cisco. the latest issue. Il is entitled "Old
Greek Education" and is by j. z. Mahaffy,
NJ. A. Though small, it is an exhaustive
exposition of the Greek methods. The main
object of the book is to interest men who are
not classical scholars and who are not pro-
fessional educators, in the theory of education
as held by the Greeks. Mahaffy holds that
the Greeks were far behind rs in the mechaai-

forded proper leisure for thorough intellectual
training.
