The numerous il­lus­tra­tions in this volume are of a practical nature, being generally diagrams, charts, and simple devices, such as a teacher may easily draw upon a blackboard to illustrate the teaching of geography, and the book will be received as an excellent addition to the aids which modern instructors desire in their work.”

CHIPS FROM A TEACHER’S WORKSHOP

By L. R. KLEMM Ph.D. late Superintendent of Public Schools Hamilton Ohio Cloth $1.20 net

“This work is among the first we have ever seen that puts the young teacher on the right track and keeps him there through all the departments of his work. It is throughout based upon common sense. It teaches principles, but the principles are always presented concretely in a form to be understood. This is really the teacher’s vade mecum. If it could be put into the hands of every instructor in our public schools, it would work a revolution in our methods of education and in the results achieved.”—School Journal.

Dr. Klemm has now in preparation, nearly ready for publication, his second volume, entitled “Chips from Educational Workshops in Europe.”

FIRST STEPS WITH AMERICAN AND BRITISH AUTHORS

By ALBERT F. BLAISDELL A.M. author of “Study in the English Classics” “Our Bodies and How we Live” “How to Keep Well” “Child’s Book of Health” Cloth 75 cents net

“The plan of the book is unique, attractive, and thoroughly philosophical. In a general way, the plan is to study the text of a few representative authors, and not merely to read about many authors. It is to study what great authors have written, and not what some one has written about them. Every thing is made subordinate to this great aim. In the first few chapters, the method of studying a given subject is fully explained and illustrated.”—True Education.

HOW SHALL MY CHILD BE TAUGHT?

Practical Pedagogy or the Science of Teaching Illustrated By LOUISA PARSONS HOPKINS Supervisor in Boston Public Schools Cloth $1.20 net

“The Boston Herald” says: “Mrs. Louisa Parsons Hopkins has made a careful study of the science of teaching, and her book will be of the greatest service to those who are engaged in the tasks of primary teaching. She is less didactic than experimental in her methods; but the points which she makes are those that lead to success, because they have been proved in the schoolroom, and have the authority of the great schoolmasters of modern times.”
