The result was that the class division was reduced from 100 to 70 students, more than 900 teachers and more female teachers were hired, the teaching time for the students was increased and the teachers' salaries were increased significantly in accordance with the previous education of the elementary school teachers.
Weygoldt created with support from some district school boards and some of its staff from the school inspector for all elementary schools in Baden lesson plans , to increase the quality of teaching. As a result, the elementary school students got a clearer and more engaging lesson than was previously usual.

This compulsory vocational school was approved by the second chamber of the Baden assembly of estates on June 30, 1898. Weygoldt's demand to extend this compulsory vocational schooling to girls was also approved by the Second Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly in 1902.
