This is that School to which the _Laplanders_ ow their Progress in the knowledg and love of Christian Religion, which appears from those many useful and eminent Persons who have bin there bred; also the success may be seen from the testimonials of the Examiners, who were constituted in the same year that the School was endow’d by the aforesaid Roial Charter, the words are related by _Brazius_ as follow,
_We, whose names are underwritten, do testify that we were called by the Reverend and Learned_ M. Olaus _our Pastor of the Church of_ Uma, _to be present at the examination of the Laplandish Youth frequenting the School of_ Lyksa _in the Province of_ Uma; _we also testify that we did hear them examined by their Rector our aforesaid Pastor. First, they altogether sang the Psalms of_ David _translated into the Swedish language, as they are now used in the Church: next they all, and singular repeted the_ Primer, _containing not only the Elements of Speech, but the Lords Praier, ten Commandments, Apostles Creed, the words used in administring the Sacraments of Baptism, and the Lords Supper; also the Graces before and after meat, together with the Morning and Evening Praiers. This Book they all read according to the manner prescribed in other Schools, and the more ingenious of them did distinctly and without hesitation repete the little Catechism made by_ Luther: _Besides this, they read the Gospels for Sundaies and Holy-daies as they are published in the Swedish tongue, this was the task of all the Scholars. Only 8 of them being of slower parts, did nevertheless emulate the more ingenious according to their abilities. Now they all begin to learn the Fundamentals in the Laplandish Idiom, that they may instruct their Country-men in their own mother tongue. This school exercise and the fruit arising from thence as it exceeded our expectation, to see the illiterate Youth in a short time by the blessing of God, learn the Principles of our salvation, which better Scholars have bin much longer in attaining to, so ought we to give singular thanks to Gods who hath made their endevors so successful. Nor must we omit the deserved Commendation of those pious men, who by their bountiful largesses founded and endowed the School, and at this time maintain it; altho for the reward of their piety must expect the blessing of God, according as he hath promised. Witness our hands and seals. Dated in the place aforesaid_ Ann. 1634. Jacobus Andreæ Buræus. Petrus Jonæ. Andreas Hacquini. Jacobus Nicolai. Olaus Olai.
