In the last line of the table are given the niimber of students in 

 Germán universities. The figures agree witli and confirm tbe results 

 of the war in Trance, but show the efíect upon France to have been 

 greater. Thus, there was for France a 15 per cent decrease in 1870 

 and 11 per cent increase in 1871, wile in Germany the decrease was 

 10 per cent and increase 24 per cent. 



STUDENTS ENROLLED IN HIGHER FRENOH 

 EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 



The nnmber of students enrolled in the diíferent branches of higher 

 education in France are given in table 7 for the years 1867 to 1873 

 inclusive. In the last column of table are the total number of students 

 for each year. In the first three years before the war (1867-69) there 

 was a general increase in number of university students, thenin 1870 

 a decrease of 15 per cent; in 1871 an increase begins and continúes 

 on the following two years. This decrease of 15 per cent in 1870 is 

 doubtless due to the war, and is more significant, as there was a conti- 

 nued increase the two years previous. The relative percentages for 

 students of the different branches are given for 1869 and 1870. The 

 students of theology, medicine and science were less in number in 

 1870 relative to their number in 1869, and therefore not affected.
