BY STUDENT VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS A Selected Bibliography of Missionary Literature The following list aims to present a moderate working library under each section. Consequently a number of titles have been duplicated. A few books are included, especially among those dealing with mission countries, which, though not distinctly missionary, are of special value as describing the setting and conditions of the mis- sionary problem. Pamphlets and magazine articles are of necessity omitted, although some of the most valuable missionary material appears in these forms. For the convenience of individuals and classes studying home missions a list of books dealing with various North American problems is included, and for prospective foreign missionaries a special list of books on education, prepared by Dr. T. H. P. Sailer. To meet a frequent demand the titles of a few foreign missionary books which should be in a pastor's library are given in a separate group. For an ampler biblio- graphy of foreign missions the student is referred to Volume VI of the Report of the World Missionary Conference. The Student Volunteer Movement will gladly take counsel with any who desire to add to their missionary libraries from time to time. Any of the books named in this bibliography may be ordered through the Movement. Remittance should accompany order. GENERAL REFERENCE BARNES, LEMUEL C.

Testimony is given from numerous correspondents all over the world as to the aims and problems of educational work. The relation of Christian truth to indigenous thought and feeling, industrial training and the training of teachers occupy three chapters. The need of a broad and thorough understanding of educational principles by prospective missionaries is strongly urged. The whole discussion is on a high plane and is exceedingly stimulating. KINDERGARTEN *BLOW, SUSAN E. Educational Influences in the Kindergarten, pp. 386. 1908. Ap- pleton. $1.50. An interesting discussion of four tendencies in re- cent kindergarten work, the correlation tendency of the Herbartians, the free-play tendency of Stanley Hall's school, the industrial tendency of John Dewey, and the stricter Froebelian interpretation.

The Child and the Curricu- lum, pp. 40. 1902. University of Chicago Press. 25 cents. An essay on the theory of the relation of the subject matter of study to the developing child. It presents more acute and original thinking than the average educational treatise of ten times its length. The neces- sity of presenting the subject matter in terms of the child's own understanding and impulses is clearly shown. **DEWEY, JOHN. The School and Society, pp. 129. 1900. University of Chicago Press. $1.00. A series of lectures by the leading American philoso- pher of education, describing the principles on which the University Elementary School is conducted.

Blackie & Son, London, is. A reprint of the preceding essay, together with eight articles written originally by Dr. Dewey for the Ele- mentary School Record, and now out of print.

The Place of the Indus- tries in Elementary Education, pp. 270. 1905. University of Chicago Press. $1.00. Based on the ideas presented by Dr. Dewey in 1 he School and Society. Discusses the significance of each of the industrial epochs for education and indicates ap- plications to the development of the child. The theo- retical discussion is very thoughtful and will be more valuable to most teachers than the suggested lessons based on New England history. McMuRRY, C. A. Course of Study in the Eight Grades. 2 vols. pp. 236; 226. 1906. Macmillan. 75 cents each. A list of topics to be taken up in the various studies of the elementary school is presented, together with text-books and reference books for the teacher.

Macmillan. (Re- vised edition.) 90 cents. A plain and practical treatment of the principles underlying elementary education, such as the moral aim, discrimination of the relative value of studies, interest, correlation, etc. The standpoint is that of the Herbartian school. The author is not strikingly original, but straightforward and sane. *McMuRRY, C. A., and F. M. The Method of the Recitation, pp. 339. 1903. Mac- millan. (Revised edition.) 90 cents. Based on the preceding, it works out the application of the five formal Herbartian steps to elementary teaching. Perhaps the best general introduction to the principles of teaching for the beginner to read. **McMuRRY, F. M. How to Study and Teach- ing How to Study. pp. 324. 1909. Houghton, Mifflin. $1.25. A book that every teacher should own and digest. Teaching in most of our schools would be revolution- ized and manifolded in value if the recommendations of this book were carried out. Few things are more im- portant than learning how to study, and few things are more neglected by the average teacher. ** THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM, pp. 526. 1908. Teachers' College. $2.00. A bound reprint of five numbers of the Teachers' College Record, treating the work of the seven grades of the Horace Mann Elementary School, one of the best elementary schools in the United States. The book should be of great value to any elementary teacher who wishes specific suggestions on the curriculum and the ideals and general methods of teaching the subjects. WINTERBURN, ROSA V. Methods in Teaching. PP- 355- 1909- Macmillan. $1.25. Suggestions of detailed methods for teaching English, arithmetic, nature study, history, etc., in the elemen- tary grades are offered. Many of the sections are written by the teachers of these subjects in the va- rious grades. Similar in idea to the preceding book, but briefer and with much less space given to manual training and art. TEACHING OF SPECIAL SUBJECTS BAHLSEN, L. The Teaching of Modern Lan- guages, pp. 97. 1905. Ginn. 50 cents. Based on the reform methods introduced in Ger- many by Victor. The suggestions are useful for those teaching any language. BOURNE, H. E. The Teaching of History and Civics, pp. 385. 2d edition, with bibliog- raphies revised. 1910. CARPENTER, BAKER and SCOTT. The Teaching of English, pp. 380. 1903. LLOYD and BIGELOW. The Teaching of Biol- ogy, pp. 491. 1904. SMITH & HALL. The Teaching of Chemistry and Physics, pp. 377. 1904. American Teachers' Series. Longmans. $1.50 each. These four books are designed primarily to meet the needs of the secondary school teacher. Both subject matter and methods of presentation are treated, but the former naturally occupies more space than in books on elementary school work. The first on the list has a chapter on work in the grades. There are good bibliographies on reference and text-books, prin- ciples and methods of teaching. The series includes also books on the teaching of mathematics and of classics. The publishers expect to bring the biblio- graphies up to date as new editions are issued. HODGE, C. F. Nature Study and Life. pp. 514. 1902. Ginn. $1.50. The author argues for nature study from the stand- point of the natural interests and uses of the child as opposed to those of the scientist. He shows how to help the American child to appreciate his physical sur- roundings. HOLTZ, F. L. Nature Study, pp. 546. 1908. Scribner. $1.50. Presents first the motives and principles underlying nature study, then gives a chapter on eac'h of the fields to be entered by the elementary school, and finally a list of topics for study in the eight grades. It has the inevitable disadvantage of being based on American conditions, but from that standpoint represents the most recent thought on the subject. *HUEY, E. B. The Psychology and Pedagogy of Reading, pp. 469. 1908. Macmillan. $1.40. The first part, on the psychology of reading, is somewhat technical. The second part is historical. The remainder of the book, on the pedagogy and hy- giene of reading, is extremely suggestive, and should be read by all those who have to teach children. The author believes that reading is usually taught too early and by unwise methods. His recommendations are based on careful scientific study. McMuRRY, C. A. Special Method in Reading in the Grades. 1909. Macmillan. $1.25. SPECIAL METHOD IN HISTORY, pp .291. 1903. 75 cents. SPECIAL METHOD IN GEOGRAPHY, pp. 217. 1903. 70 cents. SPECIAL METHOD IN ARITHMETIC, pp. 225. 1905. 70 cents. SPECIAL METHOD IN ELEMENTARY SCIENCE, pp. 275- 1905- 75 cents. Like the other books by McMurry, these are plain and practical, without being highly original in either style or treatment. They are especially adapted to American surroundings. SMITH, D. E. The Teaching of Elementary Mathematics, pp. 312. 1900. Macmillan. $1.00. Covers the teaching of arithmetic, algebra and geometry, giving in eack ese a sketch of the growth of the subject, the reasons f9r teaching it, and methods to be followed. Less detailed for elementary arith- metic than McMurry, but written with a wider outlook. GENERAL THEORY OF EDUCATION BAGLEY, W. C. The Educative Process, pp. 358. 1905. Macmillan. $1.25. Discusses the biological, logical and psychological bases of education. An excellent introduction for one who wishes to see education in the large as the acquisition of individual experience. It should be supplemented by a book which treats the social phases of education. *BUBBERLY, E. P. Changing Conceptions of Education. pp. 70. 1909. Houghton, Mifflin. 35 cents. The author shows how, in response to the needs of life, the conception of education has changed from that of a transmission of the accumulated traditions of society, through one of psychological adaptation to the needs of the individual, to the sociological one of an instrument of democracy to meet the needs of de- mocracy. The discussion is clear and vigorous. CARLETON, F. T. Education and Industrial Evolution, pp. 320. 1908. Macmillan. $1.25. A plea for the adaptation of the school to the pres- ent needs of the bulk of society. The school has been adjusted mainly to the needs of the few who look for- ward to professional life rather than to those of the many who must be industrial wage-earners. The dis- cussion is vigorous and stimulating. DAVENPORT, E. Education for Efficiency, pp. 184. 1909. Heath. $1.00. A series of spirited addresses. The writer holds that one-fourth of the time of all education should be devoted to vocational work, that industrial education must be developed for the ninety-five per cent of our population who do not enter professional life, and that this must be conducted in such a way as to retain its graduates in the industries. *DEWEY, JOHN. Ethical Principles Underly- ing Education, pp. 34. 1903. University of Chicago Press. 25 cents. Holds that the aim of the school is to develop a broad social morality, and that the value of studies is measured by their contributions to social insight, social responsiveness and social initiative. *DEWEY, JOHN. The Educational Situation, pp. 104. 1902. University of Chicago Press. 50 cents. Three chapters on the work of the elementary school, the secondary school and the college. The thesis is that educational theory in response to social needs has advanced further than practice. The present dis- location is shown and the principles by which adjust- ment is to be secured are indicated. No educators more than missionaries need to study the problems of educational adjustment to social conditions. ELIOT, C. W. Education for Efficiency, pp. 58. 1909. Houghton, Mifflin. 35 cents. Two addresses in President Eliot's trenchant style in which he contends for the development of initiative, enthusiasm and practical efficiency, which are too often not even sought in traditional education. We are still far from realizing fully the ideals which Dr. Eliot has advocated for so many years. ELIOT, C. W. Educational Reform, pp. 418. 1898. Century Company. $2.00. Addresses delivered at various times by the man who has perhaps done more than any other to destroy anti- quated ideals in American education. President Eliot's style is most incisive, and when we agree with him it is safe to say that we have our arguments in the most vigorous form in which they could be put. Many of these problems of American education will repeat them- selves on the foreign field. HARRIS, W. T. Psychologic Foundations of Education. pp. 400. 1898. Appleton. $1.50. A philosophical discussion containing some very acute and suggestive things. The functions of the mind and the necessary implications of thought are presented from the standpoint of a Christian meta- physics. The third part treats the relation of institu- tions, art, etc., to education. The book is not all easy reading, but to some types of mind it will be most fascinating. HUGHES, R. E. The Making of Citizens, pp. 405. 1902. Scribner. $1.50. A comparative study of the primary and secondary school systems of Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States, with chapters on the education of girls and defectives. The book makes a good in- troduction for those who wish to learn the main educa- tional trends in the four countries mentioned. Those who wish to study this subject more in detail should consult Russell's German Higher Schools and Far- rington's Public Primary School System of France, and French Secondary Schools. O'SHEA, M. V. Education as Adjustment, pp. 317. 1905. Longmans. $1.50. A thoughtful discussion of education considered as adjustment to the individual and social environment. The biological and psychological bases of education are emphasized rather than methods of teaching. O'SHEA, M. V. Dynamic Factors in Educa- tion, pp. 320. 1906. Macmillan. $1.25. The author shows the significance of the restlessness of children, and criticizes the average school as re- quiring too much physical restraint. He advocates more of manual activity in education. He indicates sources of unnecessary fatigue and nervous strain. ROWE, S. H. Habit Formation and the Sci- ence of Teaching, pp. 308. 1909. Long- mans. $1.50. An important but much neglected subject. The author gives a broad definition to the term habit, and traces it in fields where it is often not recognized. SNEDDEN, DAVID. The Problem of Vocational Education. pp. 86. 1910. Houghton, Mifflin. 35 cents. The writer, who has recently become Commissioner of Education for Massachusetts, is one of our more acute students of educational principles. He shows the present need of vocational education by the school, since the home and the shop are no longer able to meet the demands, and also the changes necessary in the administration of the schools. The relation of vocational to liberal education is discussed. SOCIAL EDUCATION BAGLEY, W. C. Classroom Management, pp. 322. 1907. Macmillan. $1.25. The writer emphasizes the mechanical rather than the inspirational side of teaching. He stresses drill and habit and methods for the mass. The book will be useful for those who are unsystematic in their work. DUTTON, S. T., and SNEDDEN, DAVID., The Administration of Public Education in the United States, pp. 601. 1908. Mac- millan. $1.75. A review of the broad field of public education in the United States. An excellent introduction to the study of our national system. While details and sta- tistics are freely cited, they are accompanied by thoughtful comments of principles and tendencies which should be considered by those working in all fields. 87 ELIOT, C. W. University Administration, pp. 266. 1908. Houghton, Mifflin. $1.50. The problems of Harvard University are in many ways different from those of colleges under the care of missionaries, but much of President Eliot's vigorous common sense will be found useful to the adminis- trator. The subjects treated are university trustees, alumni, faculty, elective system, methods of instruction and social organization. **GILBERT, C. B. The School and Its Life. pp. 259. 1906. Silver, Burdett & Co. $1.25. School management from the standpoint of the principal. A very stimulating discussi9n based on up- to-date educational theory. Every missionary school principal should read this book. It is neither wooden nor overloaded with details irrelevant to the mission- ary. JOHNSON, G. E. Education by Plays and Games, pp. 234. 1907. Ginn. $1.10. Three chapters on the meaning of play, its im- portance in education, and the characteristics of the periods of childhood are followed by a full list of plays for each age, with brief descriptions. REEDER, R. R. How 200 Children Live and Learn, pp. 247. 1909. New York Char- ities Publishing Committee. $1.25. An account, by the superintendent, of the work of the New York Orphan Asylum. Everything possible is done to prevent the usual deadening effects of in- stitutional life and instead to foster individual initia- tive and character. There are excellent, though brief, chapters on moral and religious training and on per- sonal touch. The book will be most suggestive and stimulating to one who has to supervise a boarding school. *SCOTT, C. A. Social Education, pp. 300. 1908. Ginn. $1.25. A discussion of a phase of education that has been too often neglected. The book is suggestive rather than systematic. It should broaden the methods of the average teacher. SHAW, E. R. School Hygiene, pp. 260. 1901. Macmillan. $1.00. This has been for some years one of the standard treatments of the subject. The principal topics pre- sented are the arrangement of the rooms, buildings and grounds, heating, ventilation and sanitation, fur- niture and hygienic methods of work. Those with limited funds at their disposal will not be able to carry out all the suggestions. SNEDDEN and ALLEN. School Reports and School Efficiency, pp. 183. 1908. Mac- millan. $1.50. After brief introductory chapters, a long list of the most significant school reports of American cities is presented with comments. Many additional questions are suggested and profitable ways of condensing sta- tistics. Those who have oversight of schools would probably get helpful suggestions for reports, even where conditions dealt with are quite different from those of American cities. WOOD, T. D. Health and Education, pp. no. 1910. University of Chicago Press. 75 cents. An excellent summary of recent thought on the subject of health examinations, school sanitation, the hygiene of instruction, health instruction and physical education. Free play in the open air, involving in- teresting and natural activity, is recommended, as op- posed to formal drills in the gymnasium. CHILD STUDY *KIRKPATRICK, E. A. Essentials of Child Study, pp. 384. 1903. Macmillan. $1.25. The best introduction for one who wishes to make a scientific study of child nature. The development of the various instincts characteristic of childhood are discussed in some detail, and brief suggestions made for the educator. At the end of each chapter are questions and references for further study. *O'SHEA, M. V. Social Development and Education, pp. 561. 1909. Houghton, Mifflin. $2.00. The first part of the book is a study of the typical social attitudes of children, sociability, sense of duty and justice, docility, resentment, etc. The second part discusses methods of social training. The book is full of material valuable both to the teacher and the parent, and deserves careful study by those who consider themselves responsible for the best development of character. ROWE, S. H. The Physical Nature of the Child, pp. 211. 1899. Macmillan. 90 cents. Discusses tests for defective faculties, treatment for nervousness and fatigue, the conditions of adolescence and proper physical surroundings for the school and the home. TANNER, AMY. The Child, pp. 430. 1904. Rand, McNally. $1.25. Another excellent introduction to child study, written from the standpoint of somewhat more personal in- terest in the child than Kirkpatrick's book. A useful supplement to the latter. ADOLESCENCE BUCK, WINIFRED. Boys' Self-Governing Clubs, pp. 218. 1903. Macmillan. 50 cents. The experience of a worker with Boys' Clubs on the East Side of New York City. It should be helpful to those who have to deal with boys outside of school hours, a period the importance of which is becoming increasingly recognized. There are wise suggestions as to the limits of self-government. *FORBUSH, W. B. The Boy Problem, pp. 219. 1907. 6th edition (revised). Pilgrim Press. $1.00. The best book for those who have to deal with boys. Treats work in both church and home, and describes many organizations and devices, but exalts personal influence as supremely effective. At the end of each chapter is a select bibliography. *HALL, G. STANLEY. Adolescence. 2 vols. pp. 589; 784- 1904- Appleton. $7.50. President Hall has emptied into these two volumes the contents of many note books. He writes in a glowing style of the physical and mental characteristics of adolescence. To many of his statements and theo- ries, exceptions will be taken, but no student of the subject can afford to neglect President Hall's great learning and vigorous thought. *HALL, G. STANLEY. Youth, pp. 379. 1906. Appleton. $1.50. A condensation of the preceding, the chapters espe- cially bearing on education having been selected. For a student with plenty of time the larger work would be distinctly preferable, but a busy person can here get President Hall's viewpoint and most important ma- teial. EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY *DEWEY, JOHN. How We Think, pp. 224. 1910. Heath. $1.00. A discussion of reflective or purposive thinking in Dr. Dewey's usual clear and thorough style. He dis- tinguishes five steps in reasoning and indicates the true functions of induction and deduction, of analysis and synthesis. Practical applications of value are made to the work of the teacher. Dr. Dewey's own thinking is fundamental; his distinctions and illustra- tions are clear. As an educational theorist he has few, if any, equals. *DEWEY, JOHN. Interest as Related to Will, pp. 40. 1899. University of Chicago Press. 25 cents. A fundamental discussion. Not easy reading and not to be grasped at a sitting by the average person, but well worth careful study. Dr. Dewey has fur- nished many writers on education with their principal ideas. HECK, W. H. Mental Discipline, pp. 208. 2d edition, revised. 1911. John Lane. $1.00. For a number of years there has been a strong re- action against the view that the criterion of the value of the subject was its difficulty rather than its content. It is claimed that the so-called disciplinary value of certain subjects is transferable to other subjects in only a very slight degree. While inclining to the more recent view, the author presents a useful sum- mary of the discussion of the subject by various writers. *JAMES, WILLIAM. Talks to Teachers, pp. 301. 1899. Holt. $1.50. A series of popular lectures on the application of psychological principles to teaching in Professor James' brilliant style. Specific methods could hardly be in- ferred from this book by the inexperienced teacher, but there is much to stimulate. No one has ever put certain maxims of character formation more incisively. LANGE, K. Apperception. pp. 279. 1893. Heath. $1.00. No doctrine has had more influence on methods of instruction than that of apperception as developed by the Hebartians. While the psychology on which it rests has been in some ways superseded, most of its practical application is still valid and valuable. Lange's book is a thorough discussion. MUNSTERBERG, HUGO. Psychology and the Teacher, pp. 330. 1909. Appleton. $1.50. Less brilliant than Professor Tames* book, but more detailed, systematic and up-to-date. Some of the re- cent educational theories are questioned by the writer. THORNDIKE, E. L. Educational Psychology, pp. 248. 2d edition revised, and enlarged. 1910. Teachers' College. $1.50. An attempt to apply quantitative measurement to the psychological differences of individuals. Investi- gations of the influence of sex, ancestry and environ- ment are summarized and discussed. Many common suppositions are shown to be without scientific basis. The book is somewhat technical in character, and the results as a whole are rather negative, but the subject is one which will probably undergo considerable de- velopment. *THORNDIKE, E. L. Principles of Teaching, pp. 273. 1906. Seiler. $1.25. Treats brieflv the various psychological facts in- volved in teaching, then the application of these to teaching, and finally offers a number of practical prob- lems, some of which are very suggestive. The center of interest is in the psychology of the pupil rather than in the subject matter. STORY TELLING BRYANT, SARA C. How to Tell Stories to Children, pp. 260. 1905. Houghton, Mif- flin. $1.00. An introduction on the purpose of story telling, the qualities of narrative that children most like, and hints for the adaptation of stories for telling, with a collection of short stories adapted for oral use in the first five grades. The selection and style are both excellent. BRYANT, SARA C. Stories to Tell Children, pp. 243. 1907. Houghton, Mifflin. $1.00. A second series of stories arranged for telling. The introduction is brief, and most of the book is given to the tales, which are for the most part ex- ceedingly good. HERVEY, W: .'' ; Picoue \Vcrk. pp. 91. 1896. Revell. 30 cents. A very suggestive booklet on the art of illustration and story telling in teaching. The hints are concise and well arranged. The treatment has long been one of the best of its kind. ST. JOHN, E. P. Stories and Story Telling. pp. 100. 1910. Pilgrim Press. 50 cents. The essential value of the story for moral training is found in its appeal to the emotions; excellent sug- gestions are given for improvement in the art of story telling. Especially good is the chapter on the use of stories as determined by their aim. The little book is well worth reading by those who have the moral RELIGIOUS EDUCATION BURTON, E. D., and MATHEWS, SHAILER. Prin- ciples and Ideals of the Sunday School, pp. 207. 1903. University of Chicago Press. $1.00. Written by two theological professors with practical experience in Sunday School work. The main interest is in the intelligent presentation and understanding of the Bible. The responsibility of the pastor for the work of teaching is strongly emphasized. CHAMBERLIN, G. L. Introduction to the Bible, pp. 206. 1904. University of Chicago Press. $1.00. A course of forty lessons for children from 9 to 10 years of age, intended to give a general knowledge of the contents and teachings of the Bible "akin to a me- chanic's knowledge and love of his tools." As a whole, far in advance of most of our Sunday School material. CHAMBERLIN, G. L., and KERN, M. R. Child Religion in Song and Story. Manual for Teacher, pp. 252. 1907. University of Chicago Press. $1.25. A series of thirty-nine lessons for children from 6 to 9 years of age. Special note books to accompany the manual cost 40 cents each. The stories have no chronological sequence, but are grouped around simple ideas, such as honor to parents, the Heavenly Father, joy in giving, etc. American children are presupposed, but the manual should offer valuable suggestions to missionaries. A second series has been issued to cover another year of the same grade. *CoE, G. A. Education in Religion and Mor- als, pp. 434. 1904. Revell. $1.35. Defines education as the effort to assist in develop- ment toward social adjustment and efficiency. Shows the implications of this viewpoint for religion. Dis- cusses the periods of individual development and the share of the family, school and church in religious education. An excellent book for those who wish to see the question in the large. COE, G. A. The Spiritual Life. pp. 279. 1900. Revell. $1.00. A study of religion from the psychological stand- point, showing the effect of temperament, of various adolescent traits, and of suggestibility. The author claims that our conceptions of spirituality have been unduly feminized. FERRIS, C. S. The Sunday Kindergarten, pp. 271. 1909. University of Chicago Press. $1.25. A series of forty-three lessons worked out in detail. Kindergarten methods are employed, but trained kindergartners are not necessary to carry them out. Plays, stories and constructive work are suggested for each lesson, and music given for a number of the plays as well as for opening and closing exercises. Some kindergarten equipment is very desirable, but the most essential parts could probably be improvised without great difficulty. GATES, H. W. . The Liu of Jesus. Teachers' Manual, pp. 156. 1906. University of Chicago Press. 75 cents. Forty-two lessons for children of from 10 to 13 years of age. A number of references to other books accompany each copy, with hints on preparation and suggestions for teaching. Special note books for pupils cost 50 cents each, but could be dispensed with. The treatment is thoughtful, but not strikingly original. HASLETT, S. B. A Pedagogical Bible School, pp. 383. 1903. Revell. $1.25. Shows the growth of the Sunday School and its methods. Devotes several chapters to a discussion of the characteristics of childhood and of adolescence. Lays down principles for a curriculum and outlines topics for the different grades. More of discussion than in the book by Pease, and less on the curriculum and on specific methods. JENKS, J. W. Social Significance of the Teachings of Jesus, pp. 168. 1906. As- sociation Press. 50 cents, 75 cents. A series of lessons arranged for daily study with questions for class discussion at the end of each week. The day's work consists of readings from the Bible and from reference books, and to these are added helpful comments by the author. The spirit is earnest and thoughtful. The Association Press has other text- books modeled on the same lines. McKiNLEY, C. E. Educational Evangelism, pp. 265. 1905. Pilgrim Press. $1.25. The changing nature of the individual in the transi- tion to adolescence is well presented. The book is written from the standpoint of a pastor. **PEASE, G. A. Outline of a Bible School Curriculum, pp. 418. 1904. University of Chicago Press. $1.50. A most useful and suggestive book. Treats first the characteristics of each period of development from the kindergarten to the adult stage; then outlines a curri- culum for every Sunday in the year, and gives several specimen lessons and a bibliography in connection with each year. The book indicates in general the position toward which the best Bible study is moving. * PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTIONS OF THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, 5 vols. pp. 422; 640; 525; 3795 3i9- 1903, 1904, 1905, 1907, 1908. Now sold for 75 cents, $1.00, $1.00, $1.00 and $1.50 respectively. Reports of addresses on all phases of religious edu- cation by many speakers. These necessarily vary much in quality, but some of them are of great im- portance. The titles of the last four volumes are: "The Bible in Practical Life," "The Aims of Religious Education," "The Materials of Religious Education," "Education and National Character." RUGH, C. E., and OTHERS. Moral Training in Public Schools, pp. 203. 1907. Ginn. .$1.50. Five essays selected as the best of those submitted in competition for a prize. The first presents very clearly the viewpoint of the party that holds that morals should be taught by affording occasions for moral activity rather than by precept. *SADLER, M. E., editor. Moral Instruction and Training in Schools. 2 vols. pp. 538 ; 378. 1908. Longmans. $1.50 each. A series of papers in response to an inquiry on the subject of moral education in schools. Vol. I treats replies from Great Britain, and Vol. II those from the colonies and from other countries. SLATTERY, MARGARET. Talks to the Training Class, pp. 84. 1906. Pilgrim Press. 25 cents, 60 cents. Popular and helpful chapters on child nature and the best methods of treating it in teaching. The in- tense sympathy of the writer is a stimulus, and the illustrations from life will be more suggestive to the beginner than any amount of abstract definitions. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GULICK, LUTHER. Mind and Work. pp. 201. 1909. Doubleday, Page. $1.20. A series of colloquial lectures on the habits of mind and body that should be observed in order to secure the greatest efficiency in our daily work. Important truths are vigorously put. We all should be better for following this advice. KING, H. C. Rational Living, pp. 271. 1905. Macmillan. $1.25. The applications of modern psychology to our daily living are discussed in President King's thoughtful style under four heads; the complexity of life, the unity of man, the central importance of will and action, the concreteness of the real. The treatment is much more philosophical than Gulick's, but equally practical for another type of mind. MACCUNN, J. The Making of Character, pp. 226. 1900. Macmillan. $1.25. A discussion in somewhat philosophical style of the elements that go to make up character, addressed to the parent and teacher rather than to the youth. The treatment is broad and thoughtful. HISTORY OF EDUCATION HINSDALE, B. A. Horace Mann. pp. 326. 1898. Scribner. $1.00. Mann gave up law for education with the words, "Let the next generation be my client," and became the first great organizer of American education. A brief sketch of the previous development of education in America is followed by a well-balanced account of Mann's life and accomplishments. **MONROE, PAUL. A Text Book in the His- tory of Education, pp. 772. 1905. Mac- millan. $1.90. The most satisfactory history of education in Eng- lish. The settings of the different periods and the con- tributions of the different tendencies are presented with clearness and force. At the end of each chapter is a brief bibliography of the general history of the period as well as of its educational work. MONROE, PAUL. A Brief Course in the His- tory of Education, pp. 409. 1907. Mac- millan. $1.25. A condensation of the preceding for those who wish a briefer course. An effort has been made to retain the details where necessary to illustrate important facts. Teachers will find this a most excellent text- book, but should in all cases have the larger work for reference and for the bibliographies. QUICK, R. H. Educational Reformers, pp. 568. 1890. Appleton. $1.50. Sketches of leaders of educational thought from the time of the Renaissance to the present. Pestalozzi re- ceives most space, 94 pages, and Herbart is omitted altogether. The sketches are written in vigorous style, with numerous quotations from the writings of the men in question. TALBOT, E. A. Samuel Chapman Armstrong. pp. 301. 1904. Doubleday, Page. $1.50. A life of the founder of Hampton College, which has done so much for the education of the Negro and the Indian. The breezy and rugged character of the man and the principles on which he based his work are illustrated by numerous quotations from his letters and sayings. WASHINGTON, BOOKER T. Up From Slavery. PP- 330' 1900. Doubleday, Page. $1.50. The life story of a man who has overcome tremen- dous obstacles and accomplished wonderful things for the education of a race. He has been wise enough to give his people what they needed rather than what they thought they wanted. 2Iir56&)
