Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Schools: Or What I Saw in the Schools of Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland The editor presents this volume of the "International Education Series" with some degree of confidence that the reader will find it the first attempt of its kind yet made that proves of real help in the school-room. Although much has been written and published regarding European schools, yet, on the whole, teachers have found little profit in reading it. Vague encomiums on the excellence of methods, sweeping criticisms on features that did not suit the taste of the writer, minute accounts of governmental provision for education, rules and regulations, arrangements for supervision - all these things have wearied the reader without furnishing him new ideas that he could use to advantage. Nor have the descriptions of buildings, statistics of attendance, illiteracy and such matters, although sometimes useful to stir up emulation, satisfied him. Volumes containing immense masses of information compiled from programmes and official regulations have been of still less use. The teacher turns away from such things, and asks for a book that will show him how to do his work of instruction in another and better manner than his own. He wishes to hear of methods, but not in a vague, general way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
