EDITED BY SIR PHILIP MAGNUS. Industrial Education. By SIR PHILIP MAGNUS. A most instructive and interesting book. The many who are interested in this great and pressing problem will find in this volume, if not a full means of arriving at its solution, certainly practical proposals to the utmost value and importance.'--SCOTSMAN. 'It ought to be read and re-read by everyone who has to do with school work. Not only does it show a wide experience and considerable reading, but also much careful thought and sound judgment; while its exposition is clear, temperate and forcible. The suggestions to young teachers on the management of a class during a lesson, and on the main points to be attended to in dealing with the several class subjects such as History, Grammar, Arithmetic, &c., are very good, and might with advantage have been enlarged........ Mr. Landon's excellent and interesting book, which we heartily recommend to every teacher, young and old, who takes an intelligent interest in his profession.' THE EDUCATIONAL TIMES. An Introduction to the History of Educational Theories. By OSCAR BROWNING, M.A., King's College, Cambridge. Second Edition. Cloth, 3s. 6d. There can be no doubt that, in the main, Mr. Browning has hit the essential meaning and spirit of the work done by each of the great educational reformers, and that he has shown much skill in describing it. He is the master of a very clear, concise style, free from rhetorical ornament, but full of life and interest; and he has the art of conveying, in neat, pregnant aphorisms, the characteristic dogmas of the various writers of whom he gives an account.ACADEMY. We need hardly say that the whole of this book is well worth reading. Mr. Browning thinks clearly and vigorously, and has the art of saying what he means in an incisive fashion.'-SPECTATOR. Old Greek Education. By the Rev. Prof. MAHAFFY, M. A., University of Dublin. Mr. Mahaffy's little book will amuse almost everyone who reads it, and contains a good deal of information which people who are not scholars might find it hard to collect for themselves.'-SATURDAY REVIEW. Even those who are not Greek scholars may read with interest this lively sketch of a young Greek's progress from the nursery to the University.' GUARDIAN. London: KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, & Co. |
