Note 104 — Chapter VI · PROTESTANTISM AND PRIMARY INSTRUCTION. LUTHER AND COMENIUS.

The public school of the European type may be represented by a series of (3) pyramids, the second higher than the first, and the third higher than the second, each independent and complete in itself; while the public school of the American type is represented by a single pyramid in three sections. While in an English, French, or German town, public education is administered in three separate establishments, in an American town there is a single graded school that fulfills the same functions.
