The Normal School at Paris

Abstract

IN connection with the celebrations of the centenary of the foundation of the École Normale in Paris, referred to at the time in these columns (vol. li. p. 613), a ponderous tome has been published¹ containing the complete history of the school, and details concerning the most renowned of its alumni. Opportunity is thus afforded of giving a sketch of the development of a school which has played an important part in the history of education for nearly a century, and which has been the training college of many of the most distinguished Professors in France.
