Some Articles in this distribution of Sciences will need observation.
Considering that many people have made their annotations about the subjects that were t be taught in our school, I believe it is important to consider that they were not completely defined. It would be interesting to investigate how this list actually developed with time because all of the aforementioned obesrvations are useless if we do not dig deeper into this subject.

Some Articles in this distribution of Sciences will need observation.
Taking into account that everyone is making annotations about the subjects and how these might or might not have been influenced by the many events of the period, I think it is important to look at the closing line of the section. What does observation here mean? Does observation mean direct changes in what was written? Does it mean that the Commissioners did not agree on this curriculum and the classes taught? It is necessary to look into history and know what was actually taken from this first report in order to actually give value to all of the above annotations. The only thing we have done here is speculate on why these subjects were originally planned.

Rhetoric
It is interesting to see that Rhetoric is considered a formal subject, just like it was in the ancient city-state of Athens. It was an imperative tool for men that dove into the area of politics, whereas nowadays it is not formally taught.
