PREFACE
The following is a set of topics based upon “Bulfinch's Age of
Fable,” prepared for a systematic study of mythology.
While I have used Bulfinch as my basis, I have followed somewhat,
and given references also to, the mythologies by H. A. GUERBER and C. M.
GAYLEY, which are admirably arranged for the use of high-school pupils,
and both of which I have found invaluable in my work and in the prepa.
ration of
my
outline.
Owing to the limited time usually allowed for the subject, I have
omitted some myths which seemed of less importance; these, however,
the teacher can readily add in their proper relation to the other topics.
The introduction into our school of a separate course in mythology
seemed at first a doubtful step, but experience proved it most successful
and valuable both to classical and English scholars: to the former in
their work in Greek, Latin, and Ancient History; and to the latter in giv-
ing them an intelligent appreciation of the countless mythological refer-
ences in English Literature.
It is with the hope that some teacher may find the topics of assistance,
and the collected references a saving of labor, that I issue them in this
form for general use.

Methods of Instruction and Organization in the
Schools of Germany
By John T. PRINCE, Mass. State Board of Education. $1.00 net. Cloth.
Mailing price, $1.15.
A helpful and suggestive work. Mr. Prince has aimed to give the important fea-
ture of organization, and such methods observed by him as he thinks will be most
usefu, for American teachers to know. In methods he devotes a chapter each to
“Observation Lessons and Elementary Science; "
“Reading; " Language;
Geography and History;" Arithmetic;" Drawing, manual-training,” etc.
The chapters on organization are full of interest; and the final chapter of all, a
comparison between German and American schools, sums up the author's views.
Society of Pedagogy, N.Y.
The Spirit of the New Education
By Lovisa PARSONS HOPKINS, Supervisor of Boston Public Schools. Author of
“How Shall my Child be Taught,” “Observation Lessons in the Primary
Schools," etc. Cloth, $1.50.
The addresses in this work have an underlying unity of thought, represent advanced
theories, and afford high ideals for the development of character and the training of
the
young The earnestness and sincerity of the author are undeniable, and she pre-
sents her ideas vigorously, and with a strong flavor of discussion. Manual training,
the kindergarten, physical training, elementary science, the public school curriculum,
moral education, women's work in education, are among the many subjects treated,
with a clearness and emphasis that make a lasting impression. — Boston Times.
Matter, Ether, and Motion
The Factors and Relations of Physical Science
By Prof. A. E. Dolbear, author of “The Telephone," "The Art of Projecting,"
etc. Price, $2.00.
Professor A. E. Dolbear has done a valuable service to students of the various
branches of physical science by putting together in the volume the latest conclusions
of research and speculation concerning the molecular phenomena and the mechanical
relations upon which they are based.
Professor Dolbear is a clear thinker, and his views, often characterized by great
boldness and cogency of reasoning, are expressed with a lucidity and freedom from
technical phraseology that render them well within the intellectual grasp of most
educated readers. On the whole, it is safe to say that the mechanical theory of the
universe has never before been presented in a form so definite and convincing.
Handbook of School Gymnastics of the Swedish
System
By Baron Nils Posse. Cloth. Illustrated. 50 cents net. Mailing price, 55 cents.
Baron Nils Posse has condensed the theory 'of Swedish gymnastics for schools in a
brief essay, and, by an ingenious use of abbreviations, has compressed 100 tables of
exercises into a miraculously small space, which will be found of great value by all
properly taught teachers. Indeed, instructors of his system can scarcely dispense
with the little volume, and all teachers and all pupils in normal schools should be
pro
vided with it. - Boston Herald.

THE
THE ATTENTION of teachers is called to a few distinctive
points of this recent work, which bids fair to occupy a unique
place as a textbook of English literature, and to be of the greatest
service to pupils. The author's former work, STUDY OF THE
ENGLISH CLASSICS, now generally accepted as a students' book
of reference, is especially intended for teachers' use. He has
now prepared this book for the use of pupils.
It serves as a basis of a systematic course of study in the
English classics, furnishing enough material for a methodi-
cal introduction to our best authors. The book is so
arranged that the work upon each author may be abridged
or expanded as circumstances may permit.
It furnishes the complete text of a number of productions most
suitable for class-room work, such as Tennyson's “Dora,”
Bryant's Thanatopsis,” Gray's " Elegy,” Goldsmith's
“Deserted Village,” Milton's "Lycidas,” Byron's “Prisoner
of Chillon,” etc. For a year's work, at least, no other
book is needed except an occasional copy of an inexpensive
school-text.
3. As a preparation for the formal study of, a representative
author, the first six chapters (140 pages) are devoted to a
thorough drill on the study of simple pieces.
4. The book is well supplied with biographies and portraits of
the several authors, an outline course of study, questions
on various texts, guide analyses, explanatory notes, sugges-
tions for collateral reading and books of reference, review
questions, and many other helps.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S
HISTORY OF ENGLAND
PY
GEORGE M. TOWLE
School Edition, Finely Illustrated, 60 cents. By Mail, 68 cents
"If there be a more difficult task than to present clearly and concisely
the main facts in the history of England, from the Roman Conquest to
the present time, in 375 pages, without squeezing all the life and interest
out of it, we are yet to hear of it. Think, therefore, of a man who delib-
erately essays to do this in a way to delight as well as to instruct young
people, and at the same time philosophizes intelligently upon the events
and development of social, literary, political and even religious life. To
the credit of Mr. Towle, be it said, that he has done all of these difficult
things well." Massachusetts Journal of Education.
