PREFATORY NOTE. 
The present little book, which is issued only in English, is an 
extract of a work on German Education, that has been edited by me, 
in conjunction with a large number of collaborators, for the International 
Exhibition in St. Louis, at the suggestion and with the support of 
the Prussian Minister of Education.®) The work is dedicated to 
His Majesty the Emperor, and treats, in four volumes divided ito 
six sections, of the Universities, the Secondary Schools, Elementary 
Education, the Technical High Schools, the High Schools for Special 
Subjects, and the Intermediate and Lower Technical Institutions. 
For further information on the subject the original work may be 
~onsulted. 
Some parts are a close translation of the corresponding chapters 
of Dr. v. Gizycki (A General View of the Elementary Schools) and 
of those of Professor von Dyck (Technical High Schools).
