3. Works Having Particular Reference to Jesuit Education.
Paulsen, F., Geschichte des gelehrten Unterrichts auf den deutscken Schulen und Universitäten vom Ausgang des Mittelalters bis zur Gegenwart. Leipsic, Veit and Co., 1885; second edition in two volumes, 1896 1897.
Dr. Paulsen is one of the leading Professors of the University of Berlin. Of the present work the Report of the Commissioner of Education (18961897, I, p. 199) says: "It is a most thorough historical review of higher education known in the educational literature of any country." The chapter on the colleges of the Society and the educational labors of the Jesuits (vol. 1, pp. 379432) is far more thorough, more independent, and more impartial, than most books written on the Jesuits by non-Catholics.
Schmid, K. A., Geschichte der Erziehung vom Anfang bis auf unsere Zeit. 5 volumes in 10 parts, by a number of scholars and educators. Stuttgart, Cotta, 1884 —1901 (Part 3 of volume V, which will complete this great history of education, is not yet out).
On Jesuit education see volume III, Abteilung 1, pp. 1 109 (by Prof. Dr. Müller of Dresden); pp. 159 175 ("Jesuit Colleges in France," by Dr. E. von Sallwürk, Karlsruhe). Volume IV, Abteilung 1, pp. 455-467; 538543. Volume V, Abteilung 2, pp. 176 221 ("Jesuit Education since 1600; Suppression and Restoration of the Society; the Revised Ratio Studiorum," by Dr. von Sallwürk). The articles on the Jesuit schools are not free from some serious misinterpretations of the Ratio Studiorum. Especially Dr. Müller has misunderstood and rendered falsely several passages. In other cases, he applies to the secular students of Jesuit Colleges rules which are only for the younger members of the Society engaged in studies ("scholastics").
