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).
