STOCKTON, JAMES LEROY. Project work in education. *$1.20 (3c) Houghton 371.3
20–14397
The book is one of the “Riverside educational monographs” edited by Henry Suzzallo. Its object is to show what can be done to replace the traditional teaching by isolated subjects by a more vital method built on a practical psychological basis. The project method in brief implies “learning to do by doing,” or “self-education through activities,” and is the result of the working-out of the most fundamental of modern educational principles. The book falls into two parts, considering project work both as a method and as a subject. Part I contains: The evolution of the principles underlying the project method; The transfer of the principles to America; Modern American principles of education; The project method in the modern public school; Project work in trade education. Part II contains: The evolution of the project subject; The broader conception of the content of the project subject; The necessity of more direct teaching of the project subject; Summary; Outline.
STODDARD, THEODORE LOTHROP. Rising tide of color against white world-supremacy; with an introd. by Madison Grant. *$3 Scribner 327
20–7502
“Mr Stoddard has written an analysis of the present-day relations of the white and colored races throughout the world. What he describes as the rising tide of the yellow, brown, black and red races is graphically described in a series of tersely written chapters. This is followed by an historical account of The ebbing tide of white, and the book concludes with brief chapters on The outer dikes, The inner dikes, and The crisis of the ages. Mr Stoddard’s immediate program, involving what he regards as ‘the irreducible minimum,’ calls for a thorough revision of the Versailles treaty and a provisional understanding by which the white races will give up their tacit assumption of domination over Asia, while the Asiatics forego their dreams of migration to the lands of white and other races. Without some such understanding Mr Stoddard looks forward to a race war on a world scale.”—R of Rs
“On the resurgence of Asia Mr Stoddard writes wisely, yielding neither to panic nor to ignorant optimism. His views on the future of his own North American continent display less sanity.”
