“A pleasantly informal travel book. Mr Munk evidently writes with thorough knowledge and shows an appreciative eye for the beauties and oddities of that country and its native people. Particularly fascinating is the description of the petrified forests of Arizona.”

MUNROE, JAMES PHINNEY. Human factor in education. *$1.60 Macmillan 370.1

“A volume defending vocational education and written by a vice-chairman of the Federal board for vocational education. The author tries to show that the old regime of twenty years and more ago was a flat failure in the scheme of education in the United States. There is strong intimation that much of the old system is still in force. He shows how the great world war has helped bring us to our senses in the matter of educating boys and girls in a many-sided way rather than in a narrow way as previously. (School R) “The book does not advocate, however, the separation of vocational from academic schools.” (Booklist)
