Elements of practical pedagogy, by the brothers of the Christian schools. La Salle bureau of supplies, N. Y.
This volume “treats as fully as may be done in a small book, every side of elementary education—the principles of which regulate the physical, the mental, and the moral development of the young; the school and its organization; the equipment, the duties, and the methods of the teacher; the special methods proper to the teaching of the various branches. The treatment of each topic is systematic, minute, and, above all, practical.”—Cath. World.
