Excerpt from German Letters on English Education: Written During an Educational Tour in 1876 Being relieved from all official duties, and having gained an amount of educational knowledge such as few men can boast of, Dr. Wiese last year again visited this country for the sole purpose of seeing what progress had been made in its educational development, for he still follows with loving interest the course taken by the educational movements both in Germany and in England, being convinced that a nation's moral and intellectual well-being mainly depends upon its education. He thus came among us enriched with all his official experience, and at an age when illusions have given way to sober re¿ection. The whole of last summer he devoted to visiting all classes of English schools, attending meet ings of teachers, conversing with men of all shades of opinions on educational matters, and, in short, availing himself of every opportunity of gathering information. By this means he has been enabled to give to the world an unbiassed picture of our educational condition, which though not free from serious defects, yet contains ele ments which justify the hope that at no distant time the education of English youths will be equal, if not superior, to that at present given in the best educated countries of Europe.
