A Transcript of Lessons given in the Primary Department of Grammar School No. 49, New York City.
This work was prepared especially to aid Teachers in giving oral instructions in Physiology to Primary and Intermediate Classes. It is, perhaps, the only Physiology published that is suitable for these grades. Considerable attention is paid to the subject of Alcohol and Narcotics.
"First is given a model lesson; second, a formula, embodying the principal facts given during the development and teaching; third, questions for the formula; fourth, directions for teaching; and fifth, questions on the lesson. These last are important. A full plan of lessons is given for each week for five months, in each of six grades, showing exactly how much work ought to be attempted. No book could be made more helpful to teachers. To the thousands who are asking, 'Tell us how to teach,' here are full, minute, and correct instructions. Even the answers expected are given, blackboard outlines are arranged, and nothing is wanting to make the book as useful to teachers as it is possible for any book to be. It ought to have a large sale. No book published during the last ten years will do more to drive away routine from the school-room and introduce thought than this, if only the teachers will use it. Its introduction displaces nothing but the old-fashioned monotonous recitations. Let them go; we welcome this book as an important aid in hastening along the good time of better teaching. It is excellently printed, with good paper and binding."—The New York School Journal.
