Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Schools In the pages that follow there has been no attempt at comprehensive accounts of the educational institutions named therein. Even had the requisite space for such treatment been available it would have been foreign to the purpose of the book itself. That purpose, briefly stated, was to supply a readable, though necessarily superficial description of nine American preparatory schools, touching but lightly on their scholastic side, yet giving within certain prescribed limits such impressions as the average observer would obtain in the course of a visit to each, together with some little account of their history in each case. The most of readers will probably find themselves more or less familiar with the history and customs of at least one school among the nine, but few persons, it is probable, are equally well acquainted with them all.
