WHITES ART OF TEACH g
ING. 9
BY Emerson E. White, A. M, :
LII. D. .
z
american Book Company

This presents fundamental and guild
ing principles in a clear and helpful
manner, and then applies these prln-
ciples in methods of teaching that are
generic and prehensiVe, all meth
DDS being presented in the clear light
of the best and fullest experience. In
the study of special methods. great
pains have been taken to show their
true function and to point out their
limitations; and this with view OF
guarding teachers against the too COM
mon error of accepting them as gen
eral methods and making them hob
bies. No other work we have seen
discusses the numerous problems con-
nected with teaching as an art with
more lucidity and helpfulness. 1t
throws a clear light not only on run
damental methods and processes, but
also on oral instruction, book study,
class instruction and management
written examinations, the promouon
of pupils. and other problems of great
Importance in school work. The clos
ing chapters on the teaching of read
ing. language. arithmetic, geography,
and other elementary branches, will be
welcomed by many teachers who have
been misled by the specious claims OF
methods which have only limited
place and utility in teaching. In these
chapters the intelligent teacher Will
recognize the mind and teaching of
master whose observations and study
of the field of American pedagogy have
been wide, critical and comprehensive.
We believe that the book as whole
will exert a most wholesome and help
full influence on elementary instruc-
ton.

written by those closely associated
with the reigning families. The editor
calls attention to the fact that for
this reason there may be lacking a
complete estimate Of the artistic value
of these homes. mo man, least Of al
an Englishman, is in the way Of boast
ing Of his possessions, and then, the
familiarity OF long intimacy may blunt
the sense Of admiration and wonder,
however much it may strengthen the
bonds Of affection"
The art treasures alone in the IA
nous homes Of England are inesti-
mable treasures. The histories of some
Of these collections are very interesting.
The editor sketches a few Of them in
his introduction.
THE future of these houses is not
likely to be destroyed by vandalism.
The British ar.>tocracy is more sus-
ceptible to contemporary ideas than
some of its critics imagine. Certain it
is that the modern advance in artis-
tic knowledge and in the canons of
taste-now deeply impressed upon Eng
lish characterized its earliest welcome
among the gentle folks to whom these
houses belong.

In this series we have already three
handsome and valuable books-"His-
toric Towns of New England" His
toric Towns of the Middle States"
Historic Towns of the Southern
States,' all by Mr. Powell.
This issue is of similar style and is
as copiously illustrated with half
tones. More than a score of Western
towns and cities are represented in this
volume, the history of each being writ
ten by some person of recognized lit
erary ability and particularly qualified
for the task.
Charles F. Thwlng is the author of
the sketch of Cleveland Perry S.

and he finds much Of interest to say
concerning these western towns.

accomplishment that can render it ir-

there is ample reason for believing that

In the most entertaining manner we
are given the autobiography of one of
Mrs. Patterson's own pusses, not a
beautiful Persian nor an expensive An
CORA, but a plain, everyday house cat
who passes through all sorts of inter-
esting adventures. The book abounds
in practical suggestions for the care
and comfort of our domestic animals
drawn out by the current of the story.

contraries. It is an inland town, but
it builds more vessels and owns more
vessels than almost any other in the
United States. About a quarter Of all
the steel vessels rated in tonnage, built
in the United States in the last fiscal
year Of the government, were con-
structed in Cleveland, the order of
precedence being Cleveland, Newport

most threeq quarters of the modern
steel ships in service on the Great
Lakes are owned or operated by
Cleveland vesselmen. 1t is a city of
400, 900 people, but it impresses both
the visitor and the resident as a big
village or a series of big villages. From
it can be reached in a long or short
nights ride, New York and Chicago,
Buffalo and St Louis Detroit and
Cincinnati; within 700 miles of Cleve-
land dwell more than half the entire
population of the country and yet

city of the East. and it is also a city
of the West-of the East it is the
newest, of the West it is the oldest.
It is often called conservative, but
it is also distinguished by it's sense
of power and of progress. 1t repre-
sents in it's citizens a pure New Eng

Written in a simple, yet vigorous and
manly style, and touching on themes
of large popular interest, these ia
miliar talks will appeal to all who love
sincere and suggestive speech on the
vital topics of home, society and
church.
In many ways this handsome vol
ume is an original and valuable con-
tribution to the literature of the pres
ent day. In a very striking sense it is
in complete and sympathetic touch
with the thought the needs and the
hopes of the twentieth century. 1t is
not only a manly book for the cur
rent hour; it is also a prophetic book;
and every man or woman, young or
old, who reads it will not only be glad
to own it for frequent perusal, but will
wish to assist in it's still larger circu-
lation, for the sake of the inspiration
and encouragement to noble living. and
to better social conditions in general,
that must follow wherever it goes.

The publishers have left nothing
from this book that would make it at
tractive to the readers. The illustra-
lions are superb and the type is re-
markedly suited for the purpose. As
children's books go, this is way up
near the head of the list.
It is published uniformly with THE
Christmas Angel" another book by
the same popular author. AS the title
of the book suggests, it is an adven-
turer's story. The little child in the
book goes through the wall of the
nursery and in a flight on Mother
Goose's Gander, happens upon many
of the characters of Mother Goose.
At the City of the Shining Towers
she finds the forgotten story for which
she has all the time been searching.
Further details of the story ought to
be found out by the young readers
themselves.

The widespread popularity of Miss
Brooks book Of last year, DANES and
Daughters of Colonial Days" led TO
the request that the author prepare a
companion volume dealing with the
period Immediately following the Rev
dictionary War. This she has done in
a series of eight delightful sketches
of celebrated women, like Dolly Mad
isOn, Martha jefferson, Elizabeth Pat
terson (Madame BonaDarte) and Dor
othy Hancock. To those readers who
know of the previous volume LITTLE
commentator will be necessary to sig
n&lize this. The papers are pleasing
sketches of attractive people who had
not little to do with the early man
agement of this countrys affairs
though perhaps, in a quiet way-and
the portraits also afford. vivid glimpses
of chivalrous time.
The papers are not intended in any
degree as prosaic biographies of their
