Book Description
Excerpt from Latin-American Universities and Special Schools In referring to universities I have consistently designated them by the name of the city in which they are located, although that is not always their official and corporate name. The ecclesiastical founda tions of colonial times uniformly bore the name of a saint: San Marcos, at Lima; San Felipe, at Santiago de Chile; San Francisco Xavier, at Sucre, etc. In very few cases have the old names remained. Some institutions have received the name of the country, as the Uni versity of Chile; others the name of the city, as University of Cor doba. In order to avoid confusion and to indicate clearly the location of the institutions I have applied to each the name of the city.

Book Description
Excerpt from Latin American Secondary Schools: Courses of Study The number of students coming from the Latin American countries to continue their studies in institutions of the United States has been increasing greatly during the last four years. With the purpose of facilitating the process of their admission to colleges or technical schools, the Section of Education of the Pan American Union has prepared this monograph. The aim has been to present in a concrete and clear manner the primary and second ary school preparation which these students have had in their respective countries. This is, therefore, a cross-section of the public. School systems of the Latin American republics, showing the place of secondary education in its relation to primary and higher education. The important facts presented under each country are: grades (or years) covered by primary school; secondary school course, specifying subjects, periods per week, length of recitation period, length of school year, and relation of the secondary school course to higher studies. Incidentally a few other facts, which may be of interest to the student of School Administration, have been added whenever it has been pos sible to obtain them; using the latest official data available.

Book Description
This volume is the result of personal observation and investigation. During the latter part of 1911 and the first part of 1912 the author traveled in almost all the countries of Latin America, studying the institutions of higher and special education. The author visited practically all the universities and a great many normal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural schools, with the ambition of observing at first-hand their organization, administration, curricula, methods, and physical equipment. In addition to interviews with administrative officers, instructors, and students, the author gathered all the printed matter available, such as official reports, curricula, laws, and statutes of the institutions, historical notes, university and student publications, and statistical memoranda. Even for institutions not visited the author has had access in most cases to original official reports. It would therefore be useless to append a detailed bibliography, since it could only be an enumeration of university annuals and similar publications. The present treatise lays no claim to completeness. It is a general survey of the whole wide subject of higher and special education in Latin America, and is given to the public in the hope of conveying a comprehensive idea of Latin-American educational institutions and of provoking more detailed studies in an interesting field. An index is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 71 plates.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

Book Description
Excerpt from A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges It was found that my dear and honoured master had left a writ ten request that his work should be completed by me, in consul tation with his colleagues, Professors Frederic De Forest Allen and Clement Lawrence Smith. A month had scarcely passed when scholars everywhere had another heavy loss to mourn in the sudden death of Professor Allen. Almost immediately after wards, Professor Smith left this country, to take charge for a year of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, but not be fore we had agreed that circumstances required the early publica tion of the book, notwithstanding his absence. I was thus deprived of two eminent counsellors, whose knowledge and experience would have been of inestimable assistance.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Imperative Needs for the Study of Hispanic, American History in Our Schools and Colleges Of these twenty republics of Hispanic America, some, of their own initiative, may never progress very far beyond the stage to which they have already attained; others as Argentine, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, and Cuba have already acquired new importance in the eyes of the world. But aside from individual countries, the Hispanic American republics, taken collectively, or in groups - as Argentine, Brazil, and Chile, which form the famous A. B. C. confederation - have most certainly assumed a very important position in the world today which gives promise of a much greater importance in the years to come. If for no other reason, so great an area and so thinly populated, where such vast natural resources, of which other nations are in need, can be found comparatively untouched, is sure to exercise some day a strong balance of power. The last generation witnessed the rise of the United States of America to the highest pinnacle of power and influence; it is no wild stretch of the imagination to point out the possibility of a corresponding development of Hispanic America in the next few generations. So much for Hispanic America in general and for its potential possibilities. It is the purpose of this paper, however, to show, in the first place, the relation between the historical development of Hispanic America and the expansion and development of European civilization in general, and, in the second place, to explain the particular interest and connection between certain important but often over-looked facts in Hispanic American history and other better known ones in the historical development of the United States of America.
