THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IDEA
 by Joseph Van Denburg
 "Dr Van Denburg has made note. worthy contribution to junior high school literature. One chief merit of the book is the almost exclusive dis cussion of the practice and experience of the Speyer Experimental Junior High school in New York city, and chief characteristic of the book is the fearless treatment of the second ary school practice-commenda when worthy of modern educational objectives and, and severely critical when supported only by the tradition al custom.
