Henry Barnard (1811-1900)

Brubacker, John S. ed. Henry Barnard on Education New York: McGraw-Hill, 1931. Twenty pages of biography, then excerpts from Barnard's reports and writ­ings. Nicely organized under such topics as urbanization, education of the very young, textbooks, and women as teachers. Very useful work. Modest index.
