from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oscar Busch , also Oskar Busch , (born January 27, 1830 in Dresden , † 1916 ) was a German teacher and author. He was a professor at the St. Afra State School in Meißen .

Life

After attending school in his hometown, he attended the teacher training college and graduated as Dr. phil. In 1856 he got his first job as a teacher at the Krausesche Institute in Dresden. On April 28, 1862, Oscar Busch was appointed the 9th (and thus last) senior teacher at the Royal State School in Meißen, where he later worked as the fifth professor and class teacher at the senior secondary school until 1874.

During this time he published several English textbooks, some of which appeared in several editions. His best-known work was the Handbook of English Comprehensive Language , which he had edited together with Henry Skelton according to a new and simultaneously simplified plan. In addition, Oscar Busch published on the handicraft in antiquity.

In 1874 Oscar Busch went to Chemnitz as Vice-Rector and later as Rector of the Royal High School in the city of Plauen in the Saxon Vogtland , where he worked until his death in 1916. In his will, he donated large sums of money to the two schools where he worked, such as 5000 Reichsmarks for the state school in Meißen.
