Two of the papers contained in this volume-"Should American Youth be educated Abroad" and "Legal Prevention of Illiteracy"-are already well known to the reader. Two of the remaining papers are on the importance of education to labor, to the industrial arts, invention, and the theoretical and practical harmonization of labor and capital. The remaining papers treat of culture and knowledge, study and health, and mental philosophy as the professional study. It may be safely asserted that outside of the comparatively small number who are graduates of Normal Schools, very few teachers have paid the least attention to this most important study for teachers, a study without which, as Mr. Northrup justly observes, "teaching never can and never ought to rise to the dignity of a profession." We consider, therefore, Mr. Northrup's essay on "The Professional Study," though it is one of the shortest in the book, the most important article presented by him. FREEMAN'S HISTORICAL COURSE FOR SCHOOLS. History of England; By Edith Thompson. History of Scotland; By Margaret McArthur. New York: Henry Holt & Co. San Francisco: Payot, Upham & Co. One of the most promising signs in educational matters is the preparation of text books, not by professional bookmakers, but by the masters in the several fields of study. None but a profound special student is competent either to present the study in its proper proportion, or to secure accuracy. Instead of the half knowledge of cramming which the school-books for the most part have heretofore represented, we have now the breadth and accuracy of knowledge, which are the ripe fruits of original study. In history, the task of preparing a series of text books whose object it is to put forth clear and correct views of history in simple language, has been assumed by Mr. Freeman, than whom perhaps no one is so well qualified for this task. Mr. Freeman himself has written the Outlines of History, reviewed in these pages some months since. We have now the History of England, and the History of Scotland; the former written by Edith Thompson, the latter by Margaret McArthur. Short histories on the other chief countries of Europe and America are in active preparation. All the volumes are prepared under the supervision of Mr. Freeman. The two histories are brief, readable books, and are all that could be desired. We should like to see them find a place in every district library so that they may be used as reading books. THE VOICE, AND HOW TO USE IT. By W. H. Daniel. Boston: James R. Osgood & Co. San Francisco: A. Roman & Co. In a series of conversations, or rather of questions and answers between a teacher and a pupil, the author seeks to explicate the most important requisites to good singing. Nothing new is offered; the author simply aims to divest the subject of those technicalities by which the student is more frequently confounded than instructed. The book does not treat of the theory of music, but simply of what may be called the mechanical aids to singing, such as articulation, pure tone, position of the mouth, how to gain power, and certainty in singing, etc. EARNEST WORDS ON TRUE SUCCESS IN LIFE, ADDRESSED TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. By Ray Palmer. New York and Chicago: A. S. Barnes & Co. This volume contains some of the counsels addressed to young men and women of the author's congregation. Characteristics of youth, causes of failure in life, selfculture, false views of life, the choice of a life-work, true greatness according to Christ, form the principal subjects of these discourses. THE SCHOOL STAGE. A collection of juvenile acting plays. By W. H. Venable. Cincinnati and New York: Wilson, Hinkle & Co. This little volume cannot fail to be of great service to those who are called upon, at some time or other, to give a school exhibition. The selection of pieces is very good, and better adapted to the actors than the usual pieces contained in "Speakers." The most valuable feature of the book is the ample suggestions respecting stage properties, etc. Medical College of the Pacific. Medical Department of University College. FACULTY: A. J. BOWIE, M.

It is delightful to meet with a book of so much scholarly elegance as BARTHOLOMEW'S LATIN GRAMMAR. The doctrine of the Subjunctive Mood, the most difficult in Latin Grammar, is treated with marked ability."-Prof. E. D. Sanborn, Dartmouth College, N. H. |
