This document contains the fifth 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. This volume contains contributions to the advancement of the kindergarten and of principles and methods of child culture. [This volume was published by the Office of American Journal of Education.]
