=, GERMAN UNIVERSITIES A Narrative Of Per
sonal Experience By James Morgan Hart
New York: G. p. Putnam's Sons. New
Orleans: Kahn & Co.
To all who are interested In the cause Of
higher education, and especially to all who
have sons to educate will the present volume
prove interesting and valuable. Written in
an exceedingly pleasant, chatty, and withal
scholarly manner, it gives thorough insight
into the peculiarities Of German student-life,
and the workings of the German University
system, its methods of instruction and discip-
line, practical suggestions as to the best
course to be pursued by the novice, statistics,
including schedule of studies, expenses OF
student life, ETC., etc.
Especially valuable are the chapters analyz-
ing and comparing the American, English and
German educational systems, the defects and
advantages Of each being exhibited with equal
clearness and candor, the verdict being fore
Swallowed in the significant facts that the only
English philologist Of reputation is German;
the only scientific grammars OF the English
language are by two Germans; the only crit
cal exposition of Angle Saxon poetry is by a
German, etc. The book is deficient in but
one respect, it lacks the copious index which
its varied contents require and merit.
