Reading edition
A very good account of this reform is given by Dr. Russell, German Higher Schools, ch. XX. See also Educational Review, September, 1900. The best and most comprehensive sketch of the “Berlin Conference of 1890” is contained in the Report of the Commissioner of Education, 1889–90, vol. I, pp. 343–398, by Charles Herbert Thurston of Cornell University.
