This document contains the sixth volume of the "International Series" of the "American Journal of Education." The "International Series" is devoted to the completion (as far as practicable) of subjects presented in the previous Series and a "Historical Survey of National Systems, Institutions, and Methods of Instruction" in the light which the former volumes of the Journal may contribute and the material brought together by the International Exposition of 1876 at Philadelphia is expected to furnish. Articles typically cover specific educational institutions, teaching and learning across education sectors, state education issues and activities, education legislation, foreign education, notable educators, professional development, and education history and progressive developments. [This volume was published Henry Barnard.]
