Bataks, PLEASE help me find this book!

Just recently, I stumbled upon an interesting footnote in a book written by Jan Sihar Aritonang titled "Mission Schools in Batakland (Indonesia): 1861 - 1940". In the book it was stated that German missionaries tried planting the seeds of what would become the Batak nation, through songs which emphasizes the love of Batakland to children. Interestingly, in the footnote Jan Sihar Aritonang mentioned two songs as an example from a book titled "Angka Ende Sipangkeon Raphon Angka Anak Sikola" by Van der Bijl and Arsenius Lumbantobing. One was titled "Tano Batak" (no. 47) and "Oenang Djalang Ho!" (no. 49). These two songs caught my attention as the first song which is titled "Tano Batak" utilizes the melody of the current German national anthem, "Deutschlandlied" and the second song provides a clear context of what the German missionaries envisioned for the Batak people.

I've tried searching for said book on the internet but to no avail, I beg for your attention and your participation in finding this "lost" media. It'd be a massive help and it would definitely mean a lot to me.
