FINEGAN'S

NEW YORK
SCHOOL LAW

By THOMAS E. FINEGAR. M A., Chief of the Law
Division of State Education Department.

NEARLY one-half of this book has just been re

written, so that the book has been revised to date. The appendix contained in the old edition and all dead matter have been eliminated. The book now contains all live law and such law is incorporated in its proper place in the book.

It is written especially to meet the wants of school offers and techers and treats clearly and compre hensively the questions which they must meet daily in their work.

It is used as a text book in nearly all of the state normal schools and in a large number of the training classes.

It contains over 400 pages, le printed on good paper in clear type, is well bound, and has a complete topical index.

Trustees have authority under the law to purchase this book and pay for it from the funds of the district. It then becomes the property of the district. Many boards of trustees purchase a sufficient number of coples to put one in the hands of each member of the board, the clerk and the principal.

The Publisher's Page

IN the January number Prof. A. W. Trettien of the Department of Education, State Normal School, Oshkosh, Wis., will begin an important series of articles on the practical application of psychology in the school room. The first article will be of interest to all kindergarten teachers, the title being "The Kindergarten from the Standpoint of Genetic Psychology." This will be followed in succeeding numbers by two articles on "The Psychology of Language," showing the principles which should govern languageteaching in the grades and high school. There will be two articles on The Manual Arts" and two on "The Psychology of Nature Study and Science." The last of the series will be a timely treatise of "The Psychology of Religious Instruction."

[ocr errors]

We also expect to publish in January an article by Charles C. Boyer, Ph. D., vice-principal of the Keystone State Normal School, Pennsylvania, entitled "In Tune with the Infinite in Teaching."

The history of New York State by Edward S. Ellis, which will be published in installments in AMERICAN

EDUCATION beginning next month, has many features to commend it to readers. Besides giving the salient incidents relating to the State from its discovery by Verrazani to the present time, the series contains much information which we believe has been published in no other history. Teachers of other States should be interested in these articles because New York occupies an important position in the history and development of the country. A State that leads all others in population, in wealth and in enterprise, which has furnished six presidents and seven vice-presidents to the nation, whose chief city is the metropolis of America,-such a commonwealth has a record of profound interest and of exceeding value to the student of history.

"What to Read in the Third and Fourth Grades" will be the subject of the second article by Carl Holliday. "The Teaching of Denominate Numbers" will be discussed by Wm. F. White in the third article of his series. Miss E. Helen Hannah's next lesson in psychology will be devoted to the study of " Sensations." Other
