“‘The mask’ is a great book, curiously Elizabethan in spirit, a cry of joy and life that existence cannot quench.”

“A book like this cannot be read lightly as an amusement. It is closely written, with an intensity of feeling (usually hatred, particularly of America) which will be a little startling to Englishmen. John Gombarov is a fine character; the book is created for him; he is the central interest which holds this discursive narrative together. If he is not precisely a lovable character, he is a real and living one.”

COURSAULT, JESSE HARLIAMAN. Principles of education. (Beverley educational ser.) *$2.50 Silver 370
20–20531
“The purpose of this book is to make simple, definite, and clear, a body of principles which should guide in educational thought and practice. Every student of education has certain fundamental beliefs, or principles, which he uses as standards in judging the truth or falsity of educational ideas and practices, upon which, as an explanatory basis, he organizes his knowledge of educational matters, and in the light of which he sees new difficulties to be overcome and new problems to be solved.... To deal intelligently with these educational problems, to deal intelligently with any educational problems, even where scientific measurement is made use of, one must have some fundamental ideas as to the nature of education and the part which education plays in the drama of life.” (Chapter I) The contents fall into three parts: The individual process; The social process; The educational process. There is a bibliography and an index.
