83 Payne, W. H. The education of teachers. 272 p. O. B. F. Johnson pub. co., Richmond, Va., $1.50.

The author thinks a teacher should be liberally educated rather than trained, that he should be first of all a scholar, and that even his strictly professional training should be of the liberal type. The book is a series of eight articles, which seem to have been given originally as Lectures and not very carefully edited for publication as a book, and in which the author's notions appear as to what constitutes the proper education for teachers. The chapter on a theory of education values is especially sound.

"This veteran author is here at his best, and we can give the volume hearty commendation. Altho we deem many of his methods antiquated and mechanical, there is everywhere such seriousness of purpose, such familiarity with the inner work of classrooms, and such a sincere desire to utilize what is new while giving up nothing of the old that the work is sure to stimulate and instruct every reader." Ped. sem. Also reviewed at length, and not altogether favorably, in Educ rev. for Mar., 1902.

Some practical precepts relating to the hygiene of schools are concisely stated. chapters on Exercise and health in the second part are especially sound. The book will not compare in usefulness for American teachers with Mr. Shaw's volume mentioned below.

Condensed, accurate statement of the conditions which surround most school children, with suggested measures for the protection and promotion of their physical and mental health. The facts here collected and clearly stated have before been widely scattered. Some of the chapters, notably those on Handwriting and Sight, are largely new, scientific and of much value. Kotelmann and Newholme, which have been the only manuals of any consequence in this subject, are entirely supplanted for American schools by this book, since the monograph by Mr. Morrison on Education in the U. S. concerned itself entirely with the school building.

All material on child-study has been omitted. For this see yearly bibliography compiled by Mr. L. N. Wilson of Clark university.

A general Bibliography of child-study was compiled by L. I. Rhoades, Pedagogical library, Philadelphia, and pub. in 1901. It is an octavo pamphlet of 128 pages in one alphabet of authors.

boys. 45-84.)

Relates the origin, in the fourteenth century, the growth, influence, and relation to the public of the great English public schools like Eton, Rugby, and Harrow. 130 Great Britain-Board of education. Preparatory schools for boys; their place in English secondary education. 531 p. O. Eyre & Spottiswoode, 2/3.

This valuable book is volume 6 of the Special reports on educational subjects edited by Mr. M. E. Sadler. The schools described, of which there are about four hundred in England, are what would be called private boarding schools in the United States. They prepare only for the great English Public schools and the Royal Navy, and do not keep boys beyond the age of fourteen.

The volume comprises forty papers, mostly by head-masters. About half are concerned with details of the curriculum and methods in special branches, while the other and most interesting half treat of the broader significance and work of the schools. The papers are honest recognitions of both failure and success, and nearly all excellently done.
