A book in the form of a familiar talk to A. E. F. boys by a girl who was a Y. M. C. A. worker in France. It is an appeal to them to remember the ideals they fought for, and to apply them in the new war “against selfishness and materialism and intolerance and hatred.” It is reprinted from McClure’s Magazine.
“A very fine and moving bit of writing is Miss Noyes’s little book, simple, comradely, full of memories, and wise with the wisdom of Eve. The book ought to be read by every man who served on the other side and also by every person at home who has ever said a slighting word about any of the phases of the welfare work for the army.”

“The shifting, unprofessional character of the teaching body makes the provision for competent supervision of instruction not only desirable, but necessary.... The undertaking of training supervisors involves the setting-forth of the job or activities of supervision, and the organizing of the means by which supervisors can best be trained to perform their duties.” (Introd.) The book is, accordingly, an analytical discussion of the principles underlying class-room supervision, and the devices and technique which should and which should not be employed. It falls into two parts. Part 1, The job of supervision, is a general survey of supervising activities. Part II[or 2?—see above], Principles underlying the supervision of instruction, is divided into the following sections: Supervisory method; Devices of supervision; Technique of supervision. There is an index.
“The book is to be welcomed as one of the first serious and successful attempts to create a specific literature for supervisors.”
