December 21, is recorded, and paragraph 77 of the Seminary Charter assigned the 24th day for this. The members of the Board justify their decision by saying that the fathers of the students came to take the children at the previous time, and that the distance of their homes from the Seminary required an early dismissal, so that they would not be forced to spend the holiday on the road. Since these circumstances are not the essence of one place and time, I made it my duty to present them to the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. From the affairs of the Board, it is clear, by the way, that the moral part is not well organized. There are cases of drunkenness, fighting, theft, in which the Civil Government finds students. Their scattered residence prevents the Seminary Administration from discovering and correcting the wicked. The Seminary House conveniently houses the classes of the Seminary and both schools, and nothing more. There is a small, special, dilapidated, stone building, part of which is occupied by one of the teachers of the District School, and another by the Russian class that still exists here, and another small dwelling of another Teacher of the District School. The monastic officials of the Seminary and the Superintendent of the District School live not far from the Seminary House, at the Bishop's House. However, here the best rooms, which have long been occupied by the Rector of the Seminary, now remain with the former Rector 139. Secular Professors were placed several days before the arrival of the observer in a special house belonging to the Bishop, and until now they lived in apartments. Their current rooms, which are the upper wooden floor above the lower stone floor, are quite good. Two priests who teach languages ​​at the Seminary are left without government apartments: for their priestly places are not in the city. Each of them receives no more than 150 rubles from the priestly place. They do not dare, as they say, to appear at these places, so that those who administer their post, during their presence, do not make a deduction from this agreed amount. Probably happier than them is one priest who teaches at the District School, which takes place at the Vladimir Cathedral. since one of them receives a Seminar salary of 350 and the other 200 rubles, leaving them without encouragement may leave their places without successors. There is a great need for a school building to have a house for teachers and for the total residence of students. The Commission of Theological Schools knows that the Seminary Board intended to buy the neighboring wooden house and land for 7,000 rubles. But this house, except for one wing, is very dilapidated; is not suitable for its intended purpose and, according to the local authorities themselves, is not worth 3,000 rubles even with the land, unless you take into account the timber harvested with it, which is valued at up to 1,000 rubles. The current owner, of course noticing the need of the Seminary, demands at least 3,000 rubles in vain; The need of the Seminary here is one land, on free sale, hardly worth more than 1000 rubles. However, this need is important because the current Seminarskaya land is not very convenient for constructing a new building. And so, should one pay almost seven times the amount for land that would round out and spread the Seminary House? or undertake a building with some cramped conditions and irregular appearance on the current Seminar land? Or should we establish a collective residence for students in the existing school building, a large part of which is now lost in the hallways and staircases, and take the District and Parish schools to a completely different place? The Architect, time and attention of local authorities can lead to the resolution of these issues. There is no mention here of some items that are included in the attached extract and do not require further explanation: and about some I undertake to again report to the Commission of Theological Schools upon receipt of responses from the Vladimir Seminary Board to the proposals given to it. The certification of the discharge by the Diocesan Bishop, who left Vladimir before my arrival and did not return after my departure, although it was expected, I could not wait any longer, hastening to the date appointed by the Commission of Theological Schools to the Moscow Academy, from where I am writing this report. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 63. July 6, 1815 Attached to the report is a copy from the journal: July 2nd day, 1815. At nine o'clock in the morning the survey of the Vladimir seminary began. The test in hermeneutics and dogmatics continued for an hour and a quarter. Half an hour in church history. An hour in logic and psychology. A quarter of an hour in mathematics. The test resumed at two o'clock in the afternoon. An hour and a half was spent on testing in rhetoric, with oral experiments in oratory. Half an hour for a test in universal history. The language test lasted less than an hour. At six o'clock the seminary library was inspected. At seven o'clock the examination of the school's writing began, which continued until the end of the day. It was proposed to the seminary board: 1) Arrange the teaching hours of the Hebrew and German languages, which are taught by one teacher, so that he gives lessons in one of the said languages at 3 and 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and in the other at 5 and 6 o’clock, and, accordingly, the students of these languages would converge and diverge: without which progress in the Hebrew language would be slow. 2) Let the observer know what order was made by the board regarding the students expelled during the transformation of the seminary: since this was not noted in the cases seen. 3) Do not subordinate the elders appointed in the seminary according to the charter to elders whom the charter does not know, but maintain in due importance the title prescribed by the charter, assigning it to the students who are the first in success and the best in good behavior: if many persons are needed for supervision, then appoint one or several senior assistants under the supervision of the elders. 4) Give the reviewer a list of the 12th article of the journal on March 18 of this year. 5) Do not call seminary students students, except for those who will be awarded this title according to the rank lists, in accordance with the charter. 6) Give an explanation to the observer why there are so many cases of exclusion of students from school lists according to consistory reports, such as the board’s journal on February 11, articles: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; April 3rd day, articles: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; April 10th day, articles: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; and whether the consistory determines exclusion from the school lists, or the seminary board, and why not at the same time as prescribed by the charter. 7) Give the reviewer a list from the 13th art. magazine, April 28th day, and what further information on the case contained therein should have been given. 8) Give a list from the 1st article of the magazine on March 13th. 9) Start compiling a catalog of library books according to the new classification. 10) Keep the open test, despite the present review of the seminary, as usual. 11) Do not delay in fulfilling paragraph 465 of the academic charter: what kind of reasoning will the board have on the proposals given to it, notify the reviewer with extracts from the journal, if not now, then by half of this month, and in the latter case, deliver them to Moscow, to the Donskoy Monastery, where at that time they can be accepted according to their affiliation. Seminary rector, Archimandrite Joseph. Seminary inspector, Abbot Joseph. Seminary Economy, Hieromonk Nikodim 140. This extract from the journal was not certified by His Eminence, due to his absence from Vladimir. Secretary candidate Alexey Ilyinsky, No. 256. July 3, 1815 141. July 6. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy of Archimandrite Philiret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Vladimir theological school revised by him Archimandrite Philaret, dated July 6, 1815, No. 64, wrote in a report: I most respectfully present an extract from the journal of the Vladimir District School, about the inspection of this and the Parish School located with it, to A. The Latin classes here are in order, and the Greek classes are in the rudiments. There is no classic book on Sacred History yet. The students retell some patriarchal incidents only in rural language. Basic concepts about Geography are given through notes. However, these lessons are firmly accepted by some students. The Catechism, apparently, was not taught, but only learned by heart. From the school writing department, as an example, I present here an extract requested from the superintendent. V. It is clear from it that a student expelled from the Seminary is recorded in the journal of the District School, to which he also does not belong; - that a student for a reprehensible relationship with a woman and drunkenness was punished by a classroom decree on his knees; - that for excluded students there are classes, and there is a teacher, and all this is under the supervision of the Superintendent of Schools; - that in some of these students, whose names are kept silent, self-will has already been noticed. As the Overseer mentions the resolution, albeit verbal, of the Diocesan Bishop: I did not make any comments about this whole matter at the school; but I submit it for the consideration of the Commission of Theological Schools, and in particular this question, would it not be more useful if expelled students were released under the supervision of parents and relatives, and there they learned reading and singing in the churches themselves, rather than when they exhaust them, living in apartments in the diocesan city; constitute a school that is not approved by the school regulations: and, under the inattentive supervision of the Superintendent of Schools, who, of course, will not leave the sheep to follow the goats, they get used to willfulness and vices, as the very journal of the Vladimir Supervisor says? Or, if not so, then shouldn’t the Russian class be given the correct structure? The Russian class I saw in Vladimir is a small room, without tables, with three benches, on which half of the students who were at that time could barely sit: and many more, they say, were not there. Few of those present had books. The Russian class shouted the Latin: salutamus. I thought that it was not appropriate to test him further before my instructions. There is no aggregate residence of students at the Vladimir District and Parish Schools. And some teachers live in apartments. On the contrary, a joint residence of District and Parish students in Suzdal has already been established. About 70 students now use this. For their maintenance, more than 2,500 rubles have been collected this year from willing spiritual donors, for the most part, and partly secular ones. Holding on to this long-established institution, the local authorities intend to have a permanent, central bursa in Suzdal, in the local Bishop's House. I can’t provide information about it because I couldn’t get it while driving through Suzdal in the evening and rushing to Vladimir in the morning. The enormous number of students in the Vladimir schools for teachers requires the establishment of similar ones in one or two more places. The best place, according to the local authorities, is Murom, and according to it Yuryev. Archimandrite Philaret. No. 64, July 6, 1815 Attached to this report are copies from two magazines: A. July 3 days, 1815. Classes at the district and parish schools in Vladimir were inspected. In the higher department of the district school there was a short test in the catechism, sacred history, geography and the languages ​​Latin and Greek; in the lowest department in the Latin language. In the upper class of the parish school in Russian grammar. Then I looked at school writing; and at the same time, the head of the school was asked to give a list of Article 214 of the journal of incoming affairs of the district school. The original journal is recorded in the included school affairs book, under No. 227. V. 1815, May 22, under No. 214, in the journal of the Vladimir district theological school it is written: the former student of lower rhetoric Vasily Sakulin, who did not enter the seminary, against whom on the 1st) 16th of this month the soldier Anna Petrova brought a complaint that he, Sakulin, took off her scarf, for which he, Sakulin, was detained under a two-day sentence arrest; who on the 2nd) 20th during the Divine Liturgy, in the home church of His Eminence, stood and sang seductively, for which he was punished according to the severity of the school; which is the 3rd) 21st, on the occasion of his reprehensible relationship, Sakulin, with the merchant's wife Anna Filosofova, the police chief, through the private Epimakhov, presented him, Sakulin, who was not very sober, for consideration by the spiritual authorities, punishing him by decree on his knees in the classroom, obliging him, Sakulin, to sign: 1st, change his remote Zalybetsky apartment to another closest to the school, without delay and in advance notifying the head of the schools about the name and condition of the owner of the new apartment; 2nd, every day he went to matins, liturgies and vespers in his Eminence’s home church and after each church service he appeared before the head of the schools; 3rd, never dropped a grade; 4th, he behaved both in class and outside the class honestly, under the fear of otherwise intolerance of him, Sakulin, in this spiritual class and beware of giving himself the slightest suspicion of bad connections, of shameful actions, firmly keeping in mind that his excuses for these cases have lost their value and that the real punishment was inflicted on him out of condescension and the hope of seeing him, Sakulin, correcting his behavior. Between that and Mr. teacher of the parish school, priest Stefan Znamensky, according to the words of His Eminence Xenophon, Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal and various orders of the Knight, appointed to teach reading and singing to all students who did not enter the seminary and theological schools, must have the strictest supervision over Sakulin and in general, which of these students will ever come to class without a fair reason, or will end up in the lessons is faulty, or is found to be doing anything worse, must report immediately to the head of the schools. For self-will has already been noticed in some: but out of the assurance that with this reminder they feel their mistakes, and make an internal promise to be more correct in the future, their names are kept silent. Caretaker, builder Hieromonk Arkady 142. No. 41 143. July 12. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the audit of the Moscow Theological Academy Rector of St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, dated July 12, 1815, No. 74, reported the following to the commission of theological schools: I reached the Moscow Theological Academy on the date appointed by the Commission of Theological Schools, that is, on the 5th day of this July: and the test, by order of the local authorities, began on the 6th day. The present report was sent from Moscow because not before my arrival here, the attached extract from the journal of the Academic Board could be certified by the Diocesan Bishop, after his unexpected departure from the Academy to Moscow on the occasion of the celebration 144. The test I saw of Academic students was open. A certain special kind of decency, usually preserved at this time, did not always allow me to give the test the kind that seemed to me most capable of revealing the true state of the students: however, I tried as much as possible to do this, so that what I had to convey to the authorities was not said by guesswork. In general, the Academy, judging by its recent existence, is in good condition. In the class of interpretative reading of Scripture, instead of one lesson per week, due to the diligence of the students, two were given. For this purpose, two hours a week were taken away from Philosophical lessons, which was a necessary relief for the teacher of Philosophy, who, with very poor health, and with many study hours, did not have an assistant. Read: with constant reading - the book of Genesis, and hasty reading - the other books of Moses. The lessons are accepted willingly and firmly retained. The answers of the students in the Philosophical class were not so free, although they were also thorough. In all likelihood, the lack of other sources of knowledge for Philosophical History, except for the student’s notes, and the news of a textbook for Dogmatic Philosophy, embarrassed students. It is advised to tie their memory less to study sheets, and to excite their minds more to their own activities. Lessons in the Literature class are taught through notes, however brief, and arranged in an orderly order. They are received freely, and held faithfully. The mathematical lessons, as far as the observer could judge, were taught thoroughly and in a precise order, and were well received. Historical lessons are taught through notes that are quite adapted to the purpose of historical teaching, which is indicated in paragraph 151 of the Academic Charter. The students' answers to this point were mostly satisfactory. The language class is not yet in the state it should be in at the Academy. This is because those who studied and those who did not study during the formation of the Academy entered it side by side. Those who studied before have now proven themselves worthy of the Academy, while others still linger in the rudiments. Moral institutions are respected. The form of the books of behavior and success required correction, and was corrected. Academic writing was hampered by the inexperience of those who composed the office. However, the members of the Board and the deeds written by his hand testify to the diligence of the Secretary. What has been observed or corrected in this regard is mentioned in the attached extract from the journal. Some information requested by me from the Board will be presented at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools especially when it is received: and the reasons why it is required will be explained. The Academic Library, which formerly belonged to Trinity Seminary, now supplemented by a significant number of books from the Moscow Library, is important in terms of the number and type of books. Although the additional part has not yet been sorted out, and therefore is not fully known: however, one can already guess that according to theological, especially ancient books, this Library can challenge the advantage of each of the Libraries belonging to theological schools. The Academic House is like nothing better could have been wished for. The living rooms of teachers and students are not cramped and tidy. The study rooms are sufficient for their purpose. The meeting hall is not large, but due to the local circumstances of the Academy, a large crowd is not expected that would require a larger one. This hall and the Library are located in a separate building from the main Academic building, connected to it through a small gallery. This building is not of very solid construction, but is not yet dilapidated. In order to support it, the local authorities propose to take away the large porch with a roof, making it dark and damp, to reinforce the floor of the upper floor with stone pillars, and to turn the lower floor, abandoned without use, into storage rooms. The library is also not sufficient to accommodate newly received books. It is necessary to attach to it the canopy located with it, which can be dispensed with. Through this, the Library will adjoin the meeting hall with its outer door. The Diocesan Eminence agrees to give the Library a safe place under the bell tower, where it was before; but this place is not very bright and not convenient for the Librarian to enter frequently. The special wooden house in which the Academic Hospital is located is dilapidated; but the local authorities had already decided to begin his correction. About 1,500 rubles for this will either be borrowed from the remnants of the Academic, or even, perhaps, from the Lavra funds, since this hospital was previously used by monastics, which can still happen. In order to change the troubled apartments of married Professors in the Gostiny Lavra courtyard and provide premises for Academic servants, the local authorities decided to buy a house outside the monastery sufficient for both of them, for 1800 rubles, with interest money. One can hope that when a building is built for the Academy, for which a sum has already been assigned from the Commission of Theological Schools, and at the same time the useless large porches are taken away from the current Academic House, the part of the garden that causes dampness in the nearby rooms is destroyed, and the lower floor of the Professor's building is corrected and strengthened, as all this is supposed by the local authorities, the Academic House will be beautiful, reliable and sufficient. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 74. July 12, 1815 Attached to this report is the following extract from the journal, which is marked: “Certified. Augustine, Archbishop of Dmitrov." At the Moscow Theological Academy, at ten o'clock in the morning, an open test of students began. The subjects of the test were the interpretive reading of St. Scriptures, and the languages ​​Hebrew and Greek. The test was carried out by questions from the teachers, questions from the person appointed to review the academy, and partly from questions from His Eminence. The meeting ended at half past two in the afternoon. Then we inspected the entire academic building. From ten o'clock in the morning until one in the afternoon, the test in philosophy and mathematics continued. At eight and nine o'clock in the morning the academic writing department was inspected. At ten o'clock the test was resumed, which was on that day in literature, general history, and in the German and French languages, and ended at one o'clock in the afternoon. At five o'clock in the afternoon the inspection of the writing department continued. Academy students were tested through an essay on a subject assigned by an observer. For this purpose, he proposed a question: What good or evil did Kant’s philosophy produce? The academic board was asked to: 1) Give information to the reviewer on what basis it recommended, as can be seen from the 5th article of the journal on May 1 of this year, for the priestly position in Kostroma of the Soligalich caretaker Gorsky, who does not have an academic degree, and in the department of the academy very recently, but on the contrary, did not require information whether any of the officials with academic degrees would wish and would not have the convenience to enter the priesthood Kostroma Seminary, with the obligation to continue serving at the seminary for the time being: did the academic board also have in mind someone capable of taking Gorsky’s place, who, having taken the priestly position, can no longer remain a caretaker. 2) Provide information about which auditor of the Tula seminary board is mentioned in the 2nd article of the magazine, June 28; and why the academic board did not pay attention to this when the Tula board this year could not appoint an auditor by itself on the basis of the charter. 3) Give the reviewer a list from the 2nd article of the journal, June 23. 4) Oblige the office to immediately and without delay put matters in proper order, by combining papers related to one case, with lists of resolutions given on them, vacations, and so on. 5) Collect, if possible, and give the observer information on how many students there are in the Moscow diocese, and to what extent they used assistance in their maintenance in 1811, and how many in 1814 before the transformation of schools, in what number to divide the students into two categories, into students of the higher classes, from which the seminaries were formed, and into students of the lower classes, corresponding to the current district and parish schools.

Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Yaroslavl Theological Seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, to the commission of theological schools in a report dated June 12, 1815, No. 73, wrote: To the proposals 151 I gave to the Yaroslavl Seminary Board, the replies now received, consisting of extracts from its journal, partly for information, partly for the consideration of the Commission of Theological Schools, I most respectfully present. Some of them explain the origin of the slowness and irregularity noticed in the course of seminary affairs. Others discover that some economic undertakings of the Board were made hastily and without the approval of the Diocesan Bishop; that, however, this haste occurred most of all from the necessity imposed on the Board by the relocation of the Seminary. That the Seminary Board had no intention of deviating from due subordination and obedience to the Diocesan Bishop is evidenced by the lists also presented from the journal of the Board, January 30, article 3, and May 15, article 14. It is clear from them that the Board, without the obligation imposed by the charter, at the request of the Diocesan Administration, presented lists of all schools twice. Rector Archimandrite Filaret.

July 15. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Bethany Theological Seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, in a report to the commission of theological schools, dated July 15, 1815, No. 81, wrote: Report to the commissions of theological schools from the rector Archimandrite Philaret I most respectfully present the description of the procedure for reviewing the Bethany Seminary, in an extract from the journal I compiled on its Board, at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. A. The educational part of this Seminary is in order, as well as the moral one. In economics, shortcomings were noted that resulted from an unforeseen number of students. Some of the Divinity students who came from Trinity Seminary gave excellent marks both in their oral responses and in their essays. But it was not clear that this class acquired a general character, impressed by the students. The Philosophical class, despite the paucity of aids, is not poor in concepts. For greater accuracy in the proofs offered to beginners, the student is advised to adhere more strictly to the logical form. However, when tested through writing, some students recommended themselves with the abundance and strength of evidence that affirmed the truth. The Rhetorical class, despite the large number of students, is well-equipped. The course of the test was structured; the student’s explanations are clear; The students' answers are mostly satisfactory. Oral experiences of oratory on this subject are presented by some students, brief but correct. Almost the entire test was in Latin. In the classes of Hebrew and Greek, many turned out to be weak: because, they say, not only the first, but also the last was not taught before the transformation of the schools. The Mathematics class, as prescribed by the reviewer, was tested teaching this subject at the Academy, and no omissions were noticed. The Seminary's library is not numerous, but is well-stocked. The Seminar House is too small for the current number of students. The meeting hall is so cramped that even one Rhetorical class could not fit in it freely for testing, and in winter it is not used at all. Living rooms also serve as study rooms. The kitchen is removed from the dining room, and the food you carry gets cold. The Rector, Inspector and Economist live in a special wooden house, where the Board of Directors is crowded; and other teachers in the monastery. Almost all of them, more or less, complain about the inconvenience of their homes. The Diocesan Eminence intends to repair the abbot's rooms in the monastery, and, which, of course, is more decent than the current premises, place the Rector in them; and give his current rooms to teachers. The local authorities also find it necessary to build a new house, which would have an upper wooden floor on the lower stone floor: but it has not yet been decided whether to designate it for residential or educational rooms. It is likely that it will be necessary to provide rooms for the Inspector. The amount for this must be requested from the Commission of Theological Schools and must be requested as necessary. A note requested from the Board is attached regarding the number of students who are government-paid and their own. In state-cost matters, the Board does not find the opportunity to satisfy all the requirements of the charter; the expected monastic sum has not yet been collected for the supernumerary poor students; Those who live on their own suffer from a shortage of apartments. Some are crowded in small numbers in small houses with monastic servants; others live in the nearby village of the Vladimir Diocese 158, separated from the Seminary by a small river. To reduce the burdensome number of students, it would be possible to release 55 other diocesan students according to their affiliation, but some of them were born not far from Bethany, far from the Diocesan Seminary, and, even being orphans, agree to beg on their kosht, only in Bethany Seminary. The difficult local circumstances of Bethany Seminary may lead to the idea of ​​looking for another place for it in the Diocese. But here it has the benefit for its improvement that it is under the close supervision of the Academy, since the Perervin Seminary is under the supervision of the Diocesan Most Reverend. The Commission of Theological Schools is pleased to see in the attached extract from the journal the state of Seminary writing until now. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 81. July 15, 1815 A. An extract from the journal of the board of the Spaso-Bethane Seminary, on which the inscription: “Witnessed. Augustine, Archbishop of Dmitrov." July 9th day, 1815. At Bethany Seminary there was an open testing of students in theology, church history and philosophy. It started at 9 a.m. and lasted four hours. Then the seminar canteen with its accessories was examined. At four o'clock in the afternoon the seminary writing department was inspected, and after that the rest of the seminary house was inspected. Meanwhile, the students of all departments were given subjects for a short essay, which they had to submit the next morning. July 10th day, 1815. Testing of Bethany Seminary students in mathematics, literature, general history and languages ​​continued. It began at nine o'clock in the morning and ended at one in the afternoon. No. 70. 1) Do not expel or accept students untimely, but at the time prescribed by the charter, which is not observed in resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 9 of the journal articles, February 4, this year, and in some others. No. 71. 2) Bring the seminar affairs of the past year into proper order, and also oblige the secretary to immediately put the latest affairs in order, by connecting incoming papers with lists of decisions given on them, with vacations, and so on. No. 72. 3) Give the observer information about how many students in the Bethany seminary are now on full government support, and how many are on half government support, and how many are using other assistance through the seminary authorities, how many are on their own support, and how many of one or another number of students do not belong to the Moscow diocese. The extract was signed by: the rector of the Spaso-Bethany Seminary, professor of theological sciences, Archimandrite Parfeniy 159. Inspector Professor Naumov 160. Secretary, Professor of Mathematical Sciences, Alexander Kandorsky 161. C) In the Spaso-Bethans Seminary, there are currently 100 people on full government pay. 30 people are kept on half government pay. The amount for the maintenance of these thirty people, 1800 rubles, should come, according to the resolution of His Eminence Augustine of Dmitrovsky and the Cavalier, from the monasteries. On top of this, two students use platonic (sic) content. There are 124 students in the seminary, including all other diocesan students, of whom there are 55,162. July 16. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Moscow Theological Seminary The rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Filaret, in a report dated July 16, 1815, No. 82, wrote: On the procedure for reviewing the Moscow Seminary, I most respectfully present an extract from the journal during its administration. This seminary, judging by its recent restoration to the new structure prescribed by the charter, is in fairly good order. The test, by order of the local authorities and the consent of the observer, lasted two days, and was only oral. Testing through essays is left to the Seminary Board. There were no tests in Hermeneutics, by order of the local authorities. Dogmatic Theology is taught according to an abbreviation extracted by the Professor himself, partly from well-known classical books, partly directly from the Holy Scriptures. Scriptures. As far as one could notice during testing, this abbreviation seems unburdensome in its space, and correct in its choice and combination of truths. Many student responses were satisfactory. Philosophical lessons, in addition to Baumeister, were borrowed from Benzel and Carpe. At the request of the teacher, the students, in order to explain, as they said, the proposed truths, orally pronounced during testing many passages from various ancient and modern writers, from Pythagoras to Schwedenborg. Such a teaching, in my opinion, exercises the memory more than forms the mind. In fact, students sharply reading long tirades from writers became slow when it was necessary to give the required proof, or resolve the proposed perplexity in a strict logical form. The test in Rhetoric was almost all in Russian. However, some students gave oral experiments in oratory in Latin. The attached extract from the journal shows what remark it is honorable to make to the Professor of Literature. The mathematical lessons, as far as the observer could judge, were taught thoroughly and firmly accepted. It seems that sufficient progress has been made in the Hebrew language, judging by the fact that many of the students began this subject only from the time of the conversion, and because there are still no book aids for this subject in the local library. It was advised to the local authorities to ask for them from that part of the Moscow Library that was received by the Academy, while the catalog has not yet been compiled. The library of the former Pererva Seminary deserves attention in terms of Russian books. The newly arrived part of the Moscow Library has not yet been put in order: however, one can already see that the latter will serve as a very good addition to the first, especially in the Theological part. The rooms in which the library is located are not spacious, however, they are sufficient. Study rooms are not sparse. And to create a meeting hall, the partition between two study rooms is taken away, which, of course, is good only for needs. The students' living rooms are decent: only some are not plastered inside, but slightly whitewashed; and some, in the vicinity of unclean places, lack fresh air. It is recommended to correct this last shortcoming first of all, since this does not require much. The Rector's rooms are very good: the other student rooms are not visible. To accommodate two married Professors, the Diocesan Most Reverend, without the benefit of the Commission of Theological Schools, intends to soon build a wooden house near the monastery so that there will also be rooms for boarders and self-employed people. This intention, if fulfilled, will be very beneficial for the students: for there is an extreme shortage of apartments here. Some live in the village, more than a mile from the Seminary; others in the settlement near the Seminary pay for apartments as much as the greed of the owners, who see the students’ need for housing, dictates. This shortcoming must be avoided all the more because some students accustomed to the Moscow dispersion used and use it as an excuse to avoid school. What was found during the inspection of the Seminar's writing department is shown by the attached extract from the journal. That exclusions from the Seminary and lower schools continued to this day cannot be blamed on the Seminary authorities: for experience showed that the schools had not yet been purified by testing and excluding those who were incompetent during the formation of the Seminary. Of the 89 students expelled from the Moscow Seminary last December, many themselves urgently demanded to be expelled, others did not appear at the school at all, others were even taken or were suspected of crimes by the civil authorities. This experience proves that the transformation of schools came to the aid of school authorities in order to rid them of idle, spoiled children who, to insult their natural rank, bore the names of Academicians, almost without knowing or being known by the Academy. Of course, this evil has taken deep roots even though it has not yet been eradicated; and the Seminarskoe authorities are making it even more difficult. Four students of the Theological Department: Yartsev, Smirnov, Ivanov, Troitsky demand their exclusion from the Seminary. The other four: Nikulinsky, Shumov, Voskresensky, Velezhev, are not at all. Worth noting is the impulse that is controlled, and which the first four do not even hide. Recognizing themselves to be inferior to their comrades in terms of success, they are afraid that at the end of the course they will be pre-empted by their comrades in taking places; and having now been expelled, they hope to get good priestly positions. Considering this temptation to be very harmful for schools, if no obstacles are put in place, I made it my duty to bring this to the attention of the Commission of Theological Schools and submit it to its discretion. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 82. July 16 The following document was attached to this report, on which was marked: “Certified. Augustine, Archbishop of Dmitrov." The review of classes at the Moscow seminary, prescribed by the commission of theological schools, is combined with an open test, appointed for this day by the local authorities. The test began in the presence of His Eminence, at 9 o'clock in the morning, and ended at one o'clock in the afternoon. Theology, church history and philosophy were offered for testing. Part of the evening time this day was used to inspect the seminary's writing department. Testing in other educational subjects belonging to the seminary, from nine o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon. The inspection of seminary affairs continued both in the morning hours before the test, and partly after it. Concluded by inspection of the library and seminary house. No. 75. 1) Based on paragraph 162 of the seminary charter, test students through essays, since this has not been done so far. 76. 2) To put the current affairs of the seminary board in order, through the connection of papers entering into it with lists, decisions given on them, vacations, and so on, and not to delay the formation of an archive of completed cases. No. 77. 3) Since the gradual establishment of the seminary over the past year can now be considered completed, stop the simultaneous expulsion and dismissal of students from the seminary and its subordinate schools, which is mentioned in article 14 of the board’s journal on December 6 of last year; in article 8 on December 19, in article 9 on December 21; in article 6 on January 14 of this year, and in article 1 on February 11, and so that careless and unreliable students do not unnecessarily burden teachers, do not miss the opportunity to clear schools of them after a public test, on the basis of paragraph 173 of the seminary charter: and let the observer know which students are now nominated for expulsion. No. 78. 4) The teacher of literature must make special efforts to maintain and improve knowledge of the Latin language and the practical part of literature, in accordance with paragraphs 127, 128 and 129 of the seminary charter. No. 79. 5) Start describing the library according to the new classification. No. 80. 6) Give the reviewer a statement about the students who are kept on full government support, or who use other aids, and about those who remain on their own, and whether these benefits are sufficient for poor students 163.

The extract, indicated by the letter A, article two shows, among other things, that the expelled Students of Philosophy were obliged to go to their previous class. Article six and a list from article 12 of the Board's journal, March 18, show how burdensome writing has hitherto accompanied the exclusion of students. Article seven, with a list relating to it from the 13th article of the journal of the Board, April 28, explains that the Board had the intention of rewarding students for the lack of government apartments, but stopped this matter with a delay, which for professors recently ended with their placement in a government house, and for two priest teachers continues. The list from article 1 of the journal of the Board of March 13 was requested by me as an example of what was said in my report to the Commission of Theological Schools, No. 63,166, about the promotion of students excluded from rhetoric directly to priestly places. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 84. July 17, 1815 The following documents are attached to this report: A.

This extract from the journal was not certified by his Eminence (i.e., Xenophon (Troepolsky), Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal), due to his absence from Vladimir. Secretary candidate Alexey Ilyinsky 171. The commission of theological schools, upon consideration of the reports of the rector of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, on the situation of the seminaries he revised, by a ruling dated August 21, 1815, decided: I. About the Novgorod Seminary The secretary of the seminary board of Nikolaevsky, out of respect for his excellence in writing, should be left in this position; but to instruct the board that, when filling a secretarial vacancy in the future, it should be guided by § 24 of the seminary charter. Since the position of a librarian can conveniently be combined with a professorship, and does not require a special person, then the seminary board should be ordered to appoint librarians from among professors. III. About Yaroslavl Seminary a) Allow the Eminence Metropolitan of Novgorod to communicate with the Eminence of Yaroslavl, whether he would agree, respecting the reasons explained in the report of the auditor, to move the consistory to the building in which, at the arrival of the auditor, the rector of the seminary occupied rooms, and behind that there were still empty rooms; rooms in connection with the seminaries, now occupied by the consistory, will be provided to the seminary, with the rector moving to the seminary buildings. b) The expenses made by the seminary board on the account of 5000 rubles returned from the commission of theological schools must be accepted this time; and then instruct the seminary board, so that when assigning important sums for expenditure, it should ask the permission of the diocesan bishop, and without this should not dare to pay them. IV. About Kostroma Seminary a) Allow Mr. Privy Councilor Prince Golitsyn to communicate with Mr. Administrator of the Ministry of Police about an order to the Kostroma provincial authorities to remove the archives of the provincial government from the rooms it occupies, connected to the seminar rooms. b) The theater and romance books in the seminary library are in abundance, since they are useless for teachers and students, after the stamps on them are destroyed, exchange them for others corresponding to spiritual education, or sell them, and turn the money into the benefit of the library. On this basis, issue an order to the seminary board. V. About Vladimir Seminary a) Submit to the Holy Synod an order to both the Vladimir and other diocesan authorities so that students expelled from seminaries before the end of the course are not assigned directly to priestly positions. b) Instruct the Vladimir seminary board to unite the libraries under its jurisdiction: two in Vladimir, and the third in Suzdal, and, after compiling an inventory, in accordance with the prescribed classification, submit to the commission a register of duplicate copies. Request similar registers from other seminaries, ordering them to also provide the commission with information about what books they need. c) Three secular professors, namely: Podlipsky 172, Ilyinsky 173 and Tuberovsky 174, in compensation for the expenses they made during the past academic year for apartments, are given one hundred and fifty rubles at a time from the remainder of the shortage of schools. d) From the same amount, make one hundred and fifty rubles for renting apartments for language teachers at the seminary: priests Savelov 175 and Ivan Alyakrinsky 176, until the local authorities cease the need for this emergency benefit, by placing them in a government building, or by increasing, due to a change in circumstances, the salary they receive from the seminary, or by moving them to churches that would provide them with more help. The order on the last two points is to be given to the Privy Councilor Prince Golitsyn, giving for this purpose an extract from this journal article to the economic expedition. e) Allow His Eminence Ambrose, Metropolitan of Novgorod, to communicate with the Eminence of Vladimir, so that he can take care to find another convenient place for the location of the Vladimir district and parish schools; and turn the part of the house now occupied by them at the seminary into the home of the students of this latter. VI. About Bethany Seminary Due to the cramped conditions of the seminary buildings, it is urgent to put into action plans for a new building, and to request plans for it together with an estimate from the Right Reverend Archbishop of Dmitrov, through the mediation of the Right Reverend Metropolitan of Novgorod. VII. About Moscow Seminary Instruct the seminary board to immediately expel the students of the theological department who deviate from the continuation of science: Yartsev, Smirnov, Ivanov, Troitsky, Nikulinsky, Shumov, Voskresensky and Velezhev from the seminary, and send them to the consistory department with the appropriate certificates about them, in which to state that these students, if they wish to remain in the clergy, in accordance with the 42nd paragraph the outlines of the rules may, at the discretion of the diocesan authorities, be determined for the first time no higher than for deacon places outside the capital; The governor of the Moscow metropolitanate, His Eminence Augustine, should be informed about what order through the intermediary of His Eminence Ambrose, Metropolitan of Novgorod 177. July 17. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the Commission of Theological Schools, on the state of the Moscow Theological School revised by him Rector of St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, dated July 17, 1815, No. 83, reported the following to the commission of theological schools: I most respectfully present an extract from the journal of the Moscow District School about its former review, at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools, A. The Latin classes of this school are in order: the others are in the rudiments. There is a complete deficiency in educational books. The meeting hall is fine. Apart from this, almost all the rooms require either repairs or tidying up. One arch of the gallery fell, and in the same place the corner of the building cracked from top to bottom. However, according to the local authorities, the architect did not recognize this as dangerous. Once the rooms have been repaired, a large bursa can be founded here. It would be desirable that then there would be no more barrels or coopers in the yard, to whom the now Rector of the school gave some of the rooms and left them to disgrace the monastery and the school. The number of students in the Moscow District School is so large that in order to keep the classes in order, it is absolutely necessary to either appoint two teachers per class, giving each half of the students, and a special classroom, or to found another District School. For this last assumption, there is a stone, two-story, iron-covered building, only not finished inside, about 10 fathoms long and about 4 fathoms wide, in the Androniyev Monastery. Here it would be possible to establish a District School primarily for those on their own, who would find apartments here that would not be as expensive as in the middle of the city; and provide the Zaikonospasskoe School primarily for students. The diocesan Eminence, who inspected the Andronievskoe building together with the observer, also finds the fulfillment of this assumption both convenient and useful. The writing materials of the Moscow Theological District School were found not entirely in good working order. All books are written carelessly. Articles in the book of incoming cases, not written by the Rector’s hand, are not sealed by him. Expenses of both years, and both schools in one notebook; and there is not a single receipt in the issuance of money, contrary to paragraph 302 of the seminary charter. In the outgoing notebook there is no indication of the incoming book. The rector was given the necessary advice on this matter. As for the receipt books in particular: I have the honor to submit to the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools whether, in order to prevent confusion, especially that may occur in the use and calculation of Bursatsky sums, it would be good to establish general rules for how and in what order these books should be kept. For although some Seminary Boards, and specifically those belonging to the St. Petersburg district, give the Rectors and Superintendents of schools receipt and expenditure books under their own seal, there is no clear rule for this in the charters. The opportunity for this addition will open when drawing up regulations on poor students of lower schools, which the Commission of Theological Schools is now demanding from the Academic Boards. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 83. July 17, 1815 The following documents are attached to the report: At the Moscow Theological District School, students were tested in the Latin and Greek languages, history, geography, arithmetic and Russian grammar. It started at eleven o'clock in the morning and ended at one in the afternoon. The test was carried out within one period of time, not only due to the circumstances of the observer, but also by order of the local authorities. Then we inspected the buildings currently occupied by the school and those proposed to house the school again. Writing was also partly looked at. V. According to the Moscow district school: in the higher department there are 383 students, in the lower department there are 262 students, in the parish school there are 90 students. Of these students, the following are kept on bursak support: in the Zaikonospassky Monastery - 48, There are 32 people living in Epiphany Bursa, in Znamenskaya Bursa there are 16 residents, in Zaikonospasskaya Bursa there are 42 residents, for apartments in different places living 178 – 548. July 17. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, on the state of the Moscow Theological Academy Rector of St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, in a report to the commission of theological schools, dated July 17, 1815, No. 85, wrote the following: Report to the Commission of Theological Schools by Rector Archimandrite Philaret. To the questions I gave to the Moscow Academic Board, I most respectfully present the answers received at the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools. The extract, under the letter A, agrees with the opinion expressed in my report, No. 83, about the establishment of another District School in Moscow 179. The extract indicated by the letter B, Article 5 must be supplemented subsequently. First of all, I would like to make it clear that the information mentioned in it was required by me in order to clarify and present to the discretion of the Commission of Theological Schools the proportionality or disproportion of the assistance currently being provided to poor students with the number of such students, and comparison with the assistance previously provided to them; and thus provide a way to believe, and respect, or not respect, the complaint of some about the deprivation of assistance through the transformation of schools. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 85. July 17 days. 1815 The following documents are attached to this report: A. List from the 2nd article of the journal of the board of the Moscow Theological Academy, June 23rd day. V. Copy from the journal of the board of the Moscow Theological Academy, July 12, 1815 Upon receipt of this information, deliver it to the observer at the Moscow Theological Academy 180. Based on these reports, the journal of the commission of theological schools, dated August 21, 1815, decided. The commission, after hearing the report on the state of the Moscow Academy, decided: Let the administrator of the Moscow metropolitanate, His Eminence Archbishop Augustine, through the intermediary of the Eminence Metropolitan of Novgorod, know that the commission of theological schools, both in general his care for the organization of the academy and other theological schools under his department, and in particular the proposals for the construction of a house at the Perervin seminary to house some professors and students, and other assistance to economic schools, accepts with gratitude, and upon receipt of information about the fulfillment of the assumptions made now, bring it to the attention of His Imperial Majesty. At this end, and forward to His Grace Ambrose, Metropolitan of Novgorod, list 181 from the magazine article. August 7. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, about the state of the Kolomna Theological School, which he revised Rector of St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, dated August 7, 1815, No. 89, reported the following to the commission of theological schools: Report to the Commission of Theological Schools by Rector Archimandrite Philaret. Although the Kolomna district and parish schools are not on the path of the review entrusted to me; however, on the occasion that presented itself to me, I thought it would not be superfluous to review them briefly, which I performed on the 19th day of July. Of the classes, the best organized and worthy of approval is the highest Latin class. Sacred History has made a good start. However, there are still no educational books for it or for other new subjects. The lower department expects more from the new teacher than what they had in the previous one. The parish classes are weak, either from a lack of teachers, or from the shortcomings of the teacher. Both schools have only three teachers. The classrooms at the District School are good. Classes of the Parish School in one, low, not very bright and unkempt room. The local authorities made a presentation to the higher authorities about the costs of moving some classes to better rooms in the monastery, and for correcting the current classroom of the Parish School, and another nearby, in which it is supposed to be a cadet. But it would be incomparably better if, from the cramped and decaying house, and from the crowded and cramped courtyard of the cathedral, the school was completely transferred to a monastery. Here, from the empty rooms belonging to the building of the Spiritual Board, it would be possible to make classrooms, and from the newly decorated ones in the lower floor of the large building that was formerly the Bishop's House, a part could be separated for housing students. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 89. August 7, 1815 The commission of theological schools, after listening to the above reports, in a journal dated August 17, 1815, decided: I. About Novgorod schools Please take note of the report about these schools. II. About Vyshnevolotsk schools The malfunctions in the district school were identified by the auditor, based on the fact that they had already been given the advice they needed to correct them, and in his opinion, leave this time without further comment. III and IV. About Novotorzhsk and Tver schools Because these schools were found in good order; Therefore, the report on their condition should be taken into account. a) Allow the diocesan Right Reverend Archbishop Seraphim to enter into consideration: whether the assistance offered by the merchant Terlikov in the construction of a school house and a church with it can be accepted without burdening the monastery; if it is not in conjunction with the monastery benefits, in this case I would present an estimate of the money needed to build a house at government expense. b) The superintendent must order that general history, since it is not allowed in the charter for the district school, will henceforth not be taught there. VI and VII. About the Uglich parish and Yaroslavl schools Through the Right Reverend Metropolitan of Novgorod, make contact with the Right Reverend Archbishop of Yaroslavl so that he can enter into consideration: is it possible to found a district school in Uglich in the same place where the parish school now exists, or to house both, according to the assumption of the local school authorities, it is really necessary to buy the house being sold in Uglich for 9,000 rubles, and in general, in order to draw pastoral attention to the need for many students, to immediately reopen one or two district schools in the Yaroslavl diocese, and would give my opinion on that. VIII. About Kostroma schools Please take note of the report about these schools, which are well-established and do not require direction to a better structure from the higher authorities. IX. About Vladimir schools a) To order both the Vladimir and other boards of the reformed seminaries, so that students, whether due to inability to science, or for other reasons, excluded from schools, with the certificates given to them, and with a general list about them, are immediately sent to the consistory at their discretion; and at the same time they were excluded from the school lists and from the school’s jurisdiction. Note. This rule should also be extended to expelled seminarians. b) In particular, order the Vladimir seminary board, so that, due to the large number of students in the Vladimir district school, it should begin to establish one or two such schools, and would present this to the commission in order, and there should not be a Russian school. X and XI. About the Moscow district and Kolomna schools a) Out of respect for the large population in the Moscow district school, according to the opinion of the city auditor, establish another in the Androniev Monastery; and an estimate of the amount for the finishing of the building proposed for the placement of a school in this monastery should be requested from the administrator of the Moscow Metropolitanate, His Eminence Augustine, through the Eminence Metropolitan of Novgorod. b) In addition to this, contact him, the Eminence, to see if he finds it possible and convenient to transfer the Kolomna schools to the Kolomna Novo-Golutvin Monastery, classes: to private rooms. board, and the bursa, in the lower floor of the monastery house. c) But, as for the receipt and expenditure books, report to the commission about the establishment of the rules necessary for this when the requirements required from the academic boards are obtained and the commission considers projects on the maintenance of poor students of lower schools. According to the content of these provisions, carry out execution, forwarding extracts from them to the Right Reverends: the Metropolitan of Novgorod and the Archbishop of Tver, and making the appropriate instructions to the academic boards 182. August 12. Report from the rector of St. Petersburg. Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the commission of theological schools, with a review of the heads and teachers of theological educational institutions of the St. Petersburg and Moscow districts The rector, Archimandrite Filaret, in a report to the commission of theological schools, dated August 12, 1815, No. 90, wrote: In accordance with the instructions given to me by the Commission of Theological Schools, with paragraph 467 of the Academic Charter, I am faced with the difficult task of presenting to the authorities my opinions about the abilities and diligence of those in charge and teaching in the places of inspection entrusted to me. One must submit to the necessity of the law, and strive to fulfill its requirements according to the utmost understanding, and in freedom of conscience from partiality and opposition. In a short period of observation, in people, except in this case unknown, only visible perfections or important shortcomings can be distinguished with sufficient clarity. Graduation between good and mediocre cannot always be determined without long-term and constant observation. Therefore, the opinions that the observer receives about the persons he saw in the few hours of reporting cannot always be decisive, especially in detail. About the leaders and students at the Novgorod Theological Seminary Rector and Professor of Theological Sciences Archimandrite Vladimir 183 shows unremitting diligence in positions. Has information appropriate to its place. Capable of management, both office and civil, personal and domestic. His views are well-intentioned: his firm and calm manner of action is edifying. It is clearly seen that the center of the structure of the Seminary in all parts is precisely he. Inspector and Professor of Philosophical Sciences Hieromonk Ambrose 184 is diligent in his positions. He has information, if not deep, at least such that, with the increase of experiences and aids, can be sufficient for his place. In management, due to some natural liveliness of his character and not yet long-term experience, he especially needs the thoroughness of the Rector. The housekeeper, a white priest, seems to be new to his profession, but he is very trustworthy. Candidate Vasiliev 185 is capable and diligent. In teaching Church History, he should not be so forced to act on the memory of his students, which is what he was advised to do. He showed particular success in teaching Russian Literature. Candidate Ignatiev 186 is capable and diligent. Candidate Tikhvinsky 187 is capable and diligent. He showed particular success in teaching the Hebrew language, which had not been introduced to the Seminary before him, and which he has been teaching for less than a year. Successes in the Mathematics and Physics class, in terms of the news of this department and the breadth of subjects, are apparently not so significant. Candidate Beloezersky 188 is capable and diligent. In the teaching of General and Russian History, it seems to be burdensomely detailed: which probably comes from the way in which he himself was taught: he was advised to use less story, and more methods. About the governor and students in the Novgorod district and parish schools The Rector of the Cathedral Archpriest shows a simple disposition, coupled, however, with concern for the position. The teachers of both Schools, also Soborians of Sofia, generally seem capable and attentive to their work. It is strange that Latin and Greek are taught in the higher department by a deacon, and in the lower department by a priest. About the governor and students at the Uyezd and Parish schools of Vyshnevolotsk The Rector of the Cathedral Archpriest seems active. But the state of the academic part of the school does not quite correspond to this concept. Priest Alexey Vyshnevolotsky is reasonable, apparently. Other teachers were not seen as incapable. The rector testifies to the edifying behavior of all of them. (But on the way back, the observer explained that those who teach from the clergy are not as active as teachers who are not occupied with other positions). About the governor and students at the District and Parish schools of Novotorzhsky The Klimentovsky Priest, who rules the position of Rector, justifies his ability and diligence in the position by the well-maintained state of the school and perfectly serviceable writing. Meekness adorns his virtues. Teachers generally show ability and diligence in their work, and skill as evidenced by the success of their students. One of them, namely Grigory Rezantsov, has been serving as a teacher for twelve years: not wanting to enter the clergy for the strange reason that he is afraid of the dead. About the governor and students at the Kashinsky district and parish schools The caretaker of the Cathedral Archpriest seems zealous for the position: but whether he has the qualities required for the head of the school, I cannot say. From the copy from the magazine, written by his hand, presented to the Commission of Theological Schools, it is clear that he writes without spelling, without lowercase marks and without attention to the reason of what he writes. The teacher Hieromonk Augustine, who completed his studies at the Tver Seminary and has been holding the position of teacher for fifteen years now (however, I have not tested in the work of the position), is worthy of the attention of his superiors due to his patience. Teacher Feodor Soloviev, who also graduated from the Tver Seminary and has been serving as a teacher for twenty-eight years, also represents an example of patience that is not often encountered. To my question: what kind of jobs does he envision for himself in the future, he replied that he would only like to increase his annual income for the benefit of an orphaned family of 7 people, for whom he lives, and in helping whom he has found it especially difficult since the time he was separated from him by obedience to his superiors; for, against his wishes, the late Diocesan Bishop 189 transferred from Bezhetsk to the present place. On the elderly face of this teacher especially (and to some extent on the faces of others) one can see an expression of patience. The caretaker approves of all of them: and I have not noticed anything that casts doubt on this evidence. About the governor and students at the Tver District and Parish Schools I dare not say anything about the abilities and diligence of the Rector 190 Archimandrite: for I could not distinguish the action that his person performed over the school. The teachers all prove themselves to be serviceable. What stands out is the teacher and inspector Golubev, who is much older than the others, often speaks to his students in Latin, and is intelligible; generally commands their attention, having a high degree of teacher importance. About the leaders and students at the Tver Theological Seminary Rector and Professor of Theological Sciences Archimandrite Samuel 191 is quite capable, tirelessly diligent. In knowledge he prefers the thorough to the brilliant. Despite the fact that he has been in a Seminary that was previously unfamiliar, and at the same time transformed according to new rules, for less than a year, he puts his own tension into the organization of the educational part and the activities of the Board. In the schools subordinate to this Board, I found instructions signed by one Rector for haste in fulfilling the instructions of the highest authorities, while the executor of the Seminary Board’s decisions, the Secretary, was not enough for this haste. Inspector and Professor of Philosophical Sciences Hieromonk Vladimir 192, although very recently he is still in both of these positions: however, in terms of his abilities, he gives good hope for successfully completing them, with an increase in experiences and benefits. Economy Cathedral Archpriest John is capable and diligent. Old age, long-term service at the Seminary itself, prudence and good intentions make him an important member of the Seminary. Master Alekseev 193 is capable and diligent. True, in terms of his qualities, he promised in the literature class and moreover, which turned out to be the test: but poor health and an excessive number of students made it difficult for him. Senior Candidate Protopopov 194 is capable and diligent. He commands the attention of his students and accurately determines the degree of their success. Candidate Lavrovsky 195 is capable and diligent. He lacks only a certain liveliness for the free disclosure of his knowledge. Candidate Greshishchev 196 is capable. He is noticeably cold towards the position of Secretary, and dissatisfied with delving into its details. Accordingly, with this remark, advice was given to him and a proposal was given to the Seminary Board. About the governor and students at the Uglich Uezd and Parish schools The caretaker of the Cathedral Priest Alexey is still inexperienced in his position; however, he seems to be diligent and diligent towards her. A meek man and not dreaming of himself: and therefore able to learn by experience. Due to the haste of review, I cannot make any comments about the teacher of the highest class, and I have never seen a teacher of the lower class. About those in charge and teaching at the Yaroslavl Theological Seminary Rector and Professor of Theological Sciences Archimandrite Theophan 197 is capable and diligent for the position of Professor. According to the Board, especially at the beginning, he did not show enough activity and prudence: but this could partly stem from the slowness and irregularity in which the composition of the Board was formed, beyond his control. Inspector and Professor of Philosophical Sciences Candidate Martynov 198 is capable and diligent. Something in his constitution makes him somewhat thoughtful and slow: but with these shortcomings, he also has qualities bordering on them, thoroughness and constancy. Whether Hieromonk Konstantin, the housekeeper, is capable of holding the position cannot be determined with certainty upon review. The meekness and honesty of his character are very visible. The Deacon 199 candidate is capable and diligent. However, in the Math class he commands the attention of the students more than in the Church History class. Deciding to enter into civil life, he refused to preach sermons: however, having listened to the reviewer’s remark about this, he meekly admitted that in this case he could have acted differently with greater edification for the students. Candidate Nenarokomov 200 in teaching General History turned out to be extensive without order, and also superficial in teaching literature. The first partly comes from a teacher 201 that he himself had: also, perhaps, the last one, but this is more due to his own inexperience. Having come to his senses with experience and advice, he promised to correct his method. In the position of Professor, Tunoshensky 202 is capable and diligent. The library is kept in order. In the position of Professor, Miloslavov is capable and diligent. As a Secretary, he is inexperienced, but is ready to accept instructions, and is firm in doing what he recognizes as due. About the governor and students at the Uyezd and Parish schools of Yaroslavl Rector Archimandrite 203 is capable and diligent. In writing, although, according to news, it is not always accurate, it is not lost. In subordination he is unquestioning, in relationships he is sincere. About students, some of whom were not at all visible in their positions, and others, although they were present during the testing of their students, but took little part in it, it is impossible to give evidence with a certificate. About the governor and students at the District and Parish schools of Kostroma The Rector of the Cathedral, Klyuchar Krasovsky, is capable, diligent, and excellent in service. The teacher of the highest Latin class, Priest Cosmas of the Preobrazhensky, is capable and diligent. With gentle treatment, he completely commands the attention of the students and gives their abilities the right direction. About the other teachers, during a brief test of the classes, most of which had only recently been opened, it was impossible to draw a conclusion with a certificate. About the leaders and students at the Kostroma Theological Seminary Rector Archimandrite August 204 what effect it has on students and management is difficult to determine. He does not show the experienced prudence and correct character characteristic of a commander: and, whether due to a natural deficiency, or due to the effect of self-consciousness, he does not even have the presence of mind. In the state of the educational part, one can see something that corresponds to the qualities of the students, but nothing that would reveal the influence of the Rector. Inspector and Professor of Theological Sciences Master Lestev 205 is quite capable, tirelessly diligent. The Theological class is not improved by an abundance of ready-made aids; but actually through his works. He carefully observes the rules of moral management prescribed by the charter. Economy White Priest is not considered capable and diligent. Candidate Skvortsov 206 is capable and diligent. Shows more success in teaching Church History than Philosophy. However, it gives hope that he will overcome the difficulties of this last subject with more experiments. Candidate Talyzin 207 is capable and diligent. Candidate Sanin 208 is capable and diligent, although the way he taught history, adopted by him from his mentor, required correction. In the position of Professor, Gruzdev is capable and diligent. He does not look for the unusual: but he teaches what is necessary thoroughly, and, without being hampered even by a large number of students, he achieves sure success. Teacher Gorsky is capable and diligent. His quiet disposition, free from distraction, promises the highest perfection in him. The Client Secretary is diligent. About those in charge and teaching at the Vladimir Theological Seminary Rector and Professor of Theological Sciences Archimandrite Joseph 209 is quite capable and relentlessly diligent. Having been called to real positions by accident, and Having entered them out of obedience, he acts in them differently than a beginner. Perhaps the quietness and, so to speak, suffering nature of his character, however, based on pure rules, are not very conducive to the rapid improvement of the crowded and in many ways insufficient Seminary entrusted to his management. But the purity of his rules promises that his action for the common good will be blessed with success. Inspector and in the position of Professor of Philosophical Sciences, Hegumen Joseph 210 is capable and diligent. Although his philosophical information relates most to Wolffian Philosophy: however, he guides it correctly and thoroughly, as a mentor, confirmed in his work by not a little experience. In my opinion, he is worthy of the title of Professor, which he does not yet have. In terms of moral management, it does not have excellent success due to the crowded and scattered residence of the Seminarians. Housekeeper Hieromonk Nikodim 211 is capable and diligent. Meek and ready to obey. It is a pity that, having been a teacher for about seven years, he does not now have a teaching position where his abilities would receive a more appropriate activity. It would be fitting for him to take the place of Supervisor and teacher at the Vladimir District School, and the current Supervisor, who since the opening of the Seminary had already taken several positions with it, including economics, and soon left them, could have been used for the formation and management of another District School, which would open again in the Vladimir Diocese. Candidate Podlipsky 212 is capable and diligent. He is one of the teachers of Church History in the Seminaries that have been examined so far, and has already managed to partially engage his students with essays on his subject. In the Greek language, his successes were not great because he had to guide his students from the very beginning, but his initial lessons were accepted correctly. Candidate Ilyinsky 213 is capable and diligent. In the position of Secretary, he is patiently active. Candidate Tuberovsky 214 is capable and diligent. He could have achieved great success if he had not been burdened with many students, many of whom did not have the required degree of preliminary education, and was hampered by poor health. The teacher Priest Ivan Savelov 215 is capable and diligent, it is difficult to confirm because the test in the Hebrew and German languages ​​was the shortest, since in the first of these subjects, due to the small number of hours of study, little progress was made, and in the latter the observer is little versed. The teacher Priest I. Alyakrinsky 216 is capable and, it seems, diligent. About the governor and students at the Uezd and Parish schools of Vladimir Overseer Builder Arkady 217 must be capable and diligent, if you believe what he undertakes. After the transformation of the Seminary, he was its Economist and teacher of the French language. But he soon left these positions. Now he is the Librarian of the Seminary, the Superintendent of the District and Parish Schools, the teacher of Sacred History, Catechism and Geography, and moreover, he assured the observer that every day he either teaches the Russian class in subjects peculiar to him, or at least visits for supervision. When the observer demanded from one student of his class that he pronounce one of the members of the Creed, and the student several times began to read, instead of the text of the Symbol, its explanation set out in the Catechism: the teacher resolved the difficulty by telling the student, for his understanding, to read as they read in the Church. Of the teachers, the Overseer gives justice especially to Inspector Amenitsky 218 and Priest Chizhev 219. It is not known why Priest Agrikov 220, who teaches Latin in the lower department, is not added to this, who, being lame and without a priestly position, lives for 12 years only for school, and teaches, apparently, thoroughly. About the leaders and students at the Moscow Theological Academy Rector Archimandrite and Cavalier Simeon 221 is superior in merit to the testimony of the observer. Inspector and Theological Sciences Professor Archimandrite Philaret 222 is quite capable, tirelessly diligent. Piety and strict life give importance to his instructions and strength to his authority. He edifies both students and teachers by his example. Bachelor of Theological Sciences Hieromonk Hermogenes 223, although he has not yet entered the Theological Department; however, his interpretative notes on the Psalms, seen by observers, give the right to testify that he is quite capable and tirelessly diligent. Like the Inspector, he edifies his staff and students by example of piety and strict life. In poor health, solely for the purpose of preserving and putting in order the Library of the former Academy, which had been upset during the French raid, he agreed to take up the position of Librarian under it: for the same reason, he accepted this position at the new Academy, according to which he had hitherto been engaged in the division of the Moscow Library. Bachelor Master Levitsky 224 is very capable and diligent. Bachelor Master Kutnevich 225 is extremely capable and diligent. According to the observer, he gained the attention of local authorities and the respect of students to the highest degree before their peers. Bachelor Master Kherson 226 is very capable and diligent. Bachelor Master Heavy 227 capable and diligent. Bachelor Master Rozanov 228 did not present any experience of his work. Bachelor Archimandrite Nikanor 229 did not show any experience of his work. Bachelor Hieromonk Theoktist 230 is capable and diligent. Health of the weak. Senior Candidate Bozhanov 231 is very capable and diligent. Candidate Ogievsky 232 is capable and diligent. The housekeeper Hieromonk Paisius 233 is capable of his position and is diligent about it: but one cannot guarantee that he will not look for an opportunity to leave it and return to the general circle of the monastic brethren, who, with less worries, acquire incomes that almost exceed the economic salary. About the rulers and teachers at Bethany Theological Seminary Rector Archimandrite Parthenius 234 is capable of being a good teacher in theology if, with the help of diligence and experience, he acquires more thoroughness in his knowledge and more accuracy in his explanations. In management he is thrifty: but sometimes he sacrifices the strictness of order to leniency. Inspector Senior Candidate Naumov 235 is quite capable and very diligent. Candidate Shchutsky 236 is capable and diligent. Candidate Kandorsky 237 was not noticed as incapable. In the position of Professor, Lileev 238 is very capable and quite diligent. Teacher Platonov is capable and diligent. In the testimonies that he gave about the success of students in the Jewish class, he was excessively lenient. The housekeeper Hieromonk Nikandr was not noticed as incapable. About the governor and students at the District and Parish schools of Moscow The rector Archimandrite Neophyte has sufficient abilities and knowledge: but whether he carries out his position with all diligence, the disorder noticed in the affairs of the school does not allow him to be confirmed. Inspector Teacher Platonov-Tikhomirov is very capable, and apparently quite diligent. Teacher Bozhanov is quite capable and diligent. Teacher Priest Platonov is capable. About the others, due to the brevity of the test, it is not possible to testify with certainty. About the leaders and students at the Moscow Theological Seminary Rector Archimandrite Eugene 239 is perfectly capable of holding the position of Professor and is tirelessly diligent. He is strict in management, in cases of bewilderment he is careful even to the point of distrust, and he is edifying in his lifestyle. Inspector and Professor of Philosophy Hieromonk Benjamin 240 is quite capable, and very diligent: although, however, he did not follow the teaching method perfectly in everything, due to a lack of guidance to the best. Candidate Loshakov 241 is capable and diligent: but in teaching lessons, it seems, not without shortcomings, due to inexperience. Candidate Bogdanovich 242 is quite capable and extremely diligent. Candidate Lebedev 243 is capable and diligent. Professor Pokrovsky 244, by all indications, is excellently versed in his main subject, which is Mathematics, and is faithful to his position: but, it seems, he suffers, or at least is not quite happy, being left at the lowest level of the Academic when leaving the Academy. The housekeeper Hieromonk Sergius was not noticed as incapable. About the governor and students at the Kolomna district and parish schools Rector of the Cathedral Archpriest 245, being the father of the observer, cannot be witnessed by his son. Inspector and Teacher Priest Herodion 246 is very capable and diligent. The experience that he acquired in the teaching position, having held it for about 15 years, gives him the opportunity to successfully correct it in other time-consuming positions. Teacher Protopopov is capable. But whether he is diligent, according to the news of his position, is not yet the time to testify: although, however, he has not yet been noticed in omission of study time. The teacher Priest Zachary is apparently not quite capable and diligent. Rector Archimandrite Filaret. No. 90.

October 15. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, in the case of the dismissal of the headman of the Church of the Entrance of Jerusalem Shulgin According to the report of the dean, Archpriest Sergius Alekseev, and the attached explanation of the watchmen of the church at the entrance to Jerusalem, at the Legova Canal, that they truly receive payment for mourning church things and give them to the church warden Shulgin, Archimandrite Philaret, who was present at the consistory, gave the following opinion: October (October) 15. In the continuation of Shulgin’s service as headman, no benefit to the church is foreseen, due to the following circumstances revealed from the case: 1st. In the collection of candle sums under this headman, in two years there was a deliberate decrease, contrary to the previous one, namely in 1815 it turned out to be up to 100 rubles or more, for which the headman unsatisfactorily apologizes as a decrease in the number of people in St. Petersburg, for in other churches in the same years no such decrease in candle income was noticed, and in some there followed an increase; Yes, and the reduction of the people should be assumed in 1812 under the previous headman; and the supply of forests, for this did not last for two years. 2nd. The priest’s testimony that the elder gives his son payment for selling candles, the elder did not reject: and this circumstance does not show zeal for the church. 3rd. Whether the elder actually acted in agreement with the clergy, this remains in doubt: for the archpriest and the deacon claim (that) the two priests reject, but the clergy do not know about it. 4th. Some people who attend church, whom the elder’s testimony could not discredit, express displeasure at him. 5th. After the death of the archpriest, since the senior priest at the church is Kirillov, who is now in disagreement with the elder, it will be difficult to have good agreement in the future, which is necessary for the common good. Due to these circumstances, Shulgin himself expressed his consent to leave the post of headman: then dismiss him from it and order the dean to choose a new one. First, this opinion should be submitted to His Eminence for consideration 248. November 3. Opinion of someone present in St. Petersburg. consistory, Archimandrite Philaret, at the request of the workshop foreman, a foreigner who accepted Russian citizenship, Alexander Musard, for permission to enter into his first marriage The guild master, a foreigner, Alexander Musard, asked permission to enter into his first marriage, and attached certificates: one from the local provincial government that he had taken the oath of eternal allegiance to the Russian government, and two given by the pastor of the Reformed French kirk, of which: 1st, that he, Alexander, was born on May 8, 1793, and 2nd, that he, having 23 years old, has not married anyone in the Reformed Church, as far as he, the pastor, knows. On this request, Archimandrite Philaret, who was present at the consistory, gave the following opinion: November 3 days. since the 42nd rule of Basil the Great, under the authority of the father, a living son and without the will of his father, is subject to prohibition; and the petitioner Musard should be recognized as being under the authority of his father because he is not yet twenty-five years old from birth: then his entering into marriage without the will of his father would be contrary to the above rule. Although there is no exact church rule about the age at which a son becomes independent of the will of his father in relation to entering into marriage; but as the fourth part of the City Law, Rule 19 commands that an autocratic girl who is less than twenty-five years old choose a husband by the will of her father: then, in the same way, a son who is not twenty-five years old cannot be considered independent in this case. On this basis, inform the petitioner that he must either provide a written assurance of his father’s consent to this, that is, to enter into marriage, or, in case of disagreement, refuse; first submit this opinion for the consideration and decision of His Eminence 249. November 19. Archimandrite Philaret's petition to Metropolitan Ambrose for permission to print the notes he compiled on the book of Genesis Rector of St. Petersburg Theological Academy, Archimandrite Philaret, in a petition submitted, probably on November 19, to Metropolitan Ambrose, wrote: Your Eminence Vladyka! Most Gracious Archpastor! By the will of Your Eminence, and in accordance with the desire of some others expressed during the Academic tests, I revised the Notes on the book of Genesis, which served as the basis for my lessons on this book in the first Academic course; have also been reviewed and approved by the Censorship Committee, and are fully prepared for publication. Out of respect for the fact that this experience is the firstfruits of fruits, in accordance with the Highest will of the newly formed St. Petersburg Theological Academy, I had the desire to dedicate this book to the High Name of His Imperial Majesty. A case that can especially justify this courage, in my opinion, is the real return of His Imperial Majesty to the Fatherland. Common joy gives everyone the right to express their zeal for its Originator through feasible means. To Your Eminence, as the Chief Head of the Academy, while submitting both the book itself and my assumption about it to your discretion, if this latter is not considered inappropriate, I most humbly ask for your Archpastoral permission and intercession. Your Eminence Vladyka! Most Gracious Archpastor! Your Eminence, the lowest novice of the Academy, Rector Archimandrite Filaret. November... day 1815. On the petition, at the top, Metropolitan Ambrose wrote: “November 20, 1815. For execution, forward in relation to the Chief Prosecutor.” On the same day, November 20, Metropolitan Ambrose, in letter No. 188, to Prince A.N. Golitsyn, wrote in his own hand: “A book containing explanatory notes on the book of Genesis, composed by Fr. Rector Philaret, finding it worthy of both dedication to the high name of His I.V., and publication for school and general benefit, forwarding it to your Excellency and humbly asking with due reverence to present it to His Majesty, as the first fruit of his Christ-loving new planting. And at the same time, would it be objectionable to you, M.G., to seek the highest permission to publish it at the expense of the academic schools” 250. Prince A. N. Golitsyn, forwarding to the commission a manuscript entitled “Notes on the Book of Genesis,” explained in a proposal “that the Sovereign Emperor deigned to order the printing of this manuscript, at the expense of the amount under the jurisdiction of the commission, in as many copies as needed at the immediate discretion of the commission.” The commission, in a journal dated March 28, 1816, decided (Article VII): 1, notes on the book of Genesis proposed by Prince A. N. Golitsyn, in fulfillment of the Highest Will of the Sovereign Emperor, to print 1200 copies, at the expense of the commission, in one of the free printing houses in St. Petersburg; 2, the commission submits the order on this subject to him, Prince A.N. Golitsyn 251. December 30th. Draft regulations on students of district and parish schools who do not have a way to support themselves, compiled by Archimandrite Philaret The external board of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, when presented on December 30, 1815, No. 212, submitted to the commission of theological schools, for its discretion, a draft regulation on students of district and parish schools who do not have a way to support themselves, drawn up by the rector of the academy, Archimandrite Philaret, the basis of which were: 1) regulations on students, to the maintenance themselves without a method, printed during the previous publication of school regulations and 2) the highest approved report of the commission of theological schools, March 18, 1810, with the addition of new assumptions made as a result of newly discovered circumstances and needs. Draft regulations on students of district and parish schools who do not have a way to support themselves. Outlines of the rules on the formation of theological schools §§ 22 and 38 are given to the Commission of Theological Schools to draw up a special regulation on students of district and parish schools who do not have a way to support themselves. The commission, satisfied with this reasoning, found three types of students who could not support themselves: The first class includes those students who are not only unable to study in schools on their own, but on whom the food of an orphaned family, left after the death of their father, also depends; the second includes students who do not have any close relatives who require help with food, but cannot feed themselves; The third group includes students whose fathers, having many sons studying in schools, are not able to support more than one of them in school. About the students on whom the food of an orphaned family depends For the education of clergy and clergy orphans, and together for the feeding of elderly and crippled clergy and clergy and for the care of widows, according to a custom introduced from ancient times, the Right Reverend diocesan bishops used the following means: 1) Male children, either those who had not yet entered schools, or those dismissed from them due to their lack of confidence in success, were assigned to clergy positions, learning everything that a cleric should know when ordaining him to the surplice; and issuing decrees from the consistory to the illiterate, with the obligation to learn everything necessary for the clerk, for a certain time, which was limited by age and ability. 2) Children who were orphaned while studying at the seminary, firstly, were accepted into government support when they were noticed to have an excellent ability for science; secondly, in the place of their father, from among the worthy candidates, the one who, being in a kinship union with the orphaned family, or without that, was predominantly chosen to take on the philanthropic responsibility of feeding and resting the remaining male children after the predecessor, until placement, and the female ones until marriage. 3) In the event of a shortage of those capable and willing to take a priestly or deaconal position, with the obligation to support an orphaned family, the diocesan bishops promoted a sexton or sexton of the same church to a priest or deacon, and a clerical vacancy was provided, with full income from the church and from the land, for the eldest son of the orphaned family until he reached his full age and until he studied; or they appointed a clerk who would undertake to help the orphans. The same means is used to feed orphans, which remains after the death of the clergy. 4) Widows sometimes received places in the mallow shop, or their closest relatives took them in for food. 5) To replace the elderly and crippled clergy and clergy, worthy candidates were predominantly either their relatives or strangers, but they were obligated to provide them until death with everything necessary for life and peace. The commission, recognizing the usefulness of these means in the new formation of theological schools, found them joint, with the following limitation: Since the priestly places, according to the assumption of the committee, should be filled by students or students who have completed their course of study, it would be unfair to subject them to the need to receive the places they deserve only with the obligation to support others. On the other hand, deaconal, clergy and mallow places can contribute to the maintenance of students belonging to the 1st department and to avert the poverty of widows remaining with children, if the following measure is taken for this purpose. For male orphans, provide deacon and clergy positions, from which two-thirds of the total income will be used to support them in schools and other orphans of the same family; the remaining third from the deacon's place to the priest, and from the clergy to the deacon and cleric, in respect of their special labors in the church, in the absence of a deacon, or a second cleric. But so that such provision of places does not cause difficulties in church service and correction of worldly needs, then provide the above-mentioned places only in churches where either many clergy exist, or, although it is a single-clergy church, there is a deacon with it 252. About students who cannot support themselves, and about students whose fathers, having many sons studying in schools, are not able to support more than one of them in school For these students, bursas are established at district and parish schools, under the order of the seminary board and the main department of the right reverend diocesan bishop. The purpose of establishing bursas is to provide poor students with assistance in their maintenance. The abbots and the brethren of the monasteries entrusted to them, out of gratitude for the benefits of spiritual enlightenment, expressed a desire to annually devote part of their income to helping students. The example of the monks was followed by some of the white clergy. Based on the evidence that such offerings constitute at the same time both benefit to the poor and service to faith and humanity, which always has a need for worthy servants of the faith, we can hopefully assume that these offerings will continue, both from the clergy and from other classes. Thus, two sources of funds are opened for the preparation of bursas: annual contributions from monasteries and temporary offerings from other willing donors. Based on the knowledge, however, from experience itself that such offerings, in comparison with the number of poor disciples, are very insufficient to help them, the third source of the amounts required for this is discovered in the highest right granted to the churches for the exclusive sale of sheets containing the so-called prayer of permissiveness, and aureoles given to the deceased 253 . But as experience has also shown that this third source does not provide the required amount of sums for the maintenance of all poor students, and is associated with the inevitable difficulty that the arrival of different times and uncertain in quantity brings: then the fourth source of sums for the maintenance of the bursas relies on a constant regular salary. 1) The bursae receive annual contributions from the monasteries in the following order: the desired one of the abbots presents to the diocesan bishop the amount of the amount that the monastery entrusted to him can determine for the maintenance of poor students, with the designation, if desired, of the school for which it should be used, or without designation; This presentation, with the resolution of the Right Reverend, is submitted to the seminary board, which from now on annually accepts the said contribution, or appoints its delivery to one of the schools under its jurisdiction, depending on local convenience. 2) Any contribution exceeding a hundred-ruble amount, upon its first appointment, is submitted by the seminary board to the academic board for reporting to the Commission of Theological Schools. Do the same with the annual contributions of other willing donors. About one-time offerings. 3) One-time donations go either to the seminary board or to the heads of lower schools, who are obliged to then let the seminary board know about them. 4) They are recorded in the general income and expenditure book of the bursas, which is kept by the seminary board. 5) It depends on the will of the donors whether to appoint or not to appoint the school and students on whom the amount should be used. 6) By agreement of the donors and the seminary board, these amounts can either be allocated for expenses, or deposited in the Bank for use on interest for poor students. In this latter case, the tickets are kept by the seminary board. 7) The Commission of Theological Schools is informed about significant donations. About the income from the sale of sheets of permission prayer and whisks. 8) These incomes, as they are collected, go to the seminary board from the consistory of the same diocese. 9) Immediately upon receipt, they are recorded in the general income and expenditure book of the bursas, and are kept inviolable until the end of the year: at the end of the year, the seminary board, having considered all the amounts received at different times during the year, lists them for use by the bursas for the next year, in addition to the amounts received annually in a certain quantity. This must be observed so that the board manages the amounts only actually in its hands, and so that, when appointing students, it does not find it difficult to satisfy them in the event of a slow receipt of orphan money from the consistory. 10) The consistory, together with the money, delivers to the seminary board information about the number of whisks and sheets sold, and the seminary board, at the end of the year, presents this to the academic, and the same to the Commission of Theological Schools, for consideration with the information received from the printing houses. About the permanent salary of the burs. 11) The Committee on the Improvement of Theological Schools, in the intention of making it easier for clergy and clergy to bring children, especially minors, to schools, approximately believed to establish 30 parish schools in each diocese. But with the increase, especially since some time, of children who require not only schools and mentors, but also food itself, the need arises not so much to increase the number of schools, but to give schools ways to provide poor children, along with instruction, with maintenance, or some help with that. Since to this day the number of parish schools in any diocese does not extend to 20, the Commission established and the Highest approved the salary of 10 parish schools appointed in the staff of the Committee on the Improvement of Theological Schools, which in the diocese of St. Petersburg is 6000, in other dioceses of the first category - 5500, of the second category - 4750, of the third - 4,000 rubles will be used to support poor students in district and parish schools. 12) These salaries cannot be divided into dioceses exactly according to the approximate staff indicated here, since the number of poor students in different dioceses is very different. 13) The board of each district academy, having collected information about the number of poor students in each diocese of its district and about the income collected from them, in accordance with this information, makes a schedule of the above-mentioned staff amounts into permanent salaries of the bursas and submits them for consideration to the Commission of Theological Schools, by whose approval the approximate staffs are turned into real and permanent ones, until circumstances change. 14) If, after the approval of these salaries, the uncertain income of the students increases, the seminary board may, accordingly, with the consent of the academic, increase the number of students or half-students, if it finds a need; if the income is in excess, then it is obliged to provide a reduction in permanent salaries, the amount of which in this case will again return to its original purpose, by multiplying the number of parish schools. 15) Students classified as bursars are divided into bursaks and half-bursaks. 16) The salary required to maintain a student in the diocese of St. Petersburg, according to calculations based on experience itself, should extend to 110 rubles; in other dioceses it may be a fifth, or a fourth, the share less than that allotted by the staff to a seminarian. A half-student in the St. Petersburg diocese is entitled to 75 rubles, in others - half as much as a student. 17) Students who have neither parents nor close sufficient relatives, or children of those who are burdened with a family of clerks are accepted as students; and children of clergymen of small-parish churches, or those burdened with families, can also be accepted as half-bursaks: if their poverty is known, if they are reliable in school, and if there are vacancies. 18) Following the distribution of cash benefits in proportion to the salaries and income of the students, the remaining poor students are either assigned to clerk positions, or places are provided for them, in accordance with the 1st section of this regulation, or they continue to study in anticipation of a vacancy for a student or half-student. 19) Vacancies of this kind can open up: a) by transferring students and half-students from the district school to the seminary and placing them on the seminary staff, b) by providing them with clerkships, c) by expelling them from the school, d) by death. 20) When each vacancy opens, the rector presents to the seminary board one, two, or three orphans who deserve to be placed in it. When choosing from many poor ones, the most reliable students are preferred, which the board ascertains either by the certificate of the rector, or by direct testing of the student, if local circumstances allow. 21) In the case of many students in need of support, the board may reduce the salaries of some students in favor of other poor ones; for example, divide two salaries of a full student into three, or the salary of one full student into two half students. 22) Students who have just entered the parish school should not be accepted into the number of students until some consideration of their reliability, except in cases of complete helplessness. 23) Money assigned to students and half-students is never given to them. 24) If they are placed in residence at the seminary, then the next amount on them can be added to the amount allocated for the maintenance of seminarians, and together with this can be used under the direct order of the seminary board through the steward of the seminary. To make writing easier, it can also be included in the seminar report as an extraordinary one, with an indication of its purpose. 25) For the maintenance of students living in apartments, money is given, at the end of each, or after two months, to their relatives or apartment owners with a receipt. But this can only be done when necessary; Primarily, one should try to provide for the overall residence and maintenance of students, where it is convenient to do so. 26) When establishing the joint residence of students and half-students, observe: a) that the main and central bursa be either in connection with the seminary, or close to it, for the most convenient supervision by the seminary board; b) so that the number of such establishments is not large: for their multiplication increases the costs of establishing and maintaining houses, and is associated with other disadvantages. 27) Poor students of schools where there are no bursas, when appointed to bursaks or half-bursaks, are transferred by the seminary board to schools where they are; for the proximity of the school to the place of birth is important only for the student on his own. 28) The management of bursas not connected to the seminary is entrusted to the rector together with the inspector. They can also use other teachers to help them according to their ability, and sometimes one of the clergy according to their zeal, which will be accepted as a donation. 29) Half-bursaks placed in a common residence are satisfied with food from the prescribed salary, and students with clothing, depending on their need and according to the opportunity provided by the salary. More detailed instructions on this subject are provided to the seminary board, which, out of decency, will apply to it some economic rules set out in the statutes of the seminaries and will implement it, with the approval of the academic board. 30) To record the receipt and expenditure of bursak sums, there must be books of two kinds: a) the general receipt and expenditure book of the bursas in each seminary, divided into two parts, of which the first shows the balance from the past year and the receipt of various amounts in the current year, and the second shows the expenses, or sending them to private bursas under the control of the board; and b) the income and expenditure book of each individual bursa, the income of which consists of salaries sent from the seminary board, and the expenses are all payments either for the maintenance of students to their owners and relatives, or to various persons for purchases made for the maintenance of students who are in common residence. Amounts exceeding 25 rubles are issued only with a receipt in this book. At the beginning of each year, the first of these books is compiled, sealed and approved by the seal of the seminary board; and the second one, compiled for each individual bursa, is sealed by the rector and the inspector. At the end of the year, this latter in the original is submitted to the seminary board for revision, with the addition of a brief extract from it, signed by the rector and inspector. 31) However, the seminary board can provide rectors and superintendents of lower schools with receipts and expenditure books under its own seal and seal, if it deems it necessary. 32) Having examined the reports of individual bursas, the seminary board about the leaders who have earned approval through their trusteeship, or who require encouragement, makes a presentation to the diocesan bishop and, with his approval, makes appropriate instructions to them. 33) A list of information about the state of the bursas, at the end of each year, will be presented from the seminary boards to the academic boards, and from these to the Commission of Theological Schools. Attached to this is the following: salary schedule for students: Salaries for the students of the St. Petersburg district, carried out by the academic board according to information received from seminaries The commission, at a meeting on January 15, 1816, considered “the draft regulations on students of district and parish schools who have no means of supporting themselves; compiled by the rector of the local academy, Archimandrite Philaret,” found, as explained in the journal of the same date, “useful”: 1) put it into effect in both open districts, with the addition of the following note: at the end of section 1 about the students on whom the food of the orphaned family depends. “The provision for the provision of places for these students is not provided as a universal measure; at the immediate discretion of the diocesan bishops, it is left to use this means where it is possible and convenient, both for the students and for those who are replacing their existing position in the churches; and, moreover, in such a way that through this we do not block the path to the taking of places by expelled disciples and clergy without a place.” 2) But how, between the means to support poor students, it is supposed that from among the 30 parish schools allocated for each diocese by the staff of the Highest, on the 26th day of June last 1808, the salaries of 10 schools in each diocese are supposed to be used to compile the permanent salaries of the bursas: then the commission, without itself proceeding with such an order, provided its member with the Privy Councilor Prince Golitsyn must first apply for this Highest permission for the following good reasons. a) It has been learned from experiments that parish schools currently cannot be multiplied to a deliberate number, partly due to the lack of decent premises, and partly due to the lack of other needs for their establishment in small towns and villages; For some reason, in the local and Moscow districts there are still nowhere even half the number of schools compared to the state 255, and consequently the staffing amount of 10 parish schools for each diocese remains free from its original purpose. b) With the increase in the number of students who require not only schools and mentors, but also food itself, the need arises not so much to multiply the number of schools, but to give schools ways to provide poor children with instruction and maintenance, or some assistance in this. e) The only income from the sale of whisks and permits allocated for the benefit of poor students, with the addition of some donations from various persons, is not determinable, but is insufficient for the number of poor students 256. Why is it necessary to resort to a permanent source to create a permanent staff? d) The amount from the shortage of 10 parish schools in each diocese is not required again from the treasury, since it is included in the Highest approved staff 257. e) If the uncertain income for the maintenance of poor students, made up from the sale of whisks and permits, and partly from donations from various persons, will be in excess; then the constant salaries from the shortage of schools can return to their original purpose of increasing the number of parish schools. Subsequently, according to the most submissive report of Prince A.N. Golitsyn, on February 21, 1816, the Sovereign Emperor deigned to command: For the reasons presented, instead of the 30 parish schools required by the state in each diocese, only 20 will be left from now on, and the salary of the remaining 10, in the amount of 70 thousand rubles, will be paid for maintenance poor students of district and parish schools, to strengthen the permanent salaries of the bursas for poor students. The commission, having heard the Highest Decree given in its name, on the conversion of the salaries of 10 parish schools in each diocese to permanent salaries of bursas for poor students of district and parish schools, immediately began to implement the draft regulations drawn up for students of the said schools and for this purpose, in a journal dated the 26th of the same February, appointed the number of students and half-students in the dioceses St. Petersburg and Moscow educational districts, the size of permanent salaries for them, and calculated how many rubles should be allocated per year to each seminary board of those districts and made an order to print the said project and send it to the appropriate authorities 258.
