Herbart and the Herbartians.

CHARLES DE GARMO, Ph.D., President of Swarthmore College. (Sixth volume in the Great Educators' eries.) Cloth, 268 pages, 12mo, $1.00 net.

Written by the acknowledged master of Herbartian study, this book combines authority, scholarship, and devotion to a iple. It gives a clear idea of the Herbartian system of education, as outlined by Herbart himself, and developed by such guished names as Ziller, Stoy, Frick, Rein, and the American school. It discusses in a spirit of fairness and faithful imination the present tendencies in education and all the problems which cluster around the correlation and concentration idies." The knowledge to be derived from the book is essential to every teacher, especially at this time, and lack of acquainwith it will be a positive loss.

Some one has said there can be no great need without the means of supplying such need, and no sooner did the fraternity te its need of a knowledge of the essentials of Herbart than Dr De Garmo's excellent work on Herbart and the Herbar by Scribner's Sons of New York, appeared; a book which, costing but a dollar, gives all that the teacher really needs, and it with devout loyalty and sensible discrimination. It is the work of a believer, a devotee, an enthusiast, but it is the mas ece of the writer who has not forgotten what he owes to his reputation as a scholar in his devotion to his master."

NOAH BROOKS. 16mo,cloth, 169 pages, 75 cents net. the short space of 169 pages this little book describes y department of the United States Government, and does waste a single word from beginning to end. The value of a text-book for schools cannot be overestimated, supplyas it does, a thorough training in the principles of our -rnment, often neglected or lost sight of entirely.

This is a most valuable little hand-book by Noah Brooks, h merits a place as a text-book in our grammar schools, should also be given a careful study by all voters who are thoroughly familiar with our institutions and form of ernment."-Boston Daily Advertiser.

Primer of Psychology.

By Prof. GEORGE T. LADD, Yale University. 12mo, 224 pages, $1.00 net.

This is an entirely new book written by this eminent authority expressly for elementary study. High Schools, Normal Schools, Private Schools, and Colleges where brief courses are offered will find it by far the most satisfactory text-book that has been written. By directness and simplicity the author has succeeded in putting a wealth of information in such form that it becomes rarely interesting and attractive. We would recommend the book particularly to teachers who wish to have the essentials of psychology before them without having to read through the more exhaustive works.

"I find it a delightful book, worthy of reading at every fireside and of a place in all the schools of our land."-J. C. GREENOUGH, Principal State Normal School, Westfield, Mass.

This book makes no pretence to be a guide to all the mythologies or to all the religious practices which have prevailed in the world. It is intended to aid the student who desires to obtain a general idea of comparative religion by exhibiting the subject as a connected and organic whole, and by indicating the leading points of view from which each of the great systems may be best understood.
