De Garmo, Charles. Principles of secondary education: the studies. *$1.25. Macmillan.

The fundamental principles of American secondary education are here set forth in the form of a text book for college and university classes. The object being “to reveal thru an analysis of the content of the studies themselves their inherent and comparative educational value, and upon a basis of the values thus established to determine the best possible combination of the studies into the various curricula now demanded by democratic society.” A second object is to show how secondary education can most effectively perform its proper functions.
“It is evident that such a systematic treatment by an authority so competent and respected as Professor De Garmo will be welcomed by students of education in America, and particularly by teachers of the principles of secondary education, who will find the book invaluable as text-book and reference.” Edward O. Sisson.

“The greatest value of the volume before us lies in the stimulus that it affords for classroom-work. An urgent need of this work, if it is to be truly serviceable, is a more extensive bibliography than the present meager references furnish.” Julius Sachs.
