the higher schools in the administrative educational district 

 (Academic) in which the University is located. 1 



Each University has also established a committee which seeks 

 to promote in every possible way the interests of foreign students 

 ("Comite de Patronage des etudiants etrangers"). The student 

 is strongly advised to supplement the necessarily limited informa- 

 tion contained in the following pages by consulting these various 

 handbooks, and, in case of doubt on any point, to apply directly 

 to one of the two bureaux of information indicated above, or to the 

 Deans of the various Faculties or the Directors of the various 

 Schools, or to the several Committees of Patronage. 



The educational data to be described for the intending American 

 student in France can best be grouped under the following headings: 



I. Organization of the Various Institutions of Higher Learning : 



1. The Universities. 



2. Other Institutions. 



1 For further information upon the Universities of France, and upon the 

 educational system, consult the works in the following list, prepared by Pro- 

 fessor ROLLO W. BROWN, of Wabash College, at the request of the Editor of 

 this volume: 



E. Delalain: "Annuaire de PInstruction publique." (Librairie Delalain 

 Frres, Paris.) This volume not only serves as a directory of the French 

 universities, but provides a convenient view of the entire scheme of French 

 education. 



L. Liard: "L'Enseignement supe"rieur en France." (Armand Colin, 

 Paris. Two volumes.) A very complete and a thoroughly sound historical 

 study of French higher education, by the head of the University of Paris. 



H. Vuibert: "Annuaire de la Jeunesse." (Librairie Vuibert, Paris.) 

 This volume is indispensable to the American student who wishes to be informed 

 on French educational organization. Ordinarily it contains more than a 

 thousand pages of well-indexed material. 



Few books have been written in English on French education, and most of 

 these have dealt chiefly with the primary (utilitarian) or secondary schools. 

 The following volumes will help the student to form a notion of some aspects 

 of French educational methods and spirit: 



English Board of Education: " Special Reports on Educational Subjects." 

 (Wyman and Sons, London.) Volumes 2,18, and 24. Volume 2 is devoted in 

 part to French universities; volume 18 discusses the primary schools; and 

 volume 24 deals exclusively with the secondary schools. 



Frederic Ernest Farrington: "The Public Primary Schools of France." 

 (Columbia University Press.) Same Author: "French Secondary Schools." 

 (Longmans, Green and Company.) These two books give a complete account 

 of French education below the university. 



A. L. Guerard: "French Civilization in the Nineteenth Century." (Cen- 

 tury Company.) Chapter VII gives a brief historical view of French education. 

 Rollo Walter Brown: "How the French Boy Learns to Write." A study in 

 the teaching of the mother tongue. This volume acquaints the student with 

 present-day French methods of teaching language and literature.
