My pedagogic creed, by Prof. John Dewey; also, The demands of sociology upon pedagogy, by Prof. Albion W. Small.

MD ALL OBDMEB TO LE. L. KELLOG G & CO., 25 CLINTO PLA C 2I. Y. Love's Industrial Education. Industrial Education; a guide to Manual Training. By SAXUEL G. LOVE, principal of the Jamestown, (N. Y.) public schools. Cloth, 12mo, 330 pp. with 40 fuA-page plates containino nearly 400 figures. Price, $1.50; to teachers, m1.20; Iy mail, 12 cents extra. 1. Industrial Education not understood. Probably the only maan who has wrought out the problem in a practical way is -Samuel G. Love, the superintendent of the Jamestown (N. Y.) schools Mr. Love has now:INDUSTRIAL. about 2,400 children in the:F I EDUtC AT~IQN; 1primary, advanced, and high rig,EDUCA IO )schools under his charge; he is assisted by fifty teachers, so that an admirable opportunity was offered, In 1874 (about fourteen years ago) Mr. Love began his experiment; gradually he introduced one occupation, and then another, untll at last nearly all the puupils are following some form of educate ing work. 2. Why it is demanded. The reasons for introducing it are clearly stated by Mr. Love. It,rO> was done because the educa. tion of the books left the pu. pils unfitted to meet the prac. tical problems the world asls them to solve. The world does not have a field ready for the student in book-lore. The state. ments of Mr. Love should be carefully read. 8. It is an educational book. Any one can give some formal work to girls and boys. What has been needed has been some one who could find out what is suited to the little child who is in the " First Reader," to the one who is in the "Second Reader," and so on. It must be remembered the effort is not to make carpenters, and type-setters, and dressmakers of boys and girls, but to educate them by thesme sceeu tions better than without them.
