ANNOUNCEMENTS

FOR THE TEACHER’S LIBRARY

INTRODUCTION TO THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF EDUCATION

By Charles Hubbard Judd, Professor of Education and Director of the School of Education, The University of Chicago

xii + 333 Pages

This book summarizes the scientific methods employed in solving problems of school organization and administration which in recent years have resulted in much economy of time and effort and the elimination of nonessentials. It is the first comprehensive introduction to the scientific study of education. The wealth of concrete, informing material makes it particularly valuable in introductory courses in normal schools and training classes as well as in colleges.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HIGH-SCHOOL SUBJECTS

By Charles Hubbard Judd

515 pages

A psychological analysis of the mental processes developed in the student by each subject in the high-school curriculum. On these analyses many problems of value and method depend for their solution. Each discussion is introduced by a summary of the psychological facts relating to it. This book should not be overlooked by anyone interested in educational problems.

METHODS OF TEACHING IN HIGH SCHOOLS

By Samuel Chester Parker, The University of Chicago

xxv + 529 pages, illustrated

A careful study of the principles underlying the actual class work of high-school teachers. The scope and method are indicated by some of the chapter titles: Economy in Classroom Management; Reflective Thinking; Conversational Methods; Laboratory Methods; The Art of Questioning; Measuring the Results of Teaching. For reading and general reference the book will be most helpful to high-school teachers.

[TWO BOOKS ON ELEMENTARY EDUCATION]

SCHOOL EFFICIENCY

By Henry Eastman Bennett, Professor of Education, College of William and Mary.

The first aim of “School Efficiency” is to be practical and genuinely helpful to teachers. It aims also to set higher ideals in this field than are usually associated with the practical attitude. The author has discussed topics which claim the attention of the teacher on every day of the school year,—school grounds, buildings, lighting, heat and ventilation, health inspection, marking systems and reports, discipline, and many others,—and in discussing them has kept ever uppermost in his mind the average school of average opportunities and the teacher of average ability, which is one of the important reasons why this volume is a real contribution to the teacher’s library. 374 pages, illustrated

HISTORY OF MODERN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION

By Samuel Chester Parker, Professor of Education, The University of Chicago.

This book provides a continuous, connected history of elementary education from the earliest vernacular schools of medieval cities to the schools of the present. The subject is considered under three main heads: social conditions, educational theory, and school practice. The relation of each to historical development is clearly traced.

The author shows in a concrete way how elementary schools keep abreast of changing social conditions such as the growth of vernacular literatures, of cities, of modern science, and of national governments and democracy, tracing the resulting changes in the elementary curriculum. He gives especially full treatment to Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Froebel, Parker, and Dewey. 505 pages, illustrated
