I also acknowledge the assistance rendered my by Mr. Vilhjalmur Bjarnar, Curator of the Fiske Icelandic Collec­ tion at Cornell University and to Dr. Finnbogi Gudmunds­ son, Director of the National Library of Iceland. Numerous individuals in the Ministry of Culture and Education in Reykjavik were always willing to assist me in my research. Special thanks is due Hordur Larusson, Direc­ tor of the Division of Educational Research and Development. I am also indebted to many principals and teachers in Ice­ land. Special thanks is due Joan Allman for patience in typing the manuscript. My greatest debt is owed to my mother \vho always encouraged me in my endeavors and in whom all the best of Icelandic culture was found. Shortly before the completion iii of this study, she died. To her memory this work is ded­ icated in grateful thanks for the heritage she has passed down to me. iv PR;EFACE Materials for this dissertation were gathered at Cornell University where the resources of the Fiske Ice­ landic Collection, the largest library of Icelandic ma­ terials in North America, were made avc:.ilable for my use. Additional research was conducted in Iceland. Materials were gathered at The Ministry of Culture and Edu­ cation, The National Library of Iceland and various educa­ tional institutions. This was my fifth visit to Iceland, or perhaps more correctly, my fourth visit, because during the academic year 1961-62, I resided in Iceland as a teacher at the school operated by the United States Naval Station at Keflavik. During that year in Iceland, I visited numerous schools and made the acquaintance of sev­ eral educational leaders and teachers. This dissertation is the result, therefore, of a long-standing interest in education in Iceland. v VITA The author, George Hanson, is the son of George William and Vigdis (Gudmundsdottir) Hanson.

A Law Concerning the Compulsory School (Abridged) . 351 xi CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION For over eleven hundred years Icelanders have lived in Iceland--far to the north at "the gates of the world." They have preserved through centuries of poverty and great 1 hardships in a land" .•• only just habitable" a cultural heritage going back to the age of settlement. They created and preserved a literature which, according to Dr. Gabriel Turville-Petre of Oxford University" ... became the rich­ est and most varied of medieval Europe." 2 The cultural heritage which has come down to this generation is primarily a literary one. Painting and music are only recent developments. There are no ancient build- ings in Iceland, the oldest being only a few hundred years at the most--and they are very few. Yet almost every farm in Iceland has a historical heritage. Many such places still bear names which go back a thousand years and are often associated with figures mentioned in the sagas. 1sigurpur Thorarinsson, Island/Iceland (Munich: Hannes Reich Verlag, 1955) , unpaged. 2Gabriel Turville-Petre, Origins of Icelandic Lit­ erature (Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1953), p. 1. 1 2 Dr. Gylfi Th. Gislason, Minister of Culture and Education from 1956 to 1971 and one who has been deeply con- cerned about the preservation of the cultural heritage in an age of rapid social and technological change, has summed up this heritage as follows: The history of Iceland is unique in the history of western nations. It is not special because it is the history of one of the smallest nations inhabiting an independent modern state in our world. What makes it unique is the alteration there has been between splendor and humiliation, destitution and prosperity. At one time Iceland enjoyed freedom and self determination, while at another she had to suffer oppression and loss of liberty. The nature of the country, which enchants the people with its beauty and majesty, has at times been its most sworn enemy. But what is most remarkable about the history of Iceland is that it is not solely one of colonization, the establishment of an unusual state, its fall and restoration, a struggle against foreign domination and for improved welfare. It is pri­ marily a story of spiritual aspiration, of the splendid medieval culture of an independent and prosperous nation, of centuries-old juxtaposition of poverty and poetry, of amazingly varied modern culture in a small, sovereign technological state. The most notable thing about Iceland's history is that early in the Middle Ages there should have arisen in the country a special national identity, that there should have been preserved a special language and created a culture, which is Icelandic and has for nearly a thous­ and years had its own special characteristics. From all of this has arisen a culture, which is part of the flesh and blood of earlier generations and of them themselves, and which affords enjoyment and happi­ ness.3 The keen awareness of the cultural heritage is fur- ther appraised by Dr. Kristjan Eldjarn, President of Iceland 3 ' Gylfi Th.

  • Stefan Arnason's Lineage on His Father's Side
    Stefan Arnason’s lineage on his father’s side This is an edited and translated version of a lineage that Judith Fulford (née Arnason) got from the Íslendingabók (see glossary below). I’ve also combine this with information found in the Book of Settlements, the Sturlunga and Njall Sagas, and information on Geni. Please let me know if you spot any errors or other issues. (Jon) The idea was to take Stefan Arnason’s direct patrilineal line back as far as it would go –– a line of fathers and sons with the names highlighted in red. I’ve also added dates of key events in Iceland’s history to try to put some of these lives into the context of the times they lived in. 1 Stefan Arnason (1882 – 1956) Born: August 6, 1882. Died: December 17, 1956. Husband of Gudrun Sigurbjorg Arnason. In 1904 Stefan emigrated to Canada Father of Olof Gudrun Steeves, Einar Arni Arnason, Herman Arnason, Marvin Skafti Arnason, Katrin Margret Morgan, Valgier Snorri Arnason, Evelyn Ingibjorg Arnason, Mildred Lillian Hooke, Stephan Arnason, Anna Sigridur McLeod, Helen Donovan and Norman Gisli Arnason 2 Árni Jónatansson (1840 – 1921) Born: May 21, 1840 at Reykjadal.
