McMurray Teachers College, N. Y. 12mo, $1.25 net. By mail, $1.40 The book is divided into four parts: Part I., dealing with the School of Life, in which are discussed (1) life as opportunity, (2) that aim of education which will make it possible to use this opportunity aright, and (3) the institutions of education which, as environment, contribute to the un- folding and instruction of the child. Part II. deals with the teacher in relation to his work as a quickener, and then passes to the teacher’s preparation, his relation to the Bible, and last and best his relation to the child, Part III. deals with the young being in all stages of his growth from birth to adult life, first taking up the broad question of man’s place in nature, and dealing with that as fundamental to all further interpre- tation. The other topics concern themselves with man’s reaction on environment, with the development of the mental powers and the placing of these in due relation to each other, with the training of the child’s faith, with the specific con- sideration of the boy’s and girl’s experiences to adult life, and with the rounded life.
