Excerpt from The Making of Citizens: A Study in Comparative Education
Which is the better educational system - that of Germany or of England?
Time may perhaps make such a question sensible, but as long as national characteristics persist, so long will national ideals vary.

Excerpt from The Making of Citizens: A Study in Comparative Education
During the last twenty years an enormous amount of material on the educational systems of Europe and America has been collected and published by various Governments, as well as by private persons. Hitherto, however, there has been no attempt made to collect and present this material in a systematic form to the English reader; although M. Levasseur has done this for the French, and several writers have performed a similar duty for the German, reader.
The preparation of this work has proved a heavy task, and I trust that my effort will be received as an earnest attempt to place before my readers a complete and accurate account of the present position of education in the four principal countries of the world.
There is one point I am anxious to make clear: I have placed as my aim, not the compilation of sets of comparable and scientifically accurate statistics, for I recognise the futility, and, indeed, impossibility of such a task as that. My purpose has been rather to utilise statistics as a means to an end - and that end is the presentation of a reasonably clear and well-defined set of pictures illustrating the systems of education at work in these countries. Statistics are used as guides, not gauges.
