Martha Tucker Stephenson

more unified. The writer discusses needed changes and additions to the curriculum of the secondary, elementary and continuation schools.

OUTLINES IN DICTIONARY STUDY FOR

GRADES 4-7, by Anna L. Rice, principal of Lincoln school, Springfield, Mass. These outlines have been prepared for the use of teachers in grades 4-7 inclusive, and cover as much of the subject

of dictionary study as can profitably be taught to pupils of these grades. The pupils of the fourth grade can do the work herein outlined and it seems wise to lay the necessary foundation for more advanced work in this grade. If the work outlined for each grade is thoroughly done, pupils completing the seventh grade should be able to use the dictionary and other books of reference with a considerable degree of ease and intelligence. Cloth, 77 pages, price 60 cents. The Gregg Publishing Co., New York, Chicago, Boston.

PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN GEOGRAPHY, by Ellsworth Huntington, research associate in geography, Yale University and Sumner W. Cushing, late head of the department of geography in the State Normal School of Salem, Mass. The purpose of this book is, first, to set forth the great principles of geography in its human aspects; second, to provide a comprehensive, but easily taught textbook for students who have reached an age when they begin to think for themselves; and, third, to furnish to normal school students and to teachers in elementary schools a book which will give them a solid grounding in the human relationships which they are eager to teach. The method of the book is to take up first the physical back ground, and then to plunge directly into the main thing that is the relation of the physiographic environment to man's activities. This volume makes an ideal textbook for college work for it reveals new educational possibilities in the study of geography, and gives a solid grounding in the human relationships which many students will later wish to teach. It provides a comprehensive and easily taught text for normal school classes

and it is an invaluable reference book for teachers of elementary geography, giving just the knowledge necessary to make the subject live. This book is

unique in that it calls for an unusual amount of thought and activity on the part of the pupils. Questions, exercises and problems are added at the end of each chapter. Cloth, 430 pages, 6" x 9", profusely illustrated, price $3.50. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 432 Fourth avenue, New York.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING AND STUDY, by A. S. Edwards, professor of psychology, University of Georgia. The present volume is a rewriting of manuscript which the writer has used for sometime as part of his lectures to students in educational psychology. The aim is especially to show how the results of general psychology and experimental psychology and allied sciences can be put into use by the teacher and the student in the problems of learning and of study. It has been the purpose of the writer to deal with the problem of education from the point of view of economy in learning

and study. The student should be intereşted because his problem is to know how to learn and to study most effectively. The teacher should be interested because all teaching must be true to the laws of learning and of study and should not conflict with them. If teaching does conflict with the laws of learning, it is relatively ineffective. Fundamental to knowing how to teach is knowing how to help the the student to learn. Questions and suggestions for study are found at the end of each chapter. This book will prove highly suggestive to all students of educational problems and should be in the hands of every progressive teacher. Cloth, 239 pages, price $1.80. Warwick and York, Inc., Balti

tory As Past Ethics." For a quarter of a century Myers' "Medieval and Modern History" has been the standard text in its field. The first revised edition was published in 1905. In this second revised edition, necessitated by the events of the past few years, the original text has been carefully revised to show that the conflict was the inevitable culmination of the struggle between the principles of divine right autocracy and the principles of self-government that began in England in the 17th century. At the same time it has been compressed in order to make possible, without undue enlargement of the book, chapters on the background, the events, and the results of the World War. Many new

Four Things

Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true;
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow-men sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.
-Henry Van Dyke.
