Function of the state university. (In N. E. A. Proc. p. 606-13.) 271 Münsterberg, Hugo. Productive scholarship in America. (Atlantic May. 87615-31.) The thesis is that the results of American scholarship "stand in no proper relation to the achievements of American culture in all other aspects of national life." The lack of thoroness, inferior educational ideals, and the dominating commercial spirit in American education, come in for some sound, sharp, and well-presented criticism. The article is reprinted in the authors American traits on p. 81-127. 272 Reid, Whitelaw. University tendencies in America. 20 p. Q. New 'York.

The chapter on Ontario makes no reference to Mr. Ross' admirable book, and does not supersede it except as to later statistics. 379.42 Great Britain Great Britain publishes many valuable documents on education at home and in the The great 302 Brereton, C.
