“Horne’s theoretical assumptions, both in this discussion and thruout the book seem to me to show evidence of a certain confusion of thought of so fundamental a nature as to justify notice here. The author has given to teachers many suggestions of practical value and very likely an inspiration toward better teaching, but he has not based these suggestions upon a consistent and accurate system, of psychology.” Guy Montrose Whipple.

“One can but regret casting a disparaging word at so admirably written a book as Horne’s ‘Psychological principles of education;’ but, in spite of its containing much excellent material and many good suggestions for practical teaching, it does not present any particularly original point of view, nor does it mark any advance in the general field of education psychology.” Irving King.

Horner, Joseph G. Modern milling machines: their design, construction and operation: a handbook for practical men and engineering students. $4. Henley.
“The author has endeavored to treat the subject, both in the text and by the illustrations, in such a manner, as will make clear the essentials of the art, and to provide a book which will be useful to both the designer and the operator.” (Engin. N.) He “describes very fully many different types of machines, and probably one of the best chapters is that dealing with the design and manufacture of cutters.”—Nature.
