 LIST OF 1]00KS FOR IIIOU SCHOOLS. 
 
 Tlie followinc: list coiilaiiis wliaL are believed to be the most 
 representative and best books for High School libraries. Only 
 such books have been placed on the list as are believed to be of 
 interest and value to average high school ])npils. The list is 
 necessarilv lari>e so as to cover ditrcrcut interests, lines of read- 
 ing", and conrses of stndv, as well as to meet the local conditions 
 which ovjvern larcelv the selection of bo(3ks. Books wliicli are 
 especially for (ddcn- pnpils or suitable esi)ecially for yonnger ones 
 are indicatc^d in the notes. 
 
 In general it is best to choose books that are certain to be 
 within the capacity of the greater number of pupils. It is bet- 
 ter to err on the side of selecting books that are too simple, than 
 that of selecting those which will be of very little service be- 
 cause they are too difficult. Make tlie selection so as to cover 
 as wide a range of subjects as possiMc ami I'uniish books for all 
 classes. 
 
 Books which are marked ** should not Ix' purchased until the 
 reference library is of fairly good size. In some cases books so 
 marked are expensive, and in (itlic'i'> llicy aic iidt sn necessary to 
 a working library as other books on the list. 
 
 ARRANGEMENT AND OLASSIEICATION OF UOuKS. 
 
 'i'lie JMMiks (111 tliis list have been arranged Iiy subject and 
 classiiied according to a sim[)le selieiiie of classilicat ion taken 
 from tinil pr(-|i;ii'e<l li\ ( '. A. ('iittir. This sclieine is the same 
 tliat was used in tlie lilir;ir\- >ecti<iii i>{' the \\\ii]\ ScImkiI meet- 
 ings, lield dining the winter d' I '.Mil ninl liHIi'.

 fication on the label. The upper line of the classification refers 
 to the subject of the book. The lower line is taken from the 
 ''Cutter (lecininl autlior table," a scheme which gives to each 
 work its own exclnsive book number, so contrived that the books 
 stand on the shelves alphabeted by authors, under each subject. 
 
 AUTHOR AND TITLE CARD INDEX. 
 
 A com])lete title card index to the books in the library may be 
 made by obtaining duplicate copies of this list, cutting out the 
 entries, mounting them on catalog cards, and arranging tho 
 sards in alphabetical order by title. 
 
 An author card index may be made in the same manner by 
 mounting another copy of these entries adding the author's 
 name, inverted, on the top line of the card, and arranging the 
 cards in alphabetical order by author. 
 
 These two indexes may be kept separately or arranged to- 
 gether in one alphabetical order by first lines. 
 
 GRADING. 
 
 The books have not been graded for each year, for what a 
 pupil wants to read depends upon what he has read, what he is 
 interested in, and the work the teacher does with him, rather 
 than upon the number of years he has attended school. 
 
 NOTES ON liOOKS. 
 
 The notes on the books are made from the standpoint of the 
 teacher, and to aid the teacher in directing the reading of tho 
 pupils. The educational and ethical values are pointed out, 
 and the things which arc i\\)i to interest pupils are indicated. 
 
 ORDERING AND SHIPPING. 
 
 1. This list and the Townshi]> List constitute the High Scliool 
 list for 1902, and books selected for high schools in cities of the 
 fourth class should not be selected from any other lists. Special
 
 LIST OF BOOKS FOR HIGH SOHOOL LIBRiAlRIES. 
 
 notice is called to that portion of the law which provides that 
 all books purchased with the library funds must be selected from 
 the list prepared by the State Superintendent. Though this 
 list is intended primarily for High Scliools coming under the 
 township Library Law, all High vSchools in the state will find it 
 
 valuable. 
 
 2. Des Forges & Co., Milwaukee, Wis., will furnish the books 
 this year, and will supply them at the prices given in the second 
 column in this list. They will make no charges for boxing- and 
 cartage. 
 
 3. Make out all orders on regular order blanks which are fur-, 
 nished by the State Superintendent. The blanks furnished this 
 year contain space for ordering books as second choice. Expe- 
 rience has shown that it is better not to make a second choice. 
 Order the hoohs luanted and Des Forges cG* Co. will furnish them 
 as ordered. In ease an}- books are shipped which are not 
 ordered, it will be due to a mistake of the shipping clerk. Such 
 books should be promptly returned to Des Forges & Co., at their 
 expense, and their attention called to the error. They will cor- 
 rect the mistake promptly without further expense to the party 
 ordering. 
 
 4. Give all directions for shipping carefidly and plainly ; the 
 city for which tJie books are ordered, the line of railway, or by 
 what express company shipment is to be made. Carelessness 
 in these matters is sure to cause much trouble and unnecessai^ 
 delay in getting books. 
 
 5. According to law the books may be purchased any time 
 between the first days of May and September, but it is better to 
 buy as early as possible so that classes about to be graduated 
 may have the use of the books before leaving school, and it is 
 desirable to have the books on hand at the beginning of the school 
 year, 
 
 0. Charge freight, express, postage and exchange to the 
 library fund. 
 
 7. Keep a duplicate of the order, and see that the books re-
 
 Ijtst of books for 'HIG'H school libraries. 
 
 ceived arc tliose described in this list. It is illegal to purchase 
 wiili the llhntrji fund Jxxi/rs or editions not included in., tliese

 cl. (Heroes ot the nations series.) 1.50 .98 
 
 "In Uiis volume I have tried to meet tlie wishes of the publishers, 
 by explaining to those who are comparatively unfamiliar with clas- 
 sical anticiuity the place which Caesar occupies in the history of the 
 world. He was not the founder, much less was he the organizer 
 of the IJoman Empire ; yet his life marks a great change in Euro- 
 pean history. I have tried to sliow (and have done my best to ex- 
 press on the title-page) what this change means, how it was in 
 part the result of pro-existing tendencies, and was due in part to 
 Caesar's extraordinary force of will and intellect. 
 
 The l(>ndencios of the age. and the growth of Ca'sar's character, 
 are the two leading themes of the book ; and I have endeavoured to 
 treat these as far as possible by the help of contemporary evidence, 
 and chiefly of C.Tsar's own writings and those of Cicero." — From 
 Author's Preface.

 A book of great value to the student of Roman history. Froude 
 evokes a strong plea in favor of Caesar and in a few words draws 
 one of the best short pictures of Cicero, leading his readers to 
 despise Cicero's weak character. The author's point of view is 
 about the same as Moramsen's.

 with keen understanding of French life and character, and with 
 abundant knowledge of the whole period of Chami)lain's career. He

 This reinarkiible bijok is not an ordinary biography, but — as one 
 of its critics describes it — is the story of Jesus Christ told after 
 the method of the novelist. It is not, therefore, fiction ; rather is 
 it a dramatic, passionate, enthusiastic setting forth of the facts 
 and the spirit of the life of .Tcsiis Christ with tlie imaginative trulli- 
 fulness of a profound sympathy, and an im'-nnimoii lilcrai'y iKiwcr

 The author of the "Life of Stephen A. Douglas" has attempted 
 a somewhat more original task than has fallen to most of the 
 writers in tlie "Riverside Biographical Series." No life of Douglas 
 has been published since the civil war, and the three lives published 
 about the time of his death were of the nature of campaign biogra- 
 phies. So, except for the references to Douglas in bislories, no 
 estimate of him has been made from the point of view of a later 
 generation. The author has nevertheless endeavored to make the 
 reader understand Douglas the man, and has not been content 
 merely to try to fix his place In history.

 The heroine of this volume, the introductory one of a new and 
 interesting series, was the third wife of the John Winthrop who 
 played so important a part in the founding of New England. Her 
 letters, of which the book is largely made up, and the occasional 
 extracts from her husband's letters, afford a delightfully gossipy 
 chronicle of the period in which they lived, especially during the 
 time John Winthrop was Governor of Massachusetts. This new 
 series aims "to present not only carefully stiulied portraits of the 
 most distinguished women of Colonial and Revolutionary times, but 
 to offer as a background for these portraits pictures of the domestic 
 and social instead of the political and other public life of the peo- 
 ple."

 It is iKnv e'onerallv ai>Teed tliat the ntility of histoiT as a liio'li 
 school study arises chiefly from the training Avliirli llic subject 
 aiforils t(i llic jiidgnient, and se<'ondarily, from llic trniniiig of 
 the porc('))t inn, imagination and memo rv. "Tn prepare the 
 chiM for judgments in actual life the materials must resemble 
 as nearly as possi!)le the conditions of actual life. Snch ma- 
 terials are found in history and fonnd there in greater degree 
 than in ajiy other subject.'" The valne of historical instruc- 
 tion in ]ireparing students for good and int^^lligent citizenship 
 is obvious. Asixle from the Iwdy of information acquired, the 
 M'eigliing of evidence, the comparative study of j^olitical systems 
 of other countries and of other times, and the fnrmation of 
 judgments upon, men and measures, c<institut(> a ti';i:ning m<'»st 
 useful to the future citizen. Dr. Arnohl expressed the utility 
 of instruction in history, cixics, and econ.omics in the schools 
 veiy well when he said: 'Mt is clear that in whatever it is our 
 duty to act, those matters also it is our duty to study." The 
 teardier will find a fuller discussion of this subject in the Urport

 tractive in theory, is not workable in fact; the naines and dates 
 come to have less tlian the valne of aliiel)raie svmbels of im- 
 known (|nantiti(>s. l>ut it l)y no means follows that history 
 can be ta.ught withcnt accnrate knowledge of the most signifi- 
 cant historieal landmarks. These are means to an end, and 
 should be so illuminated with concrete detail as tO' be held as 
 vital eleiments rather than as a bare and dead weight on the 
 memoiw. Institutions and men slieuld ])e made real for the stu- 
 dent l)y sufficient concrete aiul intelligible discussion of their 
 essential characteristics. As a part of the training in judgment, 
 and in the interest of mental economy, they should be' taught 
 to oliserve lines of causation, to distinguish between the endur- 
 ing and the fleetinc, between the essential and the non-essentials 
 in histoiy, and the important should be made clear, at whatever 
 cost of time. To the objection that this mode of treating his- 
 torical study as a training in judgment takes more time, the an- 
 swer of the late ]\[ary Sheldon Barnes is conclusive : "Good 
 friend, it does ; and it takes more time to solve a problem in 
 arithmetic than to read its answer; and more time to read a play 
 of Shakespeare than to read that Shakespeare was the greatest 
 dramatist of all the aiiX's; and more time finally to read the 
 American constitutien and the American newspaper, and make 
 up your mind how to vote^ your own vote, than it does tO' be' put

 methods should be tluise which conduce to a training of the judg- 
 ment. A text-book should, in most cases be used as a basis of 
 work, ajid to give proportion, order, and definiteness to the in- 
 struction. Collateral material, used in additional reading, an<l

 book was made. Written work should lie increasingly used in 
 the later part of the coui-se; tlic practice of keeping note books 
 is to be connuended. 
 
 History should be so taught as to make use of llic studies of 
 geogTaphy, ([)hysiographic, economic, and political), literature, 
 economics, civics, and similar subjects. All may be made mu- 
 tually liel])ful. The use of pictures, of which there are now a 
 multiplicity of cheap reprints, will aid in bi-inging the archi- 
 tecture, sculpture, and painting of jiast ages before the pujul ; 
 and these are important aids in understanding the culture of a 
 period. Maps and atlases should be constantly used, including 
 fuitline maps for coustrucli\e work. Wlicu the student is al- 
 ^|^^\'el| to make something, ^vhether a toju'cal repcu-t or an il-

 a definiteness that is well worth the time. Lantern slides make 
 iwssiblo a large use of maps and pictures at comparatively slight 
 expense.

 The first object of the topical method is to give prominence to 
 the most important names and events of history, and concentrate 
 the reading of the students upon certain selected ones of these. 
 
 "Two sets of topics are here presented — the first for general 
 dynastic and territorial liislory, the second for the history of the 
 United States. The course of dynastic history is intended to occupy 
 an entire year, and is for Ibis purpo.se divided into thirty divi- 
 sions, each of which may lake up a week, while the rest of the school 
 year may be devoted to reviews and e.\aniinatious. The system is, 
 however, very elastic, and the work may be compressed or ex- 
 panded according to the amount of time at the disposal of the 
 class. My way is, after going over a period In chronological order, 
 to review by countries, so as lo take up the same points of view. 
 The course in .\merican history consists of fifty daily lessons; but 
 these again may be expanded or condensed at pleasure." I'reface.

 This brief worli is an attempt to explain the influence which the

 "In the preparation of the text I have endeavored to give especial 
 emphasis to the different periods of liistory, and at the same time to 
 make clear the continuous movement. If any fairly good conception 
 can be gained from the study of history of the steady marcli of 
 humanity up to its present level, one of its richest and most fruitful 
 results has been secured, and it is a wish of mine, though one per- 
 haps not easily realized, tliat the teacher should be able to make his 
 class see in each lesson, or at least in each of the minor epochs of 
 history, how the movement advances a stage in tlie given bit of 
 time." — From Author'.-: Preface.

 to us ; two of them reeoiding very fully tlie romantic deeds of our 
 
 lion-hearted I'lantagenet : the third the chiviili-ic career of the pious 
 
 and exemplary Saint Louis of France. 
 
 Of the auflior of tlie first of tliese Clironicles, Richard of 
 Devizes, nothing is Icnown heyond what he himself informs us in 
 his preface, by which it appears, tliat he was in early life a monk 
 at St. Swithin's Priory at Winchester, and subsequently a Carthu- 
 sian of Witham. 
 
 Other works have been ascribed to the .same writer, but there is 
 great uncertainty as to their autliorship. His Chronicle is valuable 
 because it connects affairs which were passing in England with the 
 events which took place simultaneously in the Holy Land. 
 
 The second work in this series is the History of tlie Expedition 
 of Richard Coeur de Lion to the Holy Land, by (Jeoffrey de Vin- 
 sauf. . . . • 
 
 Of all his works, the most important and intrinsically valuable is 
 his History of the Third Crusade, under Richard the First of Eng- 
 land and Philip Augustus of France. It is the only Chronicle writ- 
 ten by an eye-witness, of those furious assaults which the army of 
 Saladin made upon the Christians, and of the tirmness with which 
 the lion-hearted Richard withstood and repulsed them. If the reader 
 takes the trouble of comparing Ceoffrey's full and interesting 
 account of the crusade with that of Ricliard of Devizes, he will 
 perceive how much superior it is in every respect. Geoffrey lived to 
 see the death of King Richard, and the accession of his brother 
 John, and it is much to be lamented that he breaks off his history 
 somewhat abruptly, .just at the moment when the crusaders em- 
 bark on board ship to leave tlie Holy Land, at the end of the year 
 1102. . . . 
 
 The third and la.st, and by no means the least interesting work 
 in this volume, is Joinville's Memoirs of Saint Louis, the crusading 
 king of France." — Preface.

 246. History of Rome: for high schools and academies. 
 George Willis Botsford. N. Y., Macmillan Co., 
 1902. 39G p. il. O. cl 
 
 "This book is similar in iilau to the "History of Greece'. It' aims 
 to present briefly the growth of Rome, the expansion and organi- 
 zation of her power, the development and decline of the imperial 
 system, and the transformation of tlie ancient pagan empire of 
 the liomans into the mediaeval Christian empire of tlie Germans. 
 The narrative, accordingly, extends from the earliest times to Char- 
 lemagne. The treatment of the early constitution rests directly 
 upon the sources, which uniformly represent the i>lebeians as citi- 
 zens and the patricians as their leaders. 
 
 Kmphasis is placed on the period of the emperors as the time 
 during which Home stamped her character upon the history of the 
 world. Attention is directed not so much to the vices and intrigues 
 of the imperial court as to the progress of mankind both in the 
 capital and in the provinces. Wars are treated with reference to 
 their influence on the current of history, aud for the illustration 
 of individual and national character." — From the incfacc.

 "This book does not claim to be a life of Cicero or a history of

 come into comparison with such a work as Kekker's Gallits, in 
 which on a slender thread of narrative is hung a vast amount of 
 facts relating to the social life of the Romans. I liave tried to 
 group round the central figure of Cicero various sketches of men 
 and manners, and so to give my readers some idea of what life 
 actually was in Rome, and the provinces of Rome, during the first 
 six decades — to speak roughly — of the first century B. C."— Preface.

 260. Rome: its rise and fall; a text-book for high schools 
 autl colleges. Philip Van Ness INIyers. Bost., 
 Ginn & Co., 1901. 626 p. il. 19 maps. D. Ed. 
 2. cl 1.25 1.06 
 
 "This book has been writlon In response to requests from many 
 teachers that the author should expand his little text-book on 
 Roman history into a more extended account of Roman affairs. 
 Although the entire narrative has been laid on the lines drawn 
 in the earlier book, still the present volume is practically a new 
 work. The development of the Roman constitution during repub- 
 lican times has been traced carefully step by step ; while special 
 emphasis has been laid upon the causes that undermined the in- 
 stitutions of the republic, and which later brought about the fall 
 of the empire. A somewhat larger space than usual has been given 
 to the decay of paganism and to the rise and progress of Christi- 
 anity in the empire. Three chapters at the end of the volume are 
 devoted to an account of Roman civilization." 
 
 Contents : Rome as a kingdom ; Rome as a republic ; Rome as 
 an empire; Architecture, literature, law, and social life; Romano- 
 German or transition age.

 The aim of the American editor has been to fit the French work 
 to American class-room use. Some slight additions have been 
 made. The original work was carried only through the reign of 
 Theodosius. The period from that time to Charlemagne ha.s been 
 treated in four new chapters. Some omissions also have been made 
 to bring the work into a certain compass. 'J"o each chapter has 
 been appended a short list of sources In l':nglisli. In the appendix

 by the fanaticism of unbelief.

 "Each year shows advance toward a general appreciation of the 
 value and feasibility of source study by younger as well as by 
 older students. It is no longer thought useless, or even danger- 
 ous, to place the original text in the hands of the boy or girl ju.st 
 beginning the study of history. 
 
 The definite gains from a moderate and carefully directed use of 
 sources are manifold. First and foremost is the stronger sense of 
 reality produced by coming in direct contact with the men who 
 helped to make history, or with those who actually witnessed the 
 events they describe. To the average school boy, historic per- 
 sonages are heroes or bores, as the case may be, buf never men. To 
 remedy this would be a long step toward success in the teaching of 
 history, and here the value of the original letter or description is

 Still another advantage is the interest aroused through allow- 
 ing the men of a bygone time to speaii for themselves. The stu- 
 dent feels that he is at the heart and beginning of things when he 
 reads the story as told by the man who did the great deed, or at 
 least by one who saw him do it. His interest is stimulated as it 
 could not be by the careful account prepared in cold blood by the 
 historiiui, a man of another age and of an alien temper. 
 
 A certain judicial fairness of attitude toward men and events 
 of the past is fostered by reading the original accounts with their 
 marked personal stamp. Where each side has a chance to tell its 
 own story, the student is led to weigh evidence, to consider prob- 
 abilities, lie is forced unconsciously to abandon his prejudices 
 to see that right and wrong are often separated by a very narrow 
 line, that the good are not all on one side, the bad all on the 
 other."

 337. Impressions of South Africa. Third edition, with a 
 new prefatory chapter, and with the Transvaal 
 conventions of 1881 and 1884. James Bryce. N. 
 Y., The Century Co., 1900. 517 p. maps. O. el. 3.50 2.30 
 
 In addition to a series of chapters on the history and present 
 condition of the colonics and rcpuljlics of South Africa, the 
 author describes the scenery and animal life of plain and moun- 
 tain and valley, and the climatic conditions which afford so po- 
 tently the country's development. The race problems involved in 
 the rivalry of Dutch and English, and the numerical preponder- 
 ance of blacks, are fully discussed, as being perhaps the most seri- 
 ous to be considered in connection with the progress of civilization 
 and the probable effect of the discovery of gold upon the permanent 
 welfare of the land.

 340. Com Paul's people. Narrative of the British-Boer 
 troubles in South Africa, with a history of the 
 Boers, the country, and it? institutions. Howard 
 C. Hillegas. N. Y., D. Appleton & Co., 1900. 308 
 p. maps, por and il. D. cl 1.50 .98 
 
 The author is a New York newspaper man who spent nearly 
 two years in South Africa enjoying special facilities at the hands 
 of President Kruger and other Boer officials as well as from Sir 
 Alfred Milner and other British representatives at Cape Colony. 
 The book contains an important interview with Oom Paul and a 
 special study of Cecil Rhodes. Mr. Hillegas blames stock-jobbers 
 and politicians for all the trouble between the Boers and the Eng- 
 lish, and believes that war is the probable final outcome. One 
 chapter is especially devoted to the American interests in South 
 Africa, showing that, while British capital owns the vast gold 
 mines, American brains operate them.

 An important contribution to the history of the Spanish-Amer- 
 ican war, by the late I'resident McKinley's much criticised Sec- 
 retary of War, from March 5, 1897, to August 1, 1899. This his-

 question, especially the conduct of the War Department during 
 Secretary Alger's incumbency, the Miles-Alger controversy, • the

 New England people still living on old homesteads occupied by 
 their parents or grandparents at the time of the alarm of April 19. 
 1775, and there he has heard the story of personal experience re- 
 ported by the descendants of those who at their own doors or in 
 the highway faced the army of the king. While delineating in 
 his characteristic manner the story of Lexington and Concord, he 
 has most happily .shown the part taken by other towns in that

 As' a handbook for the study of our political life this book has 
 no superior. 
 
 '•I purpose in these pages to sketch the political history of the 
 Rise of the Republic of the United States. I shall endeavor to 
 frame a narrative of events, with their causes and relations, which 
 derive interest and importance from their connection with the 
 formation and direction of public opinion, the development of 
 fundamental principles, and the embodiment of these principles 
 into institutions and laws. I shall aim to show how the Euro- 
 pean emigrant, imbued with the spirit of a new civilization, organ- 
 ized self-governing communities, and to follow the stages of their 
 growth into a union. I shall then trace the origin and rise of a 
 sentiment of nationality, and the effort by which it became em- 
 bodied in the Declaration of Independence, which was the first cove- 
 nant of our country; and in the federal constitution, which is the 
 supreme law of the land." — From Introduction. 
 
 Contents : Ideas of local self-government and of national 
 union ; Combination of local self-government and union in the New 
 England confederacy ; How aggression of the principle of local self- 
 government led to revolution and intercolonial correspondence, 
 and how a common peril occasioned a congress ; Ideas of local self- 
 government and of union for seventy years, and their combination 
 in the plan adopted by the Albany convention ; How the assertion 
 by parliament of a right to tax the colonies by the stamp act 
 evoked a sentiment of union, and occasioned a general congress ; 
 How the assertion by parliament, in the Townshend revenue acts, 
 of absolute power over the colonies, was met by a constitutional 
 opposition, and how an arbitrary royal order elicited action in a 
 similar spirit by thirteen assemblies, in defence of their local self- 
 government ; How the patriots advanced from an embodiment of 
 public opinion to a party organization, by forming committees of 
 correspondi*nco : How events developed the American union, and 
 how the demand for a genei'al congress was accompanied by 
 pledges to abide by its decisions ; How a general congress formed 
 the association of the united colonies, and how support was pledged 
 to the inhabitants of Massachusetts in resisting the alteration of 
 their charter; When the popular leaders recognized the fact oi 
 revolution, and began to aim at independence, and how they met

 The story that ]>r. llosmer tells of the acquisition of the western 
 empire included in the Louisiana purchase presents new and pic- 
 turesque phases of a most important historical event of peculiar 
 and timely interest, in view of the anniversary which comes next 
 year. He pictures the vague and curious ideas of the Louisiana 
 country held by most Americans one hundred years ago, and the 
 objections to this form of expansion. He treats the changes in the 
 ownership of the territory from France to Spain, and again to 
 France, and he develops fully the purposes and acts of Jefferson 
 and the American Commissioners in Paris. Of special importance 
 from both the historical and personal points of view are the chap- 
 ters which picture the leading part taken by Napoleon in bringing 
 about the sale of Louisiana, and the relations between France and 
 America, which are shown to possess a historical importance that 
 has not been appreciated.

 This is a histiiry of (he cvolulidn of governnieut in Ihis country, 
 and it r(!calls the changes in the ideas and opinions whicii the 
 American people have held respecting the principles, the organiza- 
 tion, and the administration of their civil institutions. It deals 
 with the nation as a great constituency engaged in working out a 
 political system. The process has been one of individual and so- 
 cial amelioration, through many struggles, among which the chief 
 are those for tlie extension of the suffrage ; for the etpiitable ap- 
 portionment of repre.sentation ; for the abolition of discrimina- 
 tions on account of race: for the oi-ganization of systems of free 
 schools; for the sei)ara(ion of the state from questionable practices. 
 and for the establishment of government directly upon the will of 
 the people. Nine maps illustrate the changes in population and in 
 the political division of tlie country from 177G to 1850. An e.x- 
 liaustive index and an analytical table of contents, by <liapti'rs, 
 add to the usefulness of (he work. 
 
 This book should not he imrchased unlil the school has a good 
 working library of nicn-c ciciiicniary books.

 pletes the story of the settlement and development of the colonies 
 up to the point where Mr. Piske"s "American Revolution" has al-

 "Mr. Grinnell takes us directly to the camp tire and the council. 
 He shows us the Indian as a man subject to lilvC passions and in-

 fought, how he Ininted and prayed, how he ate and slept — in short, 
 we are admitted to the real life of the red man, and as we learn

 customs, and peculiarities ; to clothe home scenes and iJlaces and 
 familiar names with those imaginative and whimsical associations 
 so seldom met with in our new country, but which live like charms

 An excellent text-book. 
 
 "The author has endeavored to limit the contents of this text- 
 book of Commercial Geography to those dominating features of 
 commerce and industry that should be most strongly impressed 
 upon the student. The facts of commerce are treated as the effect 
 of conditions that determine the quality and the quantity of trade. 
 The effort is made throughout the book to connect cause and effect ; 
 to trace the great and small streams of commerce, and also to 
 show the causes that give them direction and volume. Geographic 
 and many other controlling influences, such as inventions, gov- 
 ernmental aids or impedimeuts, and the Improvement of products, 
 industrial processes, and moans of transportation, are therefore 
 made prominent. 
 
 Each product is treated in the chapter relating to the commerce 
 of that country in which the production or manufacture of the 
 commodity is specially prominent." — Preface.

 A very interesting description of life in Cbina. The author went 
 to China and spent all his time among the Chinese, denying him- 
 self entirely of the hospitality of the white men and women in the 
 treaty ports. In this book he has described his most interesting ex- 
 periences and in the form of tales and romances has narrated what 
 he saw and learned of the surroundings and customs of the people 
 in districts where they have not been affected by foreign influ- 
 ences.

 Peking ; one to the foreign missions ; one each to the cities of 
 Tientsin, Canton, and Shanghai, and two to the Great Wall. "The 
 Decadence of the Manchus," the alien ruling family, is the subject 
 of another chapter, whWo the Dowager Empress, "Tszc Hsi and the 
 Great," is treated of at equal lenglli. An amusing account is given 
 of the Tsung-li Yamun, the group of old men that is nominally 
 responsible for the empire's foreign policy.

 Of the historic trails crossing the great plains none has a nior(> 
 stirring story than that known as the Salt Lake trail. Over this 
 liistorical highway the JMornions made their toilsome way. Over 
 this route also were made those world-renowned expeditions by Fre- 
 mont, Stanshnry, and others to the heart of the Kocky mountains. 
 Over this same route the overland stage lumbered along, long before 
 the building of a railroad was believed to l)e possible. This bool? 
 deals with the era of the trapper, the scout, the savage, and the 
 passage of emigrants to the gold fields of California, and with the 
 adventures which markt>d the long and weary march. A book of 
 intense interest.

 Mr. Torrey describes the vacation doings of some entluisiastic 
 nature-lovers in the beautiful valley-aud-moimtain Franconia 
 country. It has to do with nature as these happy people saw and 
 enjoyed it. There is much in the book about birds and plants, 
 edible berries, fine prospects, and llie like. One of its chief attrac- 
 tions is its sunny, out-of-doors (luality, — its atmosphere. It is a 
 record of happy days, and its humor and enthusiasm are delight- 
 ful.

 A presentation of the industrial, commercial, political, and social 
 conditions existins lu I'uei-to Rico today, with a mass of facts, 
 figures, and comparisons of past institutions with present. In- 
 tended primarily to give all who are personally interested in the 
 future development of the island a comprehensive grasp of the ad- 
 ministrative problems which confront us, and of the outlook for 
 Americans in industrial enterprises. JNIr. Dinwiddie sets forth in 
 a clear and serviceable way the present state of coffee, tobacco, 
 sugar, and fruit culture, with valuable statements as to the ex- 
 pense and best methods of conducting such plantations, lie also 
 gives a full discussion of the opportunities offered to American 
 capitalists in railroads, tram-ways, ice-plants, cattle-raising, dairy- 
 farming, and manufacturing.

 POLITICAL ECOXOMY. 
 
 Tlie study of political economj will be chiefly useful to pupils 
 in a hio'h school as au introduction to tlie serious and thoughtful 
 consideration of the practical affairs of life. Its purpose is not 
 so much to present a body of knowledge as to form a habit of and 
 civo a basis for estimating economic values and results. To 
 many persons the statement that values originate in labor, and 
 that wealth represents services performed, comes at first as a 
 great noveltv. The full realization of the truth and of its bear- 
 ing on various Avays of money getting current in society, comes 
 not from Inemorizing the text, but from an abundance of illus- 
 trations brought out in the class-room, with the usual accom- 
 panying comment and criticism. Possibly no other study in the 
 course so urgentlv demands the conversational method of con- 
 ducting a recitation, and can so ill endure the verbal memorizing 
 of text-books. 
 
 Pupils who have studied the conditions affecting the produc- 
 tion of wealth, including the division of labor, the consequent 
 frequent separation of the capitalist from the laborer and the 
 growth of combinations on each side, should be better able to 
 read intelligently the current discussions of the "labor problem" 
 in leading journals and. magazines. If they are led tO' read 
 snch discussions of important questions and to subject the arti- 
 cles to the test of measurement by the principles stated and ac- 
 cepted previously, there may be less satisfaction with dogmatic 
 statements, but there shonld result a wider interest in human 
 affairs and current news, with a broader toleration of divergent 
 views. Established facts and accepted theories may be made in-

 I have not only gone over the ground generally traversed, and

 further than the controversialists ou either side have yet ven-

 popular strength in spite of all exposures of its fallacies; to trace

 several organizations throughout the United States.

 age, of legal tender, and of the gold standard are treated in both 
 their local and their general aspects, and a chapter is given to 
 the Brussels Monetary Conference. The subject of representative 
 money is divided into two parts, viz. : flat money and banknotes. 
 Colonial bills of credit, continental money, greenbacks, treasury 
 notes, and silver dollars are separately treated. The course of 
 hanking development forms the concluding part.

 by Elizabetli Cady Stauton and others. M'-s. Joliuson gives the 
 opposite side of the question, with many new and old arguments, 
 supported by carefully gathered facts and figures. Her conclusions 
 are that woman's suffrage is not the offspring of democracy, but 
 has received its warmest support under mouarchical or even des- 
 potic governments ; that the advance women have made in the pi'o- 
 fessions and the changes for the better brought about in their con- 
 dition under the laws are to be credited to the broadening of 
 thought, not to the suffrage agitation ; that woman, through her 
 sex, is unfitted for political life ; that the suffrage wouUl tend to 
 disintegrate the home ; that women would lack the physical power 
 to defend a vote, or to carry out the laws she might enact."

 PSYCITOLOGY. 
 
 The study of psychology in the high schools must necessarily

 and direct. ISTo effort should be made to leach a system of 
 philosop'liy or to engage in uietaphysical disputation. The end 
 will bo reached if the juipil is taught wdiat the mind can do and 
 how il does it. A simple scheme of the uiental faculties should

 The influence of the emotions and the will in determining 
 character and Cdudnct may be explained and illustrated. Tlie 
 mijid is the instruanent through whose activity all accretions of 
 knowledge come. The study of its powers, modes of action and 
 limitations is noble in itself and ought to be rich ini results. 
 The examination of the sequence in tlie unfolding of its powers 
 furiii<lies lh(^: guide lines for stndciit and teacher. The habit 
 of sober and accurate thought wdiieh this study necessitates is 
 tlie prerequisite of wise action. To impart the power of fixing 
 the attentioui, of holding the mind steadily to the subject in 
 hand is preeminently the province of psychological study, and 
 is th(^ highest outcome of intellectual training. 
 
 TIIEOT^Y AND ART OF TEACTTIjNTG. 
 
 Sec. 49 Ga of the Wisconsin Statutes authorizes the state su- 
 perintendent "to prepare a course or courses of study suitable to 
 be pursned in the free liigh scdiool," and specifically states that : 
 " Eacli free higli school shall offer at least a twelve weeks' 
 coui'se of iiistruction each year in the theoi-y and art of teaching; 
 in the orgaTiization, management, and ecnirse of study of ungraded 
 schools; and in tlie duties of citizens in the organization and ad- 
 ministration of local STstems. Such course of instruction shall 
 be o])en to all students in tliis school.'" Provision must be made 
 for this study in each course excepting courses in manual train- 
 ing. It sli(»uld bo understood liy teachers and metmbers of 
 school Ixiards iliat this is not a study which is of value to those 
 pupils only a\1io expect to teach in the schools of the state. 
 The pupils in the public S(?liools will soon be in positions where 
 they will be responsible for the development and maintenance 
 of those schoiols. Tiro ^vork in Them-y and Art of Teaching

 The host text hook for use in the study of pedagogy is the

 '•The philosophy of Froebel is here explained in language ad- 
 dressee, to the general public. The author takes up the most im- 
 portant doctrines one after the other as they were developed in 
 the Mutter und Kose Licdcr. and shows their equivalents in the

 "It is the aim of this book to aid teachers of history, and espe- 
 cially those who have not had special training in historical work, 
 better to comprehend the nature of the subject. Until they have 
 considered the development of history as a way of portraying the 
 experience of mankind, and know something of the methods by 
 which it seeks to reach the sure basis of fact, and until they have 
 seriously studied the problems of historical instruction, they can 
 not feel a large interest in the subject, and consequently cannot in- 
 spire their pupils with such an interest. The first part of this 
 book has been written to set them on the way toward a better com- 
 prehension of those aspects of history. The second part offers a 
 review of the general field, which may guide those who require 
 such help intelligently to study its many phases. . 
 
 In the bibliography prefixed to each chapter and in the notes 
 will be found the names of the books chiefly consulted, or useful 
 in a farther study of the subject." — Preface.

 Mr. Corbin is a Harvard man who has resided at Oxford, and 
 has seen much of English life. He covers in his narrative the 
 whole range of college activities, outdoor and indoor life, athletics 
 and clubs, examinations and amusements, the university and the 
 outside world. He deals lightly with the history of Oxford, its past 
 and its influence on English life, and in the light of this history 
 and study, touches on the problems which now concern the Ameri- 
 can university, the social and athletic problem, the administrative 
 and educational, and the large question of the service of the Uni- 
 versity to the country. 
 
 Students will en.ioy reading this book. The language is simple 
 and the subject matter extremely interesting.

 D. cl 
 
 An excellent book for the use of the History teacher. "The aim 
 has not been to discuss devices and external manipulations in 
 teaching history ; the term 'method' is not even intended to suggest 
 diagrams, chronological charts, or expedients of like nature. But 
 something far more fundamental has been the aim ; the determin- 
 ing factors in method and not the determined. 
 
 It is the prevailing custom among teachers in secondary and 
 primary schools to look upon the subject they teach as contribut- 
 ing very little to the method of its teaching. The result is to lower 
 the subject — and, worst of all, the work of teaching — in the esti- 
 mation of the teacher. The subject stands as so much simple and

 easy matter upon wliieli no special preparation for the recitation 
 
 is needed. The work ceases to be interesting and sinks into mere 
 drudgery. College graduates, as a rule, take the same low view 
 of work in these schools. They feel that the branches taught even 
 in the best secondary schools present no problem worthy of their 
 metal. There is a problem here worthy of their best endeavors 
 and one that challenges, in point of difficulty, their strongest and 
 keenest powers. They generally do not know where to look for it ; 
 it is a pedagogical, and not an academical problem. This work 
 is written with the confident hope that such a problem will be per- 
 ceived in the domain of history teaching in the primary and sec- 
 ordary schools." — From preface.

 "The problem of the Modern Language Committee was, then, to 
 suggest to the secondary teacher what should be taught and how it 
 should be taught, and to do this in such a way as to leave to the 
 schools a large measure of liberty in the management of details. 
 But the ichat and the how were inextricably bound up with the 
 why, since the teacher's theory as to the purpose for which a mod- 
 ern language is studied will inevitably exert a determining influ- 
 ence upon the character and method of the instruction. It was 
 first necessary, therefore, to take a definite position with regard 
 to the educational value of the modern languages."'

 W. H. Payne. N. Y., D. Appleton & Co., 1901. 
 
 355 p. (International education series.) D. cl. 1.50 .98 
 
 One of the greatest educational classics. Rousseau was the 
 great leader in social and political reform and from his "Emile" 
 our later great writers on education have caught their inspiration. 
 
 Instead of writing a formal treatise on education, he gives us in 
 moving pictures a sort of panorama of a human life from infancy 
 up to maturity. Every teacher should read this book and Plato's 
 "Republic".

 Although many of the ideas presented in this book seem beyond 
 practical application, the authnr claims that there is scarcely a 
 feature of the book not supported by something tested and proven. 
 Its main value to the teacher will be as a source of inspiration.

 CIVICS AND GOVERNMENT. 
 
 Provision is mado by statute for the teacliiiig of the Consti- 
 tution of the United States and of Wisconsin in the public 
 schools. 
 
 A Ivnowledo'e of the fundamental laws of the land is indis- 
 pensable to every citizen, and with this end in view the consti- 
 tutions shoiild be taught, the more important clauses being mem- 
 orized. The error, liowever, should not be made of treating 
 the subject in a meaningless, routine manner, for every section 
 and every clause possesses a life which more or less affects our 
 ever^'-day existence. Let the teacher mahe the branch a prac- 
 tical one, losing no opportunity of bringing out its full mean- 
 ing by the application of current history or local events. In 
 this \\i\y ail interest will bo excited, and more than all, the great 
 cbicct in the teachini»; of civil c'ovorunient Avill be more ucarlv

 attained, viz.. to cr(>at.e laAv-abidiiig citizens. The young people 
 must earlv lenrn the duties of tlie citizen and tlio individnal 
 responsibility of that ciri/on toward niaiiitaiiiing a stable govevn- 
 nient for the nation. 
 
 It ^vill 1)0 well lo deal wiih llic ditTcn-ent forms of govern- 
 ments, as administered in the eonnty, town, village, city, and 
 school districts. Those governments come within the immedi- 
 ate knoAvledge of the children or their parents, and a study of 
 details will be found jirofitable. It will be well also to take up 
 tlie subject of elections. The jiresent system of voting, known 
 as the "Australian" method, nniy be illustratc^d by securing 
 samples of the ballot. The method of numinations through pri- 
 mary caucuses is important. 
 
 If there is a literarv societv in conncvtion with the school, 
 mu(di assistance can be given to the sulrject of civil government 
 by ])r(n-iding for debates upon important national questicns, for 
 moot courts, and mock legislative deliberations. Every oppor- 
 tunity to visit the state legislature, tlie county board of supervis- 
 ors, the town meeting, and other assenddages of govenimental 
 character, should be im]U'o\'ed. I'ljr<!Ughout the entire work 
 on this subjecc an attc^mpt slumld be made to lia\c |iii|>ils realize

 ti</ns and of the details of govenniiciiial a<-ti\iiics may make 
 more intelligent citizens, but it does not necessarily make better

 GENEKAL SUGGESTI.OIVS OK SCIENCE TEACHING. 
 
 Science in tlie high school is desipied primarily for the pur- 
 pose of getting simple infonnation from text books and by ob- 
 serving phenoniena; later the purpose is toward classification, 
 so as to lead pupils toward possible inductions, and to confidence 
 in themselves that shall in turn profoundly stimulate their 
 activities. The discipline gained by having (a) a definite aim, 
 (b) a definite method to accomplish this aim, (c) the power 
 (if careful and accurate observation, (d) the ability to reach 
 C(;rroct conclusions, is impoi"t.ant. The extremes of these pur- 
 poses are found: (.1) In the instruction which attempts to 
 teach mere text-bool<, without the assistance of a suitable labo- 
 ratory or sufficient apparatus. This is manifestly a most 
 serious mistake, and no instructor should attempt the teaching 
 of a scientific subject unless the school has a. proper roomj or 
 place to carry on experimental work and can provide itself with 
 a suihililo amount of apparatus to make the subject practical, 
 (2) in those schools in which the j)iire laboratory method is 
 followed. Here the text-book is abandoned aaid pupils are set 
 at work to rediscover all the laws and reaffirm too many of the 
 principles that have concerned the scientists of' past ages. It 
 is unfoa-tunate that in many high schools the teaching force 
 is inadequate to give careful supervision to laboratory work, for 
 AN'itliont efficient supervision such work is likely to be worse 
 tliaii useless. \ATiatever laboratoi-v work is don© should be un- 
 der the close supeiwision of a competent instructor. The high 
 school laboTator)^ is no place for a pupil teacher. 
 
 The instructor in science should undertake to strike the 
 golden mean between these extremes. The text-book is a valua- 
 ble adjunct to the study of science and its utility should be 
 fully appreciated. Each subject under consideration should

 likewise practical subjects. 'No special laboratory is required, 
 hcwever; the apparatus used in physics and botany can be em- 
 ployed in these branches. 
 
 Psychology^ is worthy of students' attention, and pedagogy, 
 though chiefly beneficial to the prospective teacher, gives in- 
 formation which every intelligent citizen should possess, 
 
 SUGGESTIOTs'S, 
 
 The field of original investigation is beyond the high school 
 student; it lielongs to the colleg'e post-graduate. 
 
 Experiments for dis]ilay and entertainiuent are appropriate 
 for evening shows, but are not productive of the best results for 
 the student of science. 
 
 Laboratories should be provided with suitable tables and 
 blackboards. They should be well lighted and provided with 
 means for darkenijig the windows. 
 
 The pupils can, under the direction of the teacher, make much 
 simple but useful apparatus outside of school hours. The cau- 
 tion here is, however, to employ the pupils as students of science, 
 not as carpenters and blacksmiths. 
 
 EEFERENCE BOOKS. 
 
 The "aim has been to select a few good reference books, and 
 books in the ^^'arious divisions of science which are written in 
 such a way as to interest the pupils. 
 
 When possible, all reading in the«e l)ooks should be accom- 
 panied by observation and experimentation. Teacher and pu- 
 pils must read many of them together.

 PHYSICS. 
 
 The first element of success in teaching physics is to- interest 
 the niembei's of the class in the snbject. It is a comparatively 
 easy matter to accomplish this end, owing to the fact that this 
 branch deals with matters of e^^ery-day observation, such as 
 light, heat, soand, motion, electricity, etc. Owing to this fact, 
 illustrations in every department of physics may be drawn from 
 daily experiences. ]\IoreoA"er, many of tbe principles of phys- 
 ics can be readily demonstrated so that students may see the 
 beauties whicli exist in the phenomena of nature. When their 
 interest is thorougldy aroused, even the obscure parts of the 
 subject acquire a now meaning through their coimectiou: v;: 
 the ])arts wliir-li are more easily understood. 
 
 A demonstration of a principle im physics fixes it in the 
 student's mind so that in recalling an experiment which lie lias 
 seen he will not fail to grasp the principle which that experi- 
 ment illustrares. Xo other science lends itself to exhibitition 
 more easily than pliysi,cs, and there are few of its principles 
 which cannot be illustrated before a class. In all cases it should 
 l;o pointed out tliat the law of nature operates whenever the 
 operator supplies the necessary conditions, and it is the object 
 of the experiment, and, indeed, the object of the study of physi-os 
 to cbseiwe and to study the laws of the universe. 
 
 The teacher should remember that the pupil is not likely to 
 gi'asp a subject at first presentation, and that it must be ap- 
 iiroached from manv sides and with manv illustrations. Even 
 then a student does not fully c^nnprehend the subject till he 
 himself has dealt with it, and therefore it is desirable that 
 students not only re])eat tbe experiments shown l)y the in- 
 stinictor, but that others be devised, tending to make clearer 
 the principle. Tbis should be done by the class in small sec- 
 tions, if ttlie class be large, and not during the hour of recita- 
 tion. Whatever suljjocts are studied, the experiments which 
 the students themselves perform should not he undertaken in

 Suitable for elementary work. Excellent for use in the eighth 
 grade. The special features of the book are, the experiments may 
 be performed with very simple and inexpensive apparatus ; they 
 are illustrative of fundamental principles ; they are interesting to 
 the pupils because they are new to them : while most of them are 
 qualitative, and. therefore, better adapted to the abilities and uses 
 of the pupils, enough of them are quantitative to furnish needed 
 training in that line.

 An excellent reference book for high schools. Excellent for 
 reference in Physical geography. It is not a compendium of as- 
 tronomy or an outline course of popular reading in that science. 
 It has been pi-cpared as a text-book, and the author has purposely 
 omitted from it much matter interesting as well as important to 
 a complete view of the science, and has endeavored to concentrate 
 attention upon those parts of the sulyeet that possess special edu- 
 cational value. 
 
 Contents : Different kiuds of measurement ; Stars and their di- 
 urnal motion ; Fixed and wandering stars ; Celestial mechanics ; 
 Karth as a planet ; Measurement of time ; ICcIiiises ; Instruments 
 and the principles involved in their use ; Moon ; Sun ; I'lanets ;

 mar school grades of education in this country. No one has gone 
 
 so far toward solving the burning question of nature teaching, and 
 to every instructor in these subjects this volume will be not only 
 instructive hut inspiring. I'ulike the authors of most of the many 
 nature-study manuals now current. I'rofessor Hodge has been for 
 some years the head of a University Department, is a specialist 
 in two or more of the fields of biology, and has made original con- 
 tributions of value to the sum of human knowledge. His mind 
 thus moves with independence, authority, and unusual command 
 of the resources in the field here treated. 
 
 This work is opportune because it stimulates spontaneous out- 
 of-door interests. It is with almndant reason that we find now on 
 every hand a growing fear of the effects of excessive confinement, 
 sedentary attitudes, and institutionalizing influences in the school. 
 Such work as is here described must tend to salutary progress in 
 the direction of heaUh."

 Lakes, like mountains and rivers, have life histories which exhibit 
 varying stages from youth through maturity to old age. The trac- 
 ing of the life histories of lakes, and the recognition of the numer- 
 ous agencies that vary their lives, and lead lo their death, gives to 
 this branch of physiography one of its principal charms. The his- 
 tory of the lakes of North America is considered in their origin, 
 movements of waters, changes they i)roduce in the t()i)()graphy of 
 their shores, their relations to climate, their geological functions, 
 and their connection with plmil and animal life. .\ very r(>:i(lal)le

 BOTANY. 
 
 The aim that should be insisted upon in the teaching of botany 
 in the high school is purely a pedagogical one, namely, to make 
 of the student to just the extent of the botany studied, a more 
 perfect, more powerful man or woman. Wlien the course is 
 completed, the teacher should be al)le to recognize something 
 definite and positive as having been accomplished in each of the 
 following points: 
 
 The development of originality and independence of thought. 
 
 The abilitv to see the relation between cause and effect. 
 
 The faculty to observe closely, and to see a thing in all its 
 parts and bearings. i 
 
 Training of the hand to express exactly and neatly, either 
 by words or by drawings, what the eye sees and the mind con- 
 ceives. 
 
 Fixed habits of patient, unremitting inquiry. 
 
 The practical question for the teacher of botany is simply 
 this: What to select for his pupils to study and how to set 
 them about it. 
 
 The first thins; that should be done is to work out the condi- 
 tions of plant life and economy, as illustrated by typical, closely 
 relat<:'d flowering plants. One might say to a class beginning 
 the studv of botanv : "We are to investigate during the course 
 upon which we are now starting, the question of Getting on in 
 the world from the standpoint of a plant" (as, for example, a 
 geranium in full flower placed before pupils). "We want to 
 find out by very careful study and experiment the conditions, — 
 the elements (;f success in life, considered solely frcni the point 
 of view of the })lants." Obviously this constitutes a problem, 
 and ci problem just as definite as a problem in algebra, or a 
 question concernine: the success of anv man or nation. By 
 
 lot «^ 
 
 thus stating a problem that can bo clearly comprehended at the 
 outset, little time Mall be lost; there will be no rambling or

 Tn dealing witli tliis jti'(il)leui ef lio>r dors; iJic plant succeed 
 ill life, one slionld begin where the life of tlie plant negins — 
 with tlie seed — and from that pidnt trace its life-historv step 
 l>y step through its develojniuMit into the adult ])lant, to the 
 ])oint where the seeds are once more foi-nied, thus completing 
 the cycle of life. Of conrse, in all the phases and stages of this 
 study of a life history, it is not necessary or desiralile for the 
 teacher to confine himself toi the same plant or the same species 
 of plants even. It is sntticiont that any idants or parts of ])lants 
 ho used that are rejiresentatives of a common class.

 In the study of each phase of rhis life-pro1)leni there should 
 1k' introduced, just sc far as tunc wilt periait. other moi-e or

 the (IrnAviiia^s mi<I notes should bo completed at the time tlie study 
 is made, niid i^liuuld never be copied. Such a plan will eventu- 
 al Iv lead l(> accurate work done at first trial; while if the stu- 
 dent is ]icnnitted to make rough sketches and huridod descrip- 
 scripti.ons at ihe time he is studying the plant, to be 'Svritten 
 u})" afterwards, he will l)e encouraged to do careless, superficial 
 observation, and inaccurate work. 
 
 Perhaps the most satisfactory note Iwok is one made from 
 lu^avy paper, which can be obtained from any printing office, 
 cut to a convenient size, and punched for binding in some con- 
 venient manner, — the back of an old book or heavy manila card- 
 l>oard maki.ng a good binder. The best pencil for the drawings 
 is a Fa her "0 II." Good simple microscopes witli hand-rests 
 can be had for $1.25 each. Enough should be provided by the 
 school, together with dissecting knife and ])air of needles, to 
 furnish each student wifh a set. Most of the work of this course 
 requires no use of a compound microscope; but at times, in order 
 to fully carry out the scheme, its need is imperative.:, and every 
 high school should be supplied witli enough to make it possible 
 for students to personally study the microscopic structure of the 
 things, an understanding of which is necessary to the full solu- 
 tion of the pToblem they are investigating. 
 
 If jnicroscopes cannot be provided, thcai the teacher must sub- 
 stitute drawings on the blackboard, to be discussed aud inter- 
 preted l)y the class together. 
 
 If the time of the teacher is so occupied that it is impossible 
 to devote a period distinct from the recitation period to labora- 
 tory work every day, it will be found the best plan to alternate 
 the laboratory work ^vith the recitation. Less ground can be 
 covered in that way, but in a, much more satisfactory manner 
 than if the students are left to work by themselves. In many 
 cases the ground which the teacher attempts to cover is far too 
 wild} : and the result is a superficial view that breeds a contempt 
 for the study. Be content to do a little thoroughly. 
 
 The plan outliued "\^dll not only secure the culture for the

 student, but Avill result in giving him the fulk^st infonnation, 
 tho greatest familiarity ^\\\\\ the phmt worhl about him ; for 
 there is no limit, — cxeept the limit set by time — to the amount 
 of comparative study that nuiy be done.. But a comparative 
 study of phmts implies a clearly defined point of departure, — 
 a ti/pe tlioroughlif mastered on ^vhich to base comparisons; and 
 with tltal acc'iiiiplislied each new i)lant that is introduced will 
 he alive with meaning based upon its relationships, and these 
 meanings will all fit together to form a perfect wdiole, instead 
 of being a mass of dead, disconnected facts, or unrelated, un- 
 organized items of information.

 "This volume is the natural product of many years devoted by 
 the author to studying the speech and liabits of monkeys. That 
 naturally led him up to the study of the great apes. The matter 
 contained in this work is chiefly a record of the tabulated facts 
 gleaned from his special field of research. The aim in view is to 
 convey to the casual reader a more correct idea than now prevails 
 concerning the physical, mental, and social liabits of apes and 
 monkeys and to prepare him for a wider appreciation of animals 
 in general. 
 
 lieliev'ng that a more perfect knowledge of these animals will 
 bring man into closer fellowship and deeper sympathy with nature.

 insects. Tliis book has full-life histories, giving an intimate account 
 of the most wonderful facts in that insect world all around us. 
 which is so completely unknown, even to scientists. There is today 
 almost nothing that covers authoritatively, yet popularly, this vast 
 field, so that the present volume has special importance. With the 
 300 text cuts and the 16 colored and 32 black and white pages made 
 direct from the insects tuemselves, the subject is abundantly as 
 well as beautifully pictured." 
 
 This volume should only be pvirchased by the largest libraries.

 ence to animal ecology — that is, the relations of animals to their 
 surroundings and their responsive adaptation to these surroundings. 
 Part II treats of animal forms, dealing mostly with monihology. 
 Types of life from the lowest to the highest are dealt with. The 
 book will be found valuable for reference in the subjects of zoology, 
 physical geography, and Nature study.

 Divided into three parts. Part 1 is an introduction to an elemen- 
 tary knowledge of animal structure, function, and development. It 
 consists of practical exercises in the laboratory, each followed by a 
 recitation in which the significance of the facts already observed 
 is pointed out. Part 2 is devoted to a consideration of the princi- 
 pal branches of the animal kingdom : it deals with systematic zool- 
 ogy. Part 3 is devoted to a necessarily brief consideration of cer- 
 tain of the more conspicuous and interesting features of animal 
 ecology. It has in it the suggestion for much interesting field-work.

 "In my ijrevious bool<s I have tried to emphasize our kinship 
 with the animals by showing that in them we can find the virtues 
 most admired in man. Lobo stands for dignity and love-constaiicy ; 
 Silverspot, for sagacity ; UedrufC, for obedience. In this volume, 
 Majesty, Grace, the power of Wisdom, the sweet uses of adversity, 
 and the two-edged sorrows of rebellion are similarly .set forth. 
 The material of the accounts is true. The chief liberty taken is in 
 ascribing to one animal tlie adventures of several." — From the 
 author's preface. 
 
 These stories may be read and told to the children of the lower 
 and middle forms. 
 
 The animal stories embraced under this title are : Krag, the

 This is a popular and intimate account of the nests, eggs and 
 breeding habits of the land birds that nest in the Eastern United 
 States. It is the first time that this subject has been adequately 
 treated for the general reader, and the book is a revelation of bird 
 "personality" in many ways. Particularly notable are the illus- 
 trations Hn color, and black and w-hite), all of which were made 
 directly from the nests and birds by the author. The notes on bird 
 photography and on the rearing of young birds give information 
 not attainable elsewhere and of great interest to nature-lovers and 
 students.

 Mr. .lol) Iia-S for years made a special study of the gulls and 
 waterfowl whose life histories are the least known of our wild birds. 
 His photographs (generally made with a string over a hundred 
 yards long attached to the camera) are marvels of intimate bird 
 picturing. Many prominent members of the American Ornitholog- 
 ical T'nion have declared them une(pialed, and ISIr. Job's pen is 
 almost as ready as his camera. At .«ea, in the- far north, and in 
 the swamps of Dakota where they breed, he has studied these gulls, 
 ducks and geese to such good purpose that his entertaining iian-aiive 
 contains much of real new information.

 titled to their own largo share. It is interesting to know that in

 find, in the many excellent text-books on formal rhetoric, any ade- 
 quate discussion of this subject that he could use with his own 
 classes. The authors of many recent text-books have assumed 
 that the study of rlietoric is the study of style, and nothing more.

 In 111!' iili'i-ary society and in I he rlu'loric-al work of Ihi' blKb 
 sclioid, the debate is gaining jtroniiiience as the best means for 
 developing the expressive powers of the pni)ils. The free discus- 
 sion of questions of state and nation, especially during political 
 campaigns, calls not only for a mastery of the facts concerning 
 them, but also for ability to present them in a logical manner and 
 with the greatest effectiveness. IMiis book will be found a good 
 helper in i)romoting these ends. It li'eats of: 1. Nature of debate: 
 li.* Subjects of debate: :'>, I'reliminary work: 4. Rurden of proof;

 as : "The call to arms" ; Patrick Henry ; America's Duty to Greece,

 of reading ; to interpret life ; to give power and information ; 
 to uplift by giving new ideals and inspirations; and to cultivate 
 a taste for good reading. The pupil ought' to be taught how to 
 read, liow to handle a book, how to use an index, how to read 
 to a topic, and liow to read by skipping. 
 
 LITERARY MERIT. 
 
 Judgments in literary merit can only be formed after wide 
 reading and many comparisons. As the student ni'akes these 
 comparisons he is building up his conception of style. Is the 
 author clear in his statements ? What of his skill in narration 
 and illustration? Are his descriptions vivid? IIow does he 
 interpret nature ? Are his men and women real flesh auid blood ? 
 How does this composition compare with others of the same 
 kind ? AYitli others by the same author ? 
 
 WHAT TO READ, 
 
 ''If literature lie the life of the people, it should also prepare 
 for that kind of life in which the child is forced to live, imme- 
 diately after passing out of school. While there may bo room 
 for discussion as to the style in which thought should be ex- 
 pressed, it is beyond dispute that the clearest writers, those who 
 use the language to express unmistakably what they mean, those 
 who deal with subjects that are nearest to the daily life of the 
 people themselves, ought to become a part of the mental fur- 
 nishing of each high school pupil."--!. M. Greenwood. 
 
 Lists of novels, essayists, and poets in the library should be 
 made out, from which pupils may select what they wish to read. 
 At least six novels should be read, each liy a. different author, 
 part of them portraying life and part of them character. The 
 students should read enough, poetry by six different poets and 
 essays by six different essayists to get a fair idea of their way 
 of writing, as well as to get the uplift and power which come 
 from reading. It is best to have all in the class reading novels, 
 poetry, or essays at the same time,— though after the first two

 or three pieces of literature read together to s'how how to study, 
 it is best to have students read different works of literature in 
 any one line. The library law providing for libraries in the 
 schools now extends to higli schools in cities of the fourth class, 
 so that schools ought to have books to cany on this work. 
 Teachers will find the notes on the books in this list especially 
 valuable in teaching literature and directing literary readings. 
 
 PLACE OF niSTOEY OF LITERATURE^ BIOGRAPHY AND LITERARY 
 
 CRITICISM. 
 
 History of literahtre : A short course in history of literature, 
 • — taking the history in great epochs, — these epochs based upon 
 the kind of literatui-c produced, — may be of value in the study of 
 literature. Tlie history should serve as a frame-work to keep the 
 reading organized and to help the student to get some idea of the 
 entirety of literature. In the study of the history of literature 
 some of the most typical pieces of literature miglit bo read in a 
 cui*sory way. It ^vill scarcely lie licst to attempt anything be- 
 fore the period of Shakespeare. 
 
 The histoiy of literature should com© in the last term's work 
 in litxjrature. 
 
 Place of biofjraphij: When the student becomes so filled -udth 
 the writings of any author that his personality becomes of in- 
 terest then the biography may be read with ]»rofit. But the 
 Inography of an aulliof -li<iiild always ]yo approaclicd tlirough his 
 writing. In llic lilcrai-y |ii'(idncf !<in llic wrilci- lias gi\-cn us the 
 l)est of himself. 
 
 Place of the Icxl-book and literary criticism : After the stu- 
 dent has read and made his judgments it is well to compare 
 these judgments with those of critics, as found in his text-book, 
 periodicals, and essays in criticism. The text-book should 
 alwavs be an aid in the work, not nn otd. When tliO studv of

 things iiiav Ix' found, and l)rings together in compact firm jndg- 
 inents on antliors in tlicir writings. 
 
 College entranee reqirirenienis: Essays, poetry, and fiction 
 indicated as college entrance requirements, should fall in their 
 proper placet ^^'ith other' compositions of the same kind, — reser\'- 
 ing those intended lor more intensive study till tlie last part of 
 tlie course. 
 
 THE RECITATION. 
 
 In bciiinninff the work in anv form of literature it is well t(j 
 take one book or piece of literature, and for teachers and pupils 
 to work together until the pupils gain some insight into the right 
 way of reading. 
 
 Foi' pcHon is siKjgestcd : Ivanhoc- — a picture of past life. 
 Silas ]\[arner — a study of character development. Rise of Silas 
 Lapham — a study of American, life, a novel of theme and a 
 novel of character study. 
 
 For poelnj is siujf/eslcd : Vision of Sir Launfal, Lady of the 
 Lake, The Princess, or a similar long poem which furnishes suf- 
 ficient variety to cover wtu-k outlined under poetry. 
 
 For essays is suggesled : Hunting of the Deer, or any sh<)rt 
 essay from pupils' readers. 
 
 Then let the pupil select from a given list of books such as he 
 Avill like to read, — tlie teacher guiding the choice throug-li the 
 ])U})ils' interests. In his -^tudy and recitations he should follow 
 the models, studied with the teacher. 
 
 The work iu reading and in class should be definite and clear. 
 The student's judgments should be based upon facts he can point 
 out. It is not enoiioii that he savs the music is smooth and 
 flowing — he must recite or read the portions he considers 
 "smooth aiul flowing" and tell what makes them so. If he call 
 a poem imaginative he must prove his statement l\y selecting 
 the imaginative portions.

 Tlie value of the study of literature^ will ho greatly ciilianeed 
 l)v the constant memorizing of such portions (/f literature as have 
 appealed to the sindciit in his reading, and certaiu recitations 
 should he devoted to the reciting of memory gems. 
 
 Rememher, that in all this work the teacher must know as 
 far a'^ possihh- what is in the jinjiil's mind — for the pupil cau 
 only understand and fed \\\ the assistance of what he has already 
 experienced, felt, and leanieih lie ran only assimilate new 
 ideas hy means of his presrut ones. K^■ery new relation of the 
 idea helps to correct, clear, and extend the meaning, and instead 
 of trying to get thc' wla le meaning in its one i"elation it is often 
 tetter to read on, getting at truth in (liferent relations and 
 deepening and enriching experience at tlie same time. 
 
 Tt is im]H>ssil)le for a student at any one time of his life to 
 coni])rcheiid the whole of a piece of literature, no^ matter how 
 umch tijuc is spent in studynig it.

 as well as in the high sehool this cnrsorv reading mnst l>e carrieil 
 < n. (^nrsory reading does not mean skimminig through a. book 
 and throwing it aside M-ith no further thought — it means rapid 
 reading to get the pith and point — which iynplies shitt in the 
 right iLTay of reading and in tlie use of hoolcs. Says John Bur- 
 roughs, "The way tliey teaeh literature in tihe schools and col- 
 leges is calculated to kill any love for it. It seems to me I 
 \vould lose my love of Shakespeare if I had to dissect him, and 
 find out the meaning of every word and expression. I want to 
 I'ide buo^-antly over the waves. I want to feel the wind and the 
 motion — not talk about them. If I had to teach litera,ture, I 
 har(l]y know myself how I would do it. You can't by bearing 
 en — you can't by mere intellectual force on a book show its 
 charm. It appeals to the emotions. You have got to approach 
 it in a different way. You must lie fluid. All I should hope to 
 do would be to give the student the key to the best literature. 
 We would read books together. We would read good books and 
 we would read poor books. I would say, Svell, we won't talk; 
 wo will road and see. Here is a poor book — don't you see? It's 
 (A'crdrawn — 't isn't delicate !' I would get at books in their sen- 
 timont and o-eneral character, not in their details. If you tear 
 it all in to bits, you haven't the thing itself any more." 
 
 LINES OF READING. 
 
 Literary reading should include all lines of reading. So far 
 as possililo the pupils should be giiided in their choice of reading 
 through their interests. Lists of books which are in the library 
 should bo made out in the various lines of reading from which 
 the |»u[)ils may select the liooks they wish to read. It is not 
 necessary that all the jjupils in a, class read the sa(me book, or 
 books on the same su])ject. 'Nor is it necessary that a pupil read 
 a book from cover to cover. Many times only a portion of a, 
 book will appeal to a pupil — or be of value to him. This is 
 especially so in science liooks, books of poetry, and books

 INTERESTS. 
 
 The teacher cannot gnide the pupils' reading- unless she makes 
 a careful study of their interests and needs. She must lead 
 them from the interests of today to higher and wider interests 
 and utilize at every step interests gained in other linos of work. 
 She must take advantage of interests closely related to old in- 
 terests, or those naturally gTOwing out of old interests; in- 
 terests created by pupils' environment, as Indian relics in Wis- 
 consin ; interests in current events coming to his notice; as, 
 a circus in tOAvn, the Spanish- Auierican War, the celebration of 
 Washington's Birthday, etc., etc. ; interests created by airother's 
 interests; as reading a book because another says it is good. 
 Make the ])ni)iTs present interest the basis which shall determine 
 bis present lino of reading. Tf he is interested in fiction only, 
 llici) ii-ivc him a list of fiction from: which ho nniy select a book 
 to read. YiX ([nestioning, by directing his attention, (.r arousing 
 his curiosity, he may bo made interested in some character, place, 
 fact, or event in the book, and this interest may be made the basis 
 for future reading. Thus a pupil reading Ivanhoe may be led 
 to read English history by arousing an interest in Eichard, the 
 Lion-Hearted. Again, a pupil who has read a story of Holland 
 may be led to read a book of travel in Holland, l>ecausc of interest 
 aronsed in the manners and customs of that country. Tf the 
 ])ni)ils' present interest is in history, science, or olhci' lint'S of 
 work, a similar plan may be pursued. The work will have to be 
 largely individual.

 not expect them t(» cover all tlu^ ni iuts in the < urliiic. Tie may 
 ask for a single point — as descri;)ti( iis < f idiaracters in the hodk 
 ^vhich may he considered as types. The student may be asked 
 to he a])le to report on homes and snrrcaindings, and amusements 
 for the next lecitation. Successive topics may he taken up with 
 the same li()i:ks or others until the ])upil has a fairly goo(l idea 
 of what he is expected tu get < nt <d' the novel of life. After 
 ccnsideralile ])ractico he will he ahle to discuss all the points in 
 a single hcok. 
 
 THE EECITATIOX. 
 
 For convenience the classes should he divided into groups — 
 the smaller, the hotter; each group meeting the teacher twice 
 a week for forty or foi*ty-iive minutes to report. 
 
 The recitations .sluaihl consist of reports of what has heen 
 read, and these reports should he oral. The recitati(ui ( night 
 to be an exchange of impressions and feelings, a talking over of 
 Mdiat has been found enjoyable, good, beautifid, and helpful. 
 The pupil nutkes his report as a contributicui to the whole and 
 stands ready to ansAver questions by his class-mates and teachers; 
 to discuss with them what he has found; and to compare his 
 jtidgments with theirs. Thus all take part in the recitation and 
 attention is secured. The reports should not be t<;o much in de- 
 tail and should follow in oeneral the i>lan of reading outlined 
 in Lifcidliire. It is not necessary that the students in any one 
 group reaxl and report on the same book or on different books in 
 the same subject.

 The literature has been presented in its relation to the larger 
 life of the nation, and to the literatures of England and the conti- 
 nent of Kurope, for only so can American literature be completely 
 understood and its significance perceived. The greater writers 
 have the larger amount of space given them, although the minor 
 authors have not been neglected. The appendix contains nearly 
 forty pages of extracts from not easily accessible colonial news- 
 I)apers and magazines, a bil)liography of colonial and revolutionary 
 literature (13 p.), a reference list of books and articles, and 
 index.

 drick. N. Y., Hinds & Noble, '1902. 118 p. S. 
 cl 75 . fi? 
 
 "The aim of tliis manual is to facilitate the systematic, careful. 
 end appreciative study of literature as literature. It coiiceiitrales 
 attention upon the text itself, iml upon editorial exidanal ion or 
 comment. It furnishes means by which the student may ascertain 
 for himself the chief characteristics of the hook studied. It ac- 
 quaints him with thr fundamental princiiiles of literary construc- 
 tion, and asks him to decide for himself how far these principles 
 have been observed. Not to present ready-made opinions for his 
 acceptance, but to teach him to see for himself and to judge for 
 himself is the aim throujihouf. 
 
 Each hook is treated as a type, a representative of a class, so 
 that the study of a few books may oi)en the way to the apprecia- 
 tion of many. 
 
 Outlines are given for the study of six literary types: in poetry, 
 the epic, lyric, and drama : in prose, liction. tiie essay, and the ora- 
 tion." — Prtforr.

 "An attempt has here been made to present the history of Eng- 
 lish literature from the earliest times to our own day, in a histori- 
 cal scheme simple enough to be apprehended by young students, 
 yet accurate and substantial enough to serve as a permanent 
 basis for study, however far the subject is pursued. But within 
 the limits of this formal scheme, the fact has been held constantly 
 in mind that literature, being the vital and fluid thing it is, must 
 be taught, if at all, more by suggestion, and by stimulation of the 
 student's own instinctive mental life, than by dogmatic asser- 
 tion."- — Preface. 
 
 Emphasis has been placed upon the chief authors of each era and 
 many minor writers who are given unnecessary space in some texts 
 are omitted. An excellent working bibliography for further read- 
 ing is given.

 of tlie Roses, and the reigns of tlie Tudors were set fortli in a long 
 series of chronicle plays and historical dramas. In these, as in 
 the lyrics and ballads that more commonly express the Stuart 
 reigns, the tendency is to concentrate attention on royal and noble 
 p(>rsonages rather than on the life of the nation as a whole. It is 
 a stately and a tragic story as the poets tell it, — too stately and 
 too tragic to give an altogether just impression of the growth of 
 a great people ; but it furnishes the dramatic outline to which a 
 fuller knowledge may easily relate itself. 
 
 The present book illustrates, by carefully chosen selections from 
 English poetry, the history of England from Queen Boadicea to 
 Queen Vjptoria. Notes introductory to the selections carry on a 
 connected account of principal events and make manifest the his- 
 toric bearing of each poem. Further notes, at the end of the book, 
 explain allusions and difficulties in the text, and also set the poets 
 right in flagrant cases of misreporting." — Preface.

 Hamilton JMabie says: — "The novel is eontenipoTaneoiis ^vith 
 a iK'Av and deepening consciousness of human relationship and 
 ohligatioii. Today we feel more distinctly thau ever before the 
 pervasive influence of other lives upon our lives. We are 
 weighted down as never before by a sense of our incalculable ob- 
 lio-ations to our fellows. We no longer think of ourselves as 
 alone, but always in the thick of relationships of every kind and 
 quality, — in the solitude of our own souls we are conscious of the 
 whole conscious, suffering world about us." 
 
 Fiction: Miction portrays life on the social side as no other 
 form of literature does. Social conditions, standards, forces, 
 and conventions are revealed, and the problem of the individual 
 life is worked out with full recognition of countless social in- 
 fluences. 
 
 Special aims in studying fiction : — 
 
 a. To enjoy the story. 
 
 b. To picture life portrayed. 
 
 c. To judge character portrayed. 
 
 d. To trace character development. 
 
 NOVELS POKTKAYING LIFE. 
 
 ''By sympatlietic insight into life of the most diverse aspects 
 and under the most diverse conditions it (the novel) quickens 
 C'Ur appreciation of the life each of us can see around him, makes 
 us more tolerant of the difl'erences of taste and character in our 
 neighbor, more awake to the humor and pur|X)se of this existence 
 of ours. In a word, the novel gives us humanity." 
 
 To picture the life portrayed study the things which go to make 
 up the life of any community — descriptions of the environment, 
 characters as types, appearance and dress, food, homes, and sur- 
 roundings, aniusements, religion, occupations, education, and 
 language. 
 
 Much of the material found in novels portraying life, can be 
 used in geograj^hy.

 KOVELS PORTKAYING CHARACTEE;, CTIARACTER DEVELOPMENT^ 
 
 AND LESSONS IN RIGHT DOING. 
 
 Character is revealed tlirough description and aiialvsis by the 
 author, by conversation, by the feeling, and attitude of charac- 
 ters toward each other, eTudgnnents n})on individual character 
 and upon lines of action should be formed from a study of the 
 foregoing points. Conditions, standards, and forces which in- 
 fluence the character for good or evil should be considered. In 
 tracing character development, trace the changes which take place 
 in the character, and study the conditions, ideals, and forces sur- 
 rounding the character which bring about the changes, 
 
 HISTORICAL NOVELS. 
 
 Historical nction makes histoiy real for it reveals not only the 
 life but the spirit of the times. Properly read it helps the pupil 
 to see and feel history. Manners and customs, that is characters 
 as ty|3es, homes, surroundings, food, clothing, ways of travel, 
 amusements, occupations, mode of warfare, language, religion, 
 etc., etc., "as touched upon in the story should be noted. The his- 
 torical events upon which the story is based should be read. The 
 teaciher should help the pupils tO' fomn higli ideals of life and 
 character, and encourage tlicni to admire I ho good, tlio true, tlic 
 noble. 
 
 GOOD STORIES. 
 
 Let the pupils read some books simply for the joy of reading. 
 The story of adventure will always interest the pupil and in se- 
 lecting these care has. been taken that they are not sensatinii;il 
 and not such as will lead him to poorer literature. 
 
 Above all, give the pupils liealthy, simple and pui-olovo stories. 
 Tliey are bound to read tliem, and unless they can get them from 
 the library, they will get Ihcm cl-cwlicre and most likely they 
 M'ill not be the l)c;st kind.

 (Lord Lytton) N. Y., Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 
 n. d. 600 p. D. cl 
 
 Tlie scene of the story is in England at the time of the "War of 
 Roses". The aim has been to illustrate the actual history of the 
 period, and to bring into a fuller display than History has, the 
 characters of the principal personages of the time ; the motives by 
 which they were actuated ; the state of parties ; the condition of 
 the people ; and the great social interests which were involved in 
 what, regarded imperfectly, appear but the feuds of rival factions. 
 
 The liero is Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, whose downfall is 
 the main point of the stoi-y. 
 
 Pupils will gain a better idea of this important age, character- 
 ized by the decline of the feudal system, and immediately preceding 
 the great change in society whicli is usually dated from the acces- 
 sion of Henry VII by reading this booii than he will get from wad- 
 ing through, a vast mass of chronicles.

 occasional naive self-betrayals on the part of the visiting strangers 
 that are constantly entertaining.

 story of battle and prison, of peril and escape. 
 Warren Lee Goss. N. Y., Thomas Y. Crowell & 
 Co., C1889. 404 p. il. D. cl 1.50 
 
 "In this story the author has aimed to furnish true pictures of 
 scenes in the great civil war, and not to produce spnsational effects. 
 The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the 
 writer s personal experiences and observations, as a soldier of the 
 Union, during that war. He is also indebted to many comrades 
 for reminiscences of battle and prison life. The perilous escape 
 of Jed and Dick from Andersonville down the Flint and Apalachi- 
 cola rivers, to the Gulf of ISIe.xico, is in substance the narrative of 
 a comrade whom the writer knew at Andersonville, and afterwards 
 met when the war closed. 'I'he descriptions of the prison are espe- 
 cially truthful, for in them the ,'iuthor briefly tells what he himself 
 saw. 
 
 There is not a description of battle or camp scene in the book 
 that is not as faithful to the reality as the author can make it, and 
 he believes that these sketches will be recognized as true by the 
 veterans of the war who may chance to read them." — Preface.

 253 p. S. cl 60 .40 
 
 "The short stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne may be described 
 as black-and-white work leading up to the great canvasses which 
 best display his power: The Scarlet Letter and the other full- 
 length novels. Most of them belong to the Salem days when Haw- 
 thorne, a lonely recluse, was impelled to body forth his imagin- 
 ings and, looking into liis own heart, expressed in terms of human- 
 ity as he then knew it, the symbolic significances of the eternal 
 spirit of man. The qualities of the tales are derived from his prime 
 characteristics as a young man, conditioned by the somewhat bleak 
 eavironment in which they were produced. For this very reason 
 these stories are, after all. as typical as anything he ever did and 
 well-nigh as interesting ; while they may not show us Hawthorne 
 in his master years nor illustrate tlie rich maturity of a great 
 artist, they do have the impress of his essential features ; they are 
 Hawtliornesque to the core." — Preface.

 A realisric romance of the folk of the forest and a pioneer's 
 daughter whose liome is in the deptlis of the ancient wood. The 
 wild beasts of the wood become her friends and she learns to care 
 more for them than for the human kind. 
 
 "Tlie book stands alone — it is like no other. The talking beasts 
 of tlie wondrous Jungle tales are fabulous. The thinking wild 
 animals Mr. Seton-Thompson has known are character studies. 
 Hut in "The Heart of the Anc'ent Wood" there is a iirolilem di-ama. 
 The imagination is subtler than in the adventures of Mowgli ; the 
 report orial correctness is as unimpeachable as in the biography 
 of Wahb : and in addition there is the fact of a master novelist 
 turning to the unfathomed sympathies and dramatic possibilities 
 of the relation of the human to the animal as seriously and a.s 
 analytically as INIr. llowells turns to his familiar people." — The 
 Criterion.

 "The experiences in Ireland of Penelope, Francesca, and Salem- 
 ina, — the same fun-loving trio of unconventional travelers who 
 made such amusing excursions through England and Scotland. The 
 quality of the books defies definition. It is all spontaneous fun, 
 innocent mischief, and pure sentiment, — elusive in definition, but 
 most certain in entertainment. The three friends visit picturesque 
 localities and out of the way places, every turn of the road making 
 its contribution to their joyous progress. The narrative is mostly 
 of travel and sigiit-seeiug, but there is also a sprightly romance 
 in which Salemina falls a victim to an Irish lover."

 "These eight stories are made up from our Western Frontier 
 as it was in a past as near as yesterday and almost as by-gone 
 as the Revolution ; so swiftly do we proceed. They belong to each 
 other in a kinship of life and manners, and a little through the 
 nearer tie of having here and there a character in common. They 
 are about Indians and soldiers and events west of the Missouri. 
 In certain ones the incidents, and even some of the names, are 
 left unchanged from their original reality." — Preface.

 "As the Indians have no written characters, memorable events 
 are retained only in the minds of the people, and are handed down 
 by the elders to their children, and by these again transmitted to 
 their children, so passing from generation to generation. Until 
 recent years, one of the sacred duties of certain elders of the tribes 
 was the handing down of these histories to their successors. As 
 they repeated them, they impressed upon the hearer the importance

 Froissart's Chronicle is. in a certain sense, a sort of continua- 
 tion of Malory's novel. Malory's book gives a picture of knight- 
 hood in tlie twelfth and thirteenth centuries, while Froissart's is 
 a i)icture of knighthood in the fourteenth century. 
 
 I^roissart gives us real events occurr'ng in definite localities 
 while Malory's King Arthur is unhistorieal.

 403 p. il. D. cl 2.00 1.30 
 
 The introduction gives a short history (if the sources of the cycle 
 of .Arthurian romances which will lie helpful to the student of Eng- 
 lish literature. These romances should lie read by the classes in 
 Knglisb literature and English history. It gives a picture of 
 knighthood in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The only 
 changes from Malory's King Arthur are a modernization of the 
 spelling and a culling out of some parts of the story.

 A modernized version of tlie "'Mord' d' Arthur." Tlie original

 more valuable for use by the advanced classes in Literature.

 POETRY. 
 
 Poetry portrays tlic emotional side of life. It breathes tlie 
 joys, liopes, fears, sorrows, strivings, and aspirations of hnman- 
 ity. It gives ns tlio divine fire of genins, teaches us the love 
 if the beautiful, swings \\r iiitt^. the world of imagination, and 
 ( ncourages us to do and to be. A })oem is a Avork of art to be ad- 
 mired, and enjoyed, ajid felt. IMusie, beauty, imagination, pas- 
 sion, insight, inspiration, and faith are the essential character- 
 istics of poetiy and these are v/lmt should be studied. 
 
 Music: Ivoad tlie poetry to the pupils so as to bring out the 
 uiusic and let them read it that way. They will soon find that 
 music is varied, sonietimes smooth and flowing; again, rough and 
 broken; sometimes light and quick, again heavy and slow mov- 
 ing. Analyzing a number of poems by a single poet they will 
 find tliat there is a sameness a,1)Out his way of singing; that 
 Tennyson's music is varied, polished and exquisite ; that Bryant's 
 music is deep, full, and resounding; that Kiley's is dainty and 
 light. Comparisons of different poets will lead to a, better under- 
 standing of each one. 
 
 Beaut ij: Ask the pu]>ils to select the beautiful pictures aaid 
 read them to the class. Ask them to see these pictures as they 
 are read, and encourage them to admire. Let them gather to- 
 gether the beautiful pictures painted by the poets and compare, 
 and they will find that Scott's pictures are highly colored; that 
 Tennyson gives us exquisite landscapes and beautiful pen por- 
 traits; that Byron paints nature in her grandeur; that Lowell's 
 pictures are full of life and l>eauty. A careful study of how 
 these pictures are pairded will bring out that some are in detail, 
 some in liroad strokes, some clearly outlined and some only sug- 
 gested. 
 
 Passion^ inspiration, insi(]lit, irutli and faitli : Call for tlie 
 passages the pupils like best and nearly always they will select 
 those expressing passion, inspiration, insight, tnith, and faith. 
 Because they select them, be sure they appreciate them to some

 degree. As tiiey read more and more, tliey will come to recog- 
 nize, name, ajid nnderstand these chai'acteristics, and to see that 
 they differ in different poets. Do not expect learned discnssion;?. 
 (iet Ihoni to give themsehcs up to those influences. 'They will 
 read Shelley and ^iilton and exercise their i magi nations. They 
 will leai'ii that some poets look deep into the human heart and see 
 hevoiid the svndiol, (he essence, and that is insight. They will 
 learn to look for tlie poet's faith in (jod and Immanity.

 Mr. Dunbar is a negro, born of negroes wlio were slaves, and in 
 whom there was no admixture of white blood. He was an elevator- 
 boy before and after lie began to write poems. Knowing these facts 
 it seems almost a miracle that he should liave produced this vol- 
 ume. Mr. Howells thinks the most original poems in the collection 
 are those written in the negro dialect and believes them a distinctly 
 new contribution to our literature. Of the whole volume lie says, 
 "He has at least produced something that, however we may criti- 
 cally disagree about it, we cannot well refuse to enjoy ; in more 
 than one piece he has produced a work of art."

 "This book has been prepared for an audience of general readers. 
 It naturally does not aim at appealing to the circle who read the 
 poem in the original : nor has there been any attempt to adapt it 
 to the requirements of those students who look upon English litera- 
 ture as a subject for examination to be 'got up' from 'set books'. 
 My rendering is not a line-for-line translation. But it has been 
 prepared for an increasing number of readers who, without being 
 scholars in Early English, are yet sufliciently interested in our 
 early literature to wish to read Tiers the Plowman for themselves, 
 either as pure literature, or in order to find the social history in it. 
 In connection with the teaching of English literature in schools, 
 and with lectures of different kinds under the University Extension 
 system, I hope the book may also be of use." — Preface.

 They give good pictures of the social and private life of the time. 
 
 "Aristophanes was the greatest of the Greek comic poets. His 
 comedies unite elements which meet nowhere in literature. There 
 is a pla.v of fancy as extravagant as in a modern burlescpie, a 
 humor as delicate, a literary satire as keen, as the most e.\(iuisite 
 wit could offer to the most subtle appreciation. There are lyric 
 strains of a wild woodland sweetness hardly to lie matched save iu

 '"The pupil in the secondary school may not always have the 
 time to pay any attention to the less important (ireek authors. It 
 may therefore be in many instances desirable to stop the class- 
 room use of the boolc at the end of the Attic period, adding only 
 enough from the later parts to make the pupils acquainted with 
 Theocritus, Callimachus, Appollonius Hhodius (especially if the 
 pupils have read or are to reaa Virgil). I'olybius, I'lutarch, and 
 Lucian. In the case of immature pupils, it may be well to omit 
 the chapter on the Homeric Question, and even the chapters on the 
 early prose writers." — Preface.

 senting the religious and ethical teachings of the i>rophet. It also 
 contains sayings of Mohammed which were said in a private un- 
 official way to his circle of intimate friends. This is the most 
 usable book of source material concerning Mohammedanism.

 John J. Lalor, ed. N. Y., Maynard, Merrill & Co., 
 1899. 3 vols. Q. cloth 5.00 4.50 
 
 "In no country in tlic world is the necessity of the study of 
 political science and political economy greater than in the United 
 States, in which every citizen is, directly or indirectly, — through 
 the medium of his vote — a legislator ; and yet, in no great coun- 
 try, perhaps, has the study of politics as a science been so utterly 
 neglected. Our experience as a people during the last decade has 
 demonstrated how very important it is to lay before the great body 
 of readers reliable works to which they may refer, wlien occasion 
 requires, for the principles by which all great national questions 
 are solved. The people of the United States for the past ten 
 years, to go no farther back in their history, have been, so to speak, 
 one great debating club, discussing such questions as the resump- 
 tion of specie payments, contraction of the currency, inflation of 
 the currency, money, paper money, the nature and cure of commer- 
 cial depressions, the demonetization of silver, banks, savings 
 banks, bi-metalli.'^m, the relations of capital and labor, tlie riglit of 
 employment, socialism, communism, strikes, railroad policy, civil 
 service, civil service reform, etc. 
 
 Other questions equally important are springing up every year, 
 both in the national and state legislatures, questions relating to in- 
 terest, the hours of labor, taxation, temperance, etc. These and 
 kindred questions are, or may very easily become, questions of pr&c-

 tical politics, or of political economy as applied to politics. In the 
 present work these and similar subjects can be found discussed, 
 from the standpoint of the statesman and lesiislator, by the best 
 minds of the age, each under its proper title and in alphabetical 
 order." 
 
 This book wil be very lu'liiful 10 the classes in History, Eco- 
 nomics, and Government and contains much material that will be 
 helpful to the debating societies and to students preparing ora- 
 tions and theses.

 "Tlie present work passes in review many tendencies in Ameri- 
 can education. It describes the organization and influence of each 
 type of formal school : it takes note of the more informal and pop- 
 ular organizations for popular education and instruction ; it dis- 
 cusses the educational problems raised by the existence of special 
 classes and of special needs, and sets forth how the United States 
 has set about solving these problems. It may truly be said to be a 
 cross-section view of education in the I'nited States in 1900."'

 O. cl 2.00 1.30 
 
 Tlie aim of this book has been to pre.sent at a single glance the 
 words or modes of speech which denote the same object, or which 
 express the same general idea, with only slight shades of differ- 
 ence. There has been no attempt at elaborate discussion of the 
 nice distinctions that obtain between words apparently synony- 
 mous; but hints of such distinctions have been given whenever it 
 was practicable to give them briefly in a parenthetical remark. 
 
 No high school library can l)e considered complete without a dic- 
 tionary of synonyms. One often flnds it necessary, for the sake 
 of emphasis, to repeat the same idea, and, to avoid monotony, a 
 variety of expression is rocpiired. This book will be found helpful 
 in this direction. Again, when one is at a loss for a word or an 
 expression which will suit a particular turn of thought, or mood of 
 the mind, this dictionary will be found of great assistance.

 furnish those who consult it with the plot of popular dramas, the 
 
 story of epic poems, and the outline of well-known tales. 
 
 "It gives in a few lines the story of Homer's Iliad and Odys- 
 sey, of Virgil's Aeneid, Lucan's Pliarsalia, and the Thebaid of 
 Statius ; of Dante's Divine Comedy, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, 
 and Tasso's Jerusalem delivered ; of Milton's Paradise lost and 
 Paradise regained ; of Thompson's Seasons ; of Ossian's Tales, the 
 Nibelungen Lied of the German minnesingers, the Romance of the 
 Rose, the Lusiad of Camoens, the Loves of Theagenes and Charic- 
 leia by Heliodorus (fourth century), with the several story poems 
 of Chaucer, Gower, Piers Plowman, Ilawes, Spenser, Drayton, 
 Phineas Fletcher, Prior, Goldsmith, Campbell, Southey, Byron, 
 Scott, Moore, Tennyson, Longfellow, and so on. Far from limiting 
 its scope to poets, the Handbook tells, with similar brevity, the 
 stories of our national fairy tales and romances, such novels as 
 those by Charles Dickens, Vanity Fair by Thackeray, the Rasselas 
 by Johnson, Gulliver's Travels by Swift, the Sentimental Journey 
 by Sterne, Don Quixote and Gil Bias, Telemachus by Fenelon, 
 and Undine by De la Motte Fouque. Great pains have been taken 
 with the Arthurian stories, whether from Sir T. Malory's collection 
 or from the Mabinogion, because Tennyson has brought them to the 
 front in his Idylls of the King, and the number of dramatic plots 
 sketched out is many hundreds. 
 
 "Another striking and interesting feature of the book is the 
 revelation of the source from which dramatists and romancers have 
 derived their stories, and the strange repetitions of historic inci- 
 dents." 
 
 Two appendices are added. The first contains the name, birth- 
 place, dates of birth and death, and a pretty full list of works 
 (first editions, dated) of our principal authors." 
 
 "Appendix II contains the names and dates of the ancient 
 Greek and Latin plays, with those of the best-known trauBlations 
 and imitations ; the names and dates of those French and German 
 dramas which have been adapted to the English stage, or have been 
 borrowed from our own dramatists ; and the titles, names, and 
 dates of some thousands of British plays."

 This list was prepaied by Anne H. McNeil, Libraty Clerk, 
 under tl^e direction of the State Superintendent. 
 
 N. B. — To secure prompt attention, all correspondence relating to 
 library matters should be addressed to the State Superintendent.
 
 Township, Village, and City Library Law. 
 
 Attention is called to the fact that the legislature of 1899 
 extended the provisions of the township library law to include 
 incorporated villages and cities of the fourth class. 
 
 It also modified the law relating to the funds from towns 
 having joint districts. (See section below.) The time for 
 purchasing books is now from May first tO' September first. 
 
 Special notice is called to that portion of the law which pro- 
 vides that all books purchased with the funds hereby provided 
 for, must be selected from the list prepared by the state super- 
 intendent. 
 
 Funds for library and duties of treasurer — Section 486a. The 
 treasurer of every town, incorporated village, or city of the 
 fourth class in this state, shall withhold annually from the ap- 
 portionment received from the school fund or other income for 
 the school district or districts, the schoolhouse or schoolhouses 
 of which are located in his to^vn, village or city, an amount 
 equal to ten cents per capita for each person of school age re- 
 siding therein, for the purchase of library books as hereinafter 
 provided. 
 
 In case of joint districts — In case of joint districts between 
 Olio or more towns, a town or towns and an incoi'poratcd village 
 or city, the treasurer or treasurers of the town or towns, shall 
 transmit to the treasurer of the town, village or city in which 
 the schoolhouse or houses may be located, on or before the first 
 day of June of each year, an amount equal to ten cents per cap- 
 ita for each person of school age residing in that part of the joint 
 district in his town at the time of the last annual school census. 
 
 Books how and when purchased — 2. Between the first days 
 of May and September of each year, the town, village, or city 
 clerk except that in cities having a Ixtard of education such
 
 6 TOWNSHIP, VILLAGE AND CITY LIBRARY LAW. 
 
 board of education or a majority thereof, sliall act in place of 
 the city clerk, shall, with the assistance and advice of the county 
 or city superintendent of schools, as the case may be, expend all 
 such money in the i^urchasc of books selected from the list pre- 
 l^ared by the state superintendent, for the use of the several 
 school districts from which money has been so withheld, said 
 books to be distributed among said districts, in proportion to 
 the amount of money withheld from each. 
 
 Lists of books to be prepared — 3. The state superintendent 
 shall prepare, as often as he shall deem necessary, lists of books 
 suitable for school district libraries, and furnish copies of such 
 list to> each town, village or city clerk, or secretary of the board 
 of education, and to each county or city superintendent, from 
 which lists the above desigiiated officers shall select and pur- 
 chase books for use in such school libraries. 
 
 Duties of town, village, city clerks, or secretaries of boards of 
 education — 4. Eaeli town, village or city clerk, or secretary of 
 the board of education, shall keep a record of the books so pur- 
 chased and distributed in a book provided for that purpose. 
 For such services properly performed, each clerk or secretary 
 shall be allowed two dollars per day for each day actually and 
 necessarily devoted thereto, such sum to be paid out of the town, 
 village or city treasury. 
 
 Suspension of law — ^Section 2. The state superintendent 
 sliall have authority tO' suspend the operation of this act in any 
 school district, town, village or city which shall maintain a free 
 public library by giving due notice of such suspension to the 
 clerk of such school district, town, village or city. 
 
 Librarian and records — Section 486b. Unless the school dis- 
 trict shall at the annual meeting elect some other person li- 
 brarian, the clerk shall act as librarian and receive and have the 
 care and custody of the books so distributed to the district, and 
 shall loan them to teachers, pupils and other residents of the 
 district in accordance Avith the regulations prescribed by the 
 state superintendent. The clerk shall keep a record of the books 
 received from the town clerk in a book furnished by the state 
 superintendent through the toA\ai clerk ; but during the time 
 school is in session the library shall be placed in the schoolhouse, 
 and the teacher shall act as librarian under the supervision of 
 the clerk or of the librarian elected at the annual meeting. 
 The state superintendent shall furnish to each town clerk suit- 
 able record books for his use and the use of the several clerks 
 in his town.
 
 TOWNSHIP. VILLAGE AND CITY LIBRARY LAW. 7 
 
 Farm institute bulletins — Section 48 Gc. The siii>erintend- 
 ent of aiii'icultural iustitiites sliall deposit with the state super- 
 intendent a sufficient nniidHn- of co|)ies of the hnlletins of such 
 institutes to supply i^vin-y publie school library with one copy of 
 each edition thereof, which bulletins the statd superintendent 
 shall send to the various town clerks, wIki shall distribute them 
 to such libraries in tlicir respective i(!\vns. frimi which they shall 
 be loaned in like manner and under the same regulations pre- 
 scribed for the hmninc: of books tluM'oin. 
 
 To treasurers of towns, villages, and cities of the fourth class — 
 Section 486a of the statutes of 1898, as amended by chapter 
 272 of the laws of 1899, rocpiires that you shall withhold each 
 year from the a[)|)!iri innmciit received from the school fund or 
 other income, for (he school district or districts the schoolhouse 
 or schoothoHscs of which are located in- your town, village, or 
 city, ten cents for each })erson between the ages of four and 
 twenty years residing therein, for the purchase of library books 
 for such districts. 
 
 Tf there are no joint districts in the town, it will be evident 
 that the sum to be withheld amounts to l^n cents for each child 
 of school age residing within the town. If there are joint dis- 
 tricts, and the schoolhouses of these districts are located in your 
 town, village or city, y(»u must withhold froin the school funds 
 apportioned to you, ten cents for each child of school age resid- 
 ing in that part of the joint scho<:d district lying outside your 
 town in addition to the amount withheld for the districts lying 
 wholly Avithin your town, village, or city. If in any joint dis- 
 trict the schoolhouse is not located in your town, you should not 
 Avithhold any money for that portion of the district lying in 
 your town to be paid to the town clerk ; but should set aside ten 
 cents for each child of school age residing in this portion of the 
 district in your town, village, or city to be paiil lo the treasurer 
 of the town, village, or city in which the other \vA\'t of the dis- 
 trict lies on or befoi-e June 1.

 INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHOOL OFFICERS. 
 
 cities, or secretaries of boards of school directors in towns hav- 
 ing the township system of school organization, should be sub- 
 ject to their order. That portion which is to be paid to treas- 
 urers of other towns, cities or villages on account of joint school 
 districts should at the same time report to these officers, although 
 the law gives until June 1, for this payment. If it is paid over 
 promptly May 1, there need bo no excuse for delay in ordering 
 the books. 
 
 Many complaints have been made during the past year, by 
 town treasurers, that they have not received the sums due them 
 from the town treasurers of other towns in which there were 
 parts of joint districts, and town clerks have complained that 
 they have never received the full amounts due, for this reason. 
 If tlie full amount is withheld as required in each case, then the 
 entire sum will be available at once, for the purchase of books, 
 and any town treasurer neglecting to pay over such sums as 
 may be due on account of the joint districts, the schoolhouses 
 of which are located in other towns, will render himself liable, 
 as will every other officer not complying with the provisions of 
 law, to a fine of five hundred dollars, or one year's imprison- 
 ment, as provided by section 4540-4550 of the Wisconsin stat- 
 utes.

 sehoolhouse is located. Treasurer of Town B sets aside $5.60 
 ($1.G0 + $4.00), for joint district. Treasurer of Town A

 should immediately transmit to Treasurer of Town B, $1.60. 
 This $1.60 should be taten from the portion of the school fund 
 income which the town treasurer of To^^^l A apportions to the 
 treasurer of the joint district. Treasurer of Town A withholds 
 no money for the sixteen children in that part of the joint dis- 
 trict in Town A, to be used by the town clerk, as that amount 
 has already been transmitted to the Treasurer of Town B, and 
 will be used by the clerk of that town in the purchase of books 
 for the district. 
 
 To clerks of towns, villag-es, boards of education of cities of 
 the fourth class, and secretaries of boards of school directors in 
 towns having the township system of school organization — By 
 section 4S6a, Statutes of 1898, as amended by chapter 272 
 of the laws of 1899, you are required to purchase, between the 
 first days of May and September of each year, books for the 
 schools in your town, village or city, selected from the list pre- 
 pared by the state superintendent, to the amount of the full 
 sum which the treasurer of your town, village or city is re- 
 quired to withhold for that purpose. These books are to be 
 distributed amoug the several districts in proportion to the 
 amount of money withhold from each. It is your duty under 
 the law to keep a recorel of books so purchased and distributed, 
 in a book provided by the state superintendent for that purpose, 
 and for such seiwices properly performed, you are entitled to 
 two dollars per day, for each day actually and necessarily de- 
 voted thereto, such sum to be paid out of the town, village or 
 city treasury, and not from the amount withheld by the town 
 treasurer for the purchase of books. These books should be 
 distril>utcd by you to the clerks of the several districts, unless 
 you have been notified that some other person than the clerk 
 has been elected at the annual meeting as librarian. 
 
 It is made the duty of the state superintendent to prepare 
 lists of books for tlio use of the officere required by law to pur- 
 cha.se books for the libraries, from which these officers, with such 
 assistance and advice as they may get from the county or city 
 siipfrintr-ndent of schools, as the case may bo, shall select the 
 books to 1)(' jnircliasr-d. Tt is illegal to purchase with the money 
 willilifld by tlic; town treasurer, any other lxx>ks than those
 
 10 INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHOOL OFFICERS. 
 
 given in the list. It is the duty of the town treasurer to with- 
 hold this money and have it subject to the order of the officers 
 whose duty it is to purchase the books, on May 1st. Before 
 that day the new library list will be issued, from which the 
 books must be selected. As on May 1st the money is available 
 for the purchase of books, the proper officers should at once 
 make up their orders and secure the books at the earliest possible 
 date, and at once distribute them, so that they may be available 
 for use before the school vear closes. If books are ordered 
 early, the orders can be more promptly filled than later in the 
 season, for the reason that in many cases the dealer is unable to 
 secure books, because the editions have become exhausted, and 
 thus is delayed in filling orders. The finn selected by the state 
 suporintendent to furnish the books at prices quoted, is respon- 
 sible for filling orders exactly as made. If for any reason books 
 are not in stock when the order is placed, you may rest assured 
 that the order will be filled as soon as the lacking books can be 
 secured, without additional expense to you. 
 
 Failure to comply wnth the requirements of the law renders 
 every officer so failing liable to a fine of five hundred dollars, 
 or one year's imprisonment, as provided in sections 4549-4550 
 of the Wisconsin statutes.

 To those Charged by Law with the Selection 
 and Purchase of Books. 
 
 1. The following list contains what are believed to be the 
 choicest books for school libraries. In making selection for 
 purchases it is well to consider the needs of each individual 
 district. The law direct-s that the county superintendent shall 
 assist the town clerk in malving the selections. County super- 
 intendents should make it a point to get the advice of the 
 teachers and profit by their ex})erience Avith books and children. 
 In general it is best to choose books that are certain to be within 
 the capacity of the greater number of children. It is better to 
 err on the side of selecting books that are too simple than that of 
 selecting those which will be of little service because they are too 
 difficult. Make the selection so as to cover as wide a range of 
 subjects as possible ajid furnish books for all grades. As soon 
 as this list is received the ordcM- should be prepared and sent in 
 to the firm that is to su]>j)ly the books. 
 
 At the beginning of the year, the dealer has the full list in 
 sto<'k. ilis contract'is for one year only and it is to his ad- 
 vantage to close out the stook before the end of the year. If 
 the ])r)oks are ordered late he is not likely to have them in stock 
 ami they must bo ordered from I he publishers, thus causing 
 delay iiml 1 1 1 1 1 u <'essary troulilc

 NOTES ON BOOKS. 
 
 3. The notes on the books are made from the standpoint of 
 the teacher, and to aid the teacher in directing the reading of 
 the pupils. The educational and ethical values are pointed 
 out and the things which will interest pupils are indicated. 
 
 GRADING. 
 
 4. It is very difficult to grade books to suit all schools. 
 What a child wants to read depends upon what he has read, 
 what he is interested in, and the work the teacher does with 
 him in the line of reading, rather than upon the number of 
 years he has attended school. Many books of the upper form 
 ought to be read to children of the lower form by the teacher. 
 Parts of books directly in the line of children's interests can be 
 read by the children, when the entire book would be out of the 
 question. 
 
 SUBJECT INDEX. 
 
 5. A new feature of this year's list is a subject index. The 
 arrangement of this index is an alphabetical one, and under 
 each subject are grouped the references to books upon the list 
 containing material on that subject. Each reference is made 
 to the List number. Author and Title of a book and when only 
 a portion of a book bears upon a topic, reference is also made 
 to the pages of the books on which the topic is treated. 
 
 The intention has not been to make an exhaustive index to all 
 the material in all of the books upon the List. The purpose is 
 rather to make a suggestive list of references to books contain- 
 ing material valuable for supplementary work. 
 
 If no references are found under a specific subject, it does 
 not necessarily mean that there are no books upon the list con- 
 taining material on that subject. For example, very few ref- 
 erences are given on the subjects "Plants" and "Seeds," but 
 more material on these topics will be found in books referenced 
 under the general heading "Botany." 
 
 The references to books on United States history have been 
 made by period — United States History — Discovery and Col- 
 onial; Revolution; War of 1812, etc. Reference is made first
 
 INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHOOL OFFICERS. 13 
 
 to all books of history and biography on each period and fol- 
 lowing this a list of Historical fiction on each period is given. 
 
 This index will be verj helpful to the teacher searching for 
 material to supplement the regular work in text-books and will 
 also be suggestive to the teacher of Library Keading. 
 
 The growing teacher will study the interests of her pupils 
 and try to lead tliem from one line of reading to another which 
 suggests itself to her because of some interest which she finds 
 the boy or girl has in some subject related to the one upon which 
 he is reading, for example — the pupil reading Butterworth's 
 story, "In the days of Audubon," may become interested in the 
 subject of Birds and wish to read more about them. The 
 teacher can immediately turn to this index and find a list of 
 books upon the subject of "Birds" from which she can make 
 her selection of a book to moot tlic interest of the pupil. The 
 reading of this book may so interest him in outdoor life that 
 lie will enjoy reading a book which will give him descriptions 
 of other things in nature besides birds. In the index under the 
 subject "Nature study," the teacher will find a list of books 
 from which selections may be made. Through the book selected 
 he may be led to read some beautiful nature poems or a book 
 of travel containing descriptions of nature — the index again 
 suggesting books of travel and poems. The index will help 
 tlie teacher in preparing a list of new books which she desires 
 to have purchased for her school. If she finds veiy little sup- 
 l)lementary material in her library along some certain line, the 
 index will suggest other books upon the Township List that 
 contain the desired material.

 furnished by the state superintendent. The blanks furnished 
 this year contain space for ordering books as second choice. 
 Experience has shown that it is better noi to make a second 
 choice. Order from the list the books wanted, and Des Forges & 
 Co. will furnish them as ordered. In case any books are shipped 
 which are not ordered, it will be due to a mistake of the ship- 
 ping clerk. Such books should be promptly returned to Des 
 Forges & Co. at their expense and their attention called to the 
 error. They will correct the mistake promptly without further 
 expense to the party ordering.

 INSTRUCTIONS TO SCHOOL OFFICERS. 15 
 
 11. Give all directions for shipping carefully and plainly; 
 the postoffiee address, inchiding the county, the town, village 
 or city for M'hich the books are ordered, and the name of the 
 station to which the bcx)ks are to be shipped. Also state on 
 what line of railway or by what express company shipment is 
 t<> be made. Carelessness in these matters is sure to cause much 
 trouble and unnecessary delay in getting books. 
 
 12. Examine the record book carefully to avoid purchasing 
 for districts duplicates of books that have already been pur- 
 chased, and whicli it is not desirable to duplicate. 
 
 13. Cliarge freight, express, postage and exchange to the 
 lil)rary fund. Charge the per diem for delivering books to the 
 general fund of the town. 
 
 14. Keep a. duplicate of your order and see that the books 
 received ai*e those described in this list. It is illegal to piircliase 
 with the library fund books or editions not included in this list. 
 The town clerh who orders other books or editions renders him- 
 self liable for a violation of law. 
 
 15- This list should be kept on file in the town clerk's office, 
 the county superintendent's office, and in the district school 
 librarv. 
 
 16. The record of the books in each library should be kept 
 l)y author and title as well as l>y list number, as the removal 
 of old books and insertion of new ones each year make it neces- 
 sarv to chansre the nund)ers of the books when a new list is 
 l)ul)]ished. 
 
 17. Lal)els, order Maiiks, a blank book for keeping the town 
 clerk's record of tlie lxK>ks sent to the district, and blank loan 
 record books for the use of district librarians will be furnished 
 l»y the state superintendent uj)(>ii apidication of the town clerks. 
 
 18. Des Forg'es & Co., Milwaukee, Wis., will furnish the books 
 this year, and will supply them at the prices given in the second 
 column in these lists. They will make no charges for boxing and 
 cartage. 
 
 School officers, town clerks, ;iii<l icachers may jirdciiro single 
 \<iliimes or a few copies by adding 10 per cent, of the list price 
 to the prices given in the second column.

 "Rhymes and jingles not only fall naturally into the four great 
 divisions of mother play, mother stories, child play, and child 
 stories, but there is a logical order in which each section may be 
 advantageously presented to the child. 
 
 An attempt has been made to arrange the rhymes and jingles 
 in this collection so as to follow the child's growing intellectual 
 powers by beginning each division with the more simple and con- 
 crete rhymes, jingles, and stories, and gradually advancing to those 
 which contain more complex and abstract ideas." — From Author's 
 preface. 
 
 Contents : Mother play — Rhymes personal to the child. Mother 
 stories — Animals and their doings ; other children, and other people 
 in relation to the child ; days and nights, weeks and months and 
 years ; time and the weather. Child play — Plays, games, riddles, 
 counting-out rhymes. Child stories and child play — Stories, 
 proverbs, paradoxes, experience rhymes, rhyming alphabets. 
 
 (The binding of the books in the series of Heath's home and 
 school classics, deserves especial commendation.)

 The material for these stories has been taken from the great 
 world artists, — Browning, Dante, Goethe, and Wagner. They are 
 based on the snggestion of some verse or motive, and are told in a 
 pretty, simple way that can be understood by the youngest child. 
 These stories of the great masters will introduce the child to the 
 world of poetry and music and may awaken an interest in the

 It is idle at this day to dwell upon the charms of the greatest

 glimmer of the poetic fancy of childhood — and who can say how 
 
 early that appears until the last spark of child-like freshness 
 
 and sympathy is extinguished, there is no age which may not de- 
 rive delight from the exquisite purity, and sympathy that overlie 
 great depths of meaning in these quaint stories. — New York Chris-

 These stories should be read and told to the children until they

 Myths and poems for the various seasons of the year. The book 
 is most beautifully illustrated. A very valuable book as a basis for

 read.

 The stories are full of quaint plantation dialect, droll humor, and 
 sly wisdom. Tho" the book can be read by children of the middle

 HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY. 
 
 In this fomi much, valuable work may be done in preparation 
 for the formal study of history. Certain of our great heroes 
 may be made real personages to the children and an interest cre- 
 ated in what they have done. How the people, especially chil- 
 dren, of other times have lived is the best kind of history. See 
 Manual, History — Primary and Middle Forms.

 The author auuounces three purposes of the volume, (1) to make 
 scliool reading pleasant by supplying matter simple and direct in 
 style, (2) to cultivate an interest in narratives of fact by selecting 
 chiefly incidents full of action, (3) but principally to malie the 
 reader acquainted with American life and manners in other times. 
 Such stories filled with adventures of frontier life, daring feats, 
 and personal encounters with savages and wild beasts are intensely 
 interesting to the children. Their personal character makes real 
 the personages in history and the sketches of the homes, the food, 
 the dress, the manners, and the schools, make real the life of the 
 early times. Tliird grade children can read.

 The author in telling tliese stories has seized upon one of the 
 strongest interests in this period of the child's school life — his in- 
 terests in the doings of other boys and girls — and episodes in the 
 boyhood of Franklin, Washington, Boone, Washington Irving, Au- 
 dubon, Daniel Webster, Longfellow, Horace Greeley will create aii 
 interest in the leading figures in tlie history of our country. 
 
 It will surely serve to excite an early interest in our national his- 
 tory by giving some of the great personages of that history a place 
 among the heroes that impress the susceptible imagination of a 
 child. — Author's preface.

 Tlie author in the preface says, "I have found that, when told to 
 young children, these historical narratives prove a source of much 
 interest, and that the elementary knowledge then obtained remains 
 so clear and vivid that even when they are grown up, and able to 
 enter into the subject more thoroughly, the impression of the story 
 as first heard is the one which is most permanent."

 A vivid description of the world's progress from the earliest times 
 to the present time. Children of this grade are interested in stories 
 of other children and this interest is used to start an interest in 
 history, for each story is about a boy whose life is typical of the 
 life of his times. Special prominence should be given to the man- 
 ners and customs. Try to make children see the life. Many of the 
 stories teach moral truths.

 GEOGRAPHY. 
 
 How people live, what they do for a liviiii^', what they do 
 to amuse themselves, their homes, their food, their clothing, 
 ways of travel, is geography. If these facts are grouped about 
 children of the cold countries, of the hot countries, of the mount- 
 ains, of the plains, the pupils of this form are sure to be inter- 
 ested and a good foundation for the formal study of geogTa- 
 phy is being laid. Some of the best material for this work 
 is foimd in liction. The teacher will find much which she 
 can read to these children in the books of the other forms. See

 The books of this series are the most interesting and delightful 
 accounts possible of child-life in other lands, filled with quaint say- 
 ings, doings and adventures. The "Little Japanese Cousin," with 
 her toys in her wide sleeve and her tiny bag of paper handker- 
 chiefs ; the "Little Brown Cousin," in whose home the leaves of the 
 breadfruit-tree serve for plates and the halves of the cocoanut 
 shells for cups ; the "Little Indian Cousin," who lives the free life 
 of the forest, and the "Little Russian Cousin," who dwells by the 
 wintry Neva, are truly fascinating characters to the little cousins 
 who will read about them.

 I thinli that tlie mere reading of this booli, read over and over as

 tribution of nations over it and of tlie essential brotherhood of

 SCIENCE. 
 
 As a rule children will not read these books for themselvea. 
 Teacher and pupil must read together such portions as have 
 become of interest through observation, or by the teachers tell- 
 ins; of the facts. The child's senses are most active at this 
 period, and it is by means of his senses he is laying the founda- 
 tion of his future knowledge. The teacher should aim to make 
 the child see quickly and accurately the things around him ; 
 that is, train his observation. 
 
 All reading in science should be accompanied by observa- 
 tions. The teacher can get valuable material for use in the 
 nature lesson from the science books in the other forms. Sec 
 Manual, Nature lessons, Primary and Middle Forms. 
 
 The results of the child's observations, and what lie has 
 learned, may be told in the langiiage lesson. See ]\Ianual, 
 Language — Primary Form.

 Delightful nature stories for the youngest readers, about the do- 
 mestic animals. The book belongs to the set. Among the Forest 
 People, and Among the Meadow People, by the same author. The 
 author says, — "I want to Introduce the farmyard people to you, 
 and to have you call upon them and become better acquainted as 
 soon as you can. Some of them are working for us, and we surely 
 should know them. Perhaps, too, some of us are working for them,

 Stories of nature for the youngest readers. The author says, 
 "Many of these stories of field life were written for the little ones 
 of my Icindergarten, and they gave so much pleasure and aroused 
 such a new interest in tlie 'meadow people' that it seemed wise 
 to collect and add to the original number and send them out to a 
 larger circle of boys and girls." The value of these stories told to 
 the children is that they will arouse an interest in, and a love for 
 nature. The wise teacher will set them to seeing for themselves, 
 and follow up this interest with some of the more scientific read- 
 ing as found in "Our shy neighbors," or "Histories of American 
 insects."

 MIDDLE FORM OR INTERMEDIATE GRADES. 
 
 FICTION. 
 
 The children should read these books through for the pleasure 
 the story gives them. At the same time the teacher should 
 emphasize high ideals of character, and of action. ISTot by 
 preaching but by questions and discussions with the pupils 
 which shall call out from them the characters they like best — 
 the lines of action they think good. Certain qualities of fine 
 characters may be noted. The result of actions good and bad 
 discussed. 
 
 The stories which portray life are invaluable in the work in 
 geography. The descriptions of places, homes, dress, food, 
 amusements, occupations, religions and religious ceremonies, 
 schools, transportation, should be noted. In no geographies 
 are there more graphic and truer descriptions than in much of 
 our fiction. See Manual, Geography — Pnmary and Middle 
 Forms. Fiction dealing as it does with characters which appeal 
 to the child makes real the life of a country more than any 
 other form of literature. If the child reads to the geography 
 class good things he has found in his reading which are on the 
 subject and which are interesting, he is getting the best kind of 
 practice in reading. See Manual, Reading — Middle Form. 
 And if the child tells what he has found accurately, Avell ar- 
 ranged in thought, and so as to interest his classmates, he can ■ 
 have no better practice in language. See Manual, Language — 
 Middle Form.

 Charming stories from the writings of George W. Cable suitable 
 for children, and portraying the life of the south. In editing the 
 volume no changes have been made in the text except with Mr. 
 Cable's approval. Too much can not be said in praise of these writ- 
 ings of Cable. The south ceases to be a "place on the map" and the 
 child gets in close contact with what is vital in her life. "To read 
 Cable is to live in the South, to bask in its sunshine, eat of its 
 figs and pomegranates, and dream its dreams. No other writer has 
 so recorded its pulse-beats." — Editor's preface.

 "In Ptiasi/ Mcoic we have the latest contribution to the literature 
 devoted to dumb animals of which 'Black Beauty,' and 'Beauti- 
 ful Joe' are notable examples. 
 
 This little book is written — as its name indicates — in behalf 
 of the cat, and seeks to do for that often much abused little 
 creature what those two named books have done for the horse and 
 the dog. And Inasmuch as the cat is so entirely helpless to defend 
 herself the need for such an appeal is even greater in her case 
 than in that of either the horse or the dog. The book Is written 
 in a spirit of sympathy that makes the story a touching one without 
 being sentimental. More cruelty*to animals comes from thoughtless- 
 ness and indifference than through real malice and In the trials 
 and tribulations of Piixhu Meow this truth is forcibly brought out. 
 The author also weaves much useful information as to the care of 
 the cat in the telling of Pussy's story."

 Many of the children in tliis form still enjoy fairy stories, 
 myths, and legends. They are valuable as a means of training 
 the imagination ; and because they form an indispensable part 
 of art and literature, familiarity with them will unlock much in 
 art and literature which otherwise the child will pass by because 
 it is too much of a task to "look it up." Here is good material 
 for work in langiiage. Manual, Language — Middle Form.

 BIOGRAPHY. 
 
 Grouping gTeat events around great men who may LeconK! 
 real persons to cliildrcn is one of tlie best ways of teaching his- 
 tory. That the man lived and died at a certain time is not 
 so important as ^^'hat kind of a man he w^as, what he did, and 
 vdiat great events ho took i^art in. Aim to make some of the 
 gi'eat personages real hy dwelling upon some of those personal 
 anecdotes which are of interest to the child. Make these lead- 
 ing figures in history so familiar to the child tliat they become 
 the centers around which much of his knowledge of history 
 may bo grouped. The child is in the susceptible stage in which 
 the heroes who have fired his imagination will often become 
 his ideals of all that is noble and good and he will desire to 
 share their experiences and aspirations. See Manual, History — -

 uate of Edinburgh University and had obtained the degrees of 
 Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science, besides studjing 
 medicine in Taris. Her little daughter was born in Japan and 
 had a native nurse. The home life of Japan and the pictures 
 and stories that amused the children in the "Land of the Uis- 
 ing Sun" appealed to Mrs. Ayrton especially for her own child's 
 sake. During her residence in Japan, she was always a keen 
 and enthusiastic student of the country and its people. She 
 translated some of the Japanese tales and the rest of her book 
 is composed of her own studies, picturing with true and sym- 
 pathetic pen the quaint life of old Japan. Dr. W. E. Griffis, 
 who was active in introducing our public school system into 
 Japan and whose own writings on things Japanese are consider- 
 ed authoritative, has made an interesting compilation from Mrs. 
 Ayrton's book, retaining the best parts and reproducing all of 
 the pictures, which were drawn and engraved by Japanese artists." 
 The result is a little book of much interest and value.

 The series of which this is the second book will fui-nish an ex- 
 cellent source of reference material to use to supplement the out- 
 line given in the general text book in geography. 
 
 The accounts given in the average text of the leading industries 
 nf a country are short and inadequate. In these books they are 
 discussed more in detail in connection with the sections of a 
 country in which they are most prominent. 
 
 One very excellent feature of these books is a selected list of 
 references in the back of each volume suggesting further readings 
 in geography and travel, that may be carried on to supplement 
 the study of the text. These reference lists will be of great 
 value to the teacher.

 Do not expect the children to read from cover to cover. They 
 will read only such portions are they are interested in. Aim 
 to make the child quick to see, accurate in his observations, 
 accurate and logical in his statements. See Manual, Nature

 A charming account of the history of two robins in captivity who 
 liecame at first tlie involuntary companions of people, and whose 
 affection for their benefactress made them unwilling to leave her 
 for a life of freedom. The story has been told by a bird lover 
 in a fascinating manner and shows the keenest love and sympathy 
 for bird life. It is a true robin history and shows the character 
 and temperament of the I'obin. 
 
 The book is worth reading as a study of bird life and as a pleas- 
 ing story. i 
 
 "No sweeter, more sympathetic story of animal life has ever 
 been written than that which is contained in this little book. 
 Hudyard Kipling and Seton-Thompson have opened up for us a new 
 literature, in which animals play the principal parts. This 
 little story of Mrs. KignelTs is a worthy companion of the master 
 pieces of those famous authors." Dr. David Murray. "

 "This book is intended to stimulate interest in the study of 
 bird life among young people. It considers the many families 
 of North American birds, excluding game birds, explaining clearly 
 and succinctly why these birds are thus grouped and how the 
 families may be distinguished. The most prominent and interest- 
 ing members of the several families are chosen to represent them, 
 and personal accounts of these, their habits and customs and 
 anecdotes concerning them, are given. The book has been made 
 comprehensive by selecting in a family an Eastern, a Western, 
 and a Southern bird ; or one bird to represent the family in 
 eases where that bird is common to all sections. The liook is thus 
 made useful in all parts of the United .States, and, being pro- 
 fusely illustrated, is pictorially interesting as well as descriptively 
 valuable in a study of the bird families of North America. Il- 
 lustrated with twenty-four full-page pictures, eight of which are 
 drawn in color by Louis Agassiz Fuertes."

 Nature studies, treating of tlie form, structure, color, and habits 
 of tlie most familiar animals the child is apt to meet in every 
 day life. This book can be made most valuable if supplemented by 
 careful observation. It will train the child's observation besides 
 creating an interest in his surroundings. Teachers will find the 
 book very helpful as it points out what to observe. 
 
 The material gathered by observation may be used with profit 
 in the language lessons. See Manual, Par. GO.

 FICTION. 
 
 'No form of literature portrays life and charact-er as fiction 
 does. If the novel portrays life tlie aim should be to get a 
 clear idea of the various things which go to make up the life 
 of a people, occupations, amusements, ete., etc. (See "Fiction," 
 middle form.) In the novehof character and character devel- 
 opment the characters should be judged as characters in real 
 life are, by what they do, what they think, what they love and 
 hate, what their aspirations are, what they say, how other char- 
 acters feel toward them, what people say of them. Actions 
 should be judged by their results on the actor, and how tliey 
 affect the happiness, well being, and conduct of others. If it is a 
 novel of character development, in what ways has the charac- 
 ter changed ? What has brought about these changes ? 
 
 Though the work in this form is essentially the same as in 
 the other forms (see "Fiction," lower and middle forms), the 
 pupils are better able to judge and reason and should be re- 
 quired to be more definite, and to form independent 
 and more extended judgments. They should be asked for 
 comparisons, and generalizations. Thus, — Compare the Sax- 
 ons and Xormans as portrayed in the novel, Ivanhoe. Compare 
 the life of children in ISTew England as portrayed in Three 
 Little Daughters of the Revolution, and in the Diary of Anna 
 Green Winslow. Compare characters of Meg, Beth and Jo as 
 portrayed in Little Women. 
 
 In Captain January, the little girl sacrificed much because 
 of her loyalty to the old lighthouse keeper who had saved her 
 life and cared for her. The results of that action showed it is 
 noble to be loyal.

 The resnlts showed the nobilitv of loyalty. 
 
 In Little Jarvis, Jarvis gave his life on aeeonnt of liis loyalty 
 to dnty. 
 
 After reading these stories \]io jnipils readily make the gen- 
 eralization — it is noble to be loyal. Again, in the novel Silas 
 Marner, each time tliat Silas Marner selfishly loves and gives 
 his whole ener2:v to what is iciioble he becomes like the thino' 
 he loves. It is not nntil he loves a little child nnselfishly that 
 he begins to groAv to be a good man. The generalization from 
 that novel is, "If a man loves that which is noble it will maka. 
 him noble. If his affection is centered on an igTiobte thing, it 
 will make him ignoble."

 "A party of boy friends, residing in a hill town of south-western 
 Virginia, undertake a contract to supply to a new railroad company 
 a certain amount of logs for railroad ties, to be cut on the prop- 
 erty of the motlier of two of the boys, on one of the "high 
 mountains" of Virginia. They spend the winter at this work, 
 building their log home on the mountain top, and calling it Camp 
 Venture. The boys are all strong, sturdy, and reliable young fel- 
 lows, who know what they are about. They have, as companion, a 
 young doctor who joins them for his health, and is a hoy with 
 fhem, sharing their labors, their dangers, and their successes. 
 These dangers, especially from the Moonshiners of tlie mountains, 
 form a prominent part of the tale ; and their experiences with 
 them, and with" the revenue officers and soldiers who invade the 
 mountain region about Tamp Venture, are full of exciting interest. 
 How the bovs succeed in spite of privations and discouragements, 
 how they fill their contract and come upon greater and unex- 
 pected success, is capitally told by Mr. Eggleston in his very in- 
 teresting story of pluck and effort."

 This series of books contain many interesting anecdotes of school 
 life and the boys in the story ai'e typical American boys, just such 
 as we find in our schools today. Boys will enjoy these stories be-

 animals Mr. Seton-Tliompson lias known are character-studies. 
 But in "The Heart of the Ancient Wood" there is a problem 
 drama. The imagination is subtler than in the adventures of 
 Mowgli ; the reportorial correctness is as unimpeachable as in the 
 biography of Wahb ; and in addition there is the fact of a master 
 novelist turning to the unfathomed sympathies and dramatic possi- 
 bilities of the relation of the human to the animal as seriously 
 and as analytically as Mr. Howells .turns to his familiar people."

 This volume of stories gives the views which Mr. Ensign took of 
 the duties of a human being to the dumb animals who are de- 
 pendent on him and who cannot express in words their needs. 
 During his life the author devoted himself actively to the cause of 
 humanity toward domestic animals. 
 
 The reading of such sketches as "Lady Lee" and "My friend the 
 elephant" will inspire one to do all within his power toward the 
 protection of animals against ill-treatment. 
 
 The book contains many admirable illustrations and children will 
 be intensely interested in it.

 The series of which tliis is the third book will furnish an ex- 
 cellent source of reference material to use to supplement the out- \ 
 line given in the general text book in geography. The accounts j 
 given in the average text of the leading industries of a country j 
 are short and inadequate. In these books they are discussed more j 
 in detail In connection with the sections of a country in which they 
 are most prominent. 
 
 One very excellent feature of the books is a selected list of 
 references in the back of each volume suggesting further readings 
 in geography and travel that may be carried on in connection 
 with the study of the text.

 "The most of the illustrated books about animals picture them in 
 repose, or as seen in captivity. The chief feature of the illus- 
 trations in this book is that the artist who has drawn the most 
 of them, the noted German animal artist Specht, studied his sub- 
 jects in their own haunts and homes, and has presented them in ac- 
 tion and the fierce struggle for life rather than in the enforced 
 listlessness of captivity. The nature of wild animals being wild, 
 the drawings by Specht naturally lean toward personal conflict and 
 the rivalries of the jungle, the desert, and the forest ; but he is 
 true to nature, and correct in presentation. The text accompany- 
 ing the illustrations is most of it adapted from the German of 
 Brahm. the best living authoritiy on natural history."

 convey to the casual reader a more correct idea than now prevails

 Believing that a more perfect knowledge of these animals will 
 bring man into closer fellowship and deeper sympathy with nature, 
 and with an abiding trust that it will widen the bounds of human-

 "In my previous books I have tried to emphasize our kinship 
 with the animals by showing that in them we can find the vir- 
 tues most admired in man. Lobo stands for dignity and love-con- 
 stancy ; Silverspot, for sagacity ; Redruff, for obedience. In this 
 volume. Majesty, Grace, the power of Wisdom, the sweet uses of 
 adversity, and the two-edged sorrows of rebellion are similarly 
 set forth. The material of the accounts is true. The chief liberty 
 taken, is in ascribing to one animal the adventures of several." — ■ 
 From the Authors preface. 
 
 These stories may be read and told to the children of the lower 
 and middle forms. 
 
 The animal stories embraced under this title are : Krag, the 
 Kootenay ram ; A street troubadour, being the adventures of a 
 cock sparrow : .lohnny Bear : The Mother Teal and the overland 
 route ; Chink, the development of a pup ; The Kangaroo rat ; Tito, 
 the story of a coyote that learned how ; Why the chickadee goes 
 crazy once a year. A handsomely gotten up book of narrow pages, 
 decorated margins, etc.

 naturally suggest a common thought — a moral it would have been 
 called in the last century. No doubt each different mind will find 
 a moral to its taste, but I hope some will herein find emphasized 
 a moral as old as Scripture — we and the beasts are kin." — From 
 Author's Preface. 
 
 No more entertaining stories of wild animals have ever been

 to the brute and appeals to that sense of kinship in the brother-

 POETRY. 
 
 As a rule poetry will not be read by the children unless tbe 
 teacher creates a love for poetry by reading it to them. Often 
 they cannot call the words readily enough to get the swing of the 
 music which is one of the greatest charms of poetry for children. 
 In selecting poetry to be read to the pupils follow their present 
 interests and awaken new ones. Children are always inter- 
 ested in a story and there are many fine narrative poems. The 
 story may form a starting point for creating an interest in poe- 
 try. Interests created by the various holidays, the seasons, and 
 observations of nature may be deepened by beautiful poems. 
 Help the child to see the beautiful pictures in poetry and to 
 compare them with the real pictures so far as possible. Thus 
 after a beautiful sunset a beautiful description of a sunset by a 
 poet will interest the children. Let them see how nearly the 
 poet's description pictures the sunset they saw. At the same 
 time that they are gaining a love for poetry a love for nature 
 may be created. 
 
 Encourage the pupils to memorize the bits of poetry which 
 tTiey like best. 
 
 'No work in the schoolroom is jiroductive of better results in 
 forming a taste for good reading, creating a love for the beauti- 
 ful, and developing pennanent and ennobling interests.

 among grown people as well. This little manual is the only 
 guide to the work. Miss White describes in detail the few nec- 
 essary implements and materials, and then tells how to weave, 
 first the simpler forms, next the more difficult patterns, and finally 
 the complicated and beautiful work for which the Indians were 
 once famous, but which is now rapidly becoming a lost art."

 Although the scope of the earlier volumes of this series is quite 
 comprehensive, including in the first volume physics, mechanics, 
 and physiology, and in the second geography, biography, and his- 
 tory it has been suggested by teachers and critics that the aes- 
 thetic side of cyclopaedic literature has been in a measure neglected. 
 To fill this suggested want and to hplp to round out the series 
 Into a complete cyclopaedia, the "Young folk's cyclopaedia of lit- 
 erature and art" has been prepared. Its aim is to give a brief 
 account of the acknowledged masterpieces in literature and in art, 
 the latter term being understood to include architecture, sculp- 
 ture, painting and music.

 745. As the twig is bent: a story for mothers and teach- 
 ers. Susan Chenery. Best., Houghton, Mifflin & 
 Co., 1901. 164 p. D. cl 1 . 00 .90 
 
 This is called "a story for mothers and teachers." It is a book 
 upon theoretical discipline, with practical illustrations that in 
 many cases bear the test of genuine experience. For the most 
 part, the practical side very considerably balances against the 
 theoretical, and mothers or teachers reading the book will find 
 many a helpful suggestion right to the point. The book bears di- 
 rectly upon the influence of discipline, and the methods sug- 
 gested are to bring that influence about. That is, of course, 
 the first principle in directing the life of a child, whether at home 
 or in school. The book is written from a high standard, with 
 an understanding of little children, and in a familiar style, as 
 if the author sat down to talk things over with you. It is 
 attractive and helpful.

 perience with her four little ones. It should be read by every 
 kindergartner and primary teacher and will be of value to all who 
 are making a study of children from either a scientific or human- 
 itarian point of view. Its purpose is both to awaken sympathy and 
 to inform. It pleads for justice to children by exhibiting some 
 phases of the strength and the weakness of child nature.
