Times BY FRANK PIERREPONT GRAVES, PH. D. Professor of the History of Education in the University of Pennsylvania Cloth, 12mo, $1.10. Striking characteristics of the book will be found in the emphasis laid upon educational institutions and practices, rather than upon theoretical development; and in the larger place given to American education. The account of each educational movement has included at least an attempt to trace its influence upon the content, method, and organization of education in this country, while three chapters have been devoted exclusively to the rise of our educational system. The book is intended primarily for use in the United States, and will be of service to our teachers largely as it succeeds in focusing the educational progress of this country. It will be quite possible, however, for those readers in England and other countries to neglect or curtail these parts of the book, and still have a body of material sufficient to represent satisfactorily the history of education during the past two centuries. "One of the notable studies in educational history." -Journal of Education. Very clear "The book is well proportioned and well written. and helpful. . . ."-Educational Review. "A model of scientific exposition."-The Nation (London). "Of great service to all who are interested in the theory and practice of education in Europe and America, from Rousseau to our own day." -The Athenæum.

"He has made of dry historical facts a narrative full of interest, one that touches the life, politics, religion, and philosophy of the times." -Pedagogical Seminary.

"Professor Graves has taken the method of procedure, at once most natural and most philosophical, of studying each stage with a view to progress."-The Outlook. "A book which gives evidence on every page of ripe scholarship, breadth of view, and keen discrimination between significant things and mere detail."-The School Review.

PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York BY FRANK PIERREPONT GRAVES, PH.D. Professor of the History of Education in the University of Pennsylvania Cloth, 12mo, $1.10 This book furnishes a popular account of the life and work of the men who, during the past three centuries, have introduced various innovations and reforms into modern education. While the facts of biography are narrated somewhat at length, an effort has been made to eliminate everything that does not have some bearing upon the contributions of the educator under consideration. "As history is largely a matter of biography, and as institutions are usually the lengthened shadow of a man, so the historic trend of education can be indicated well enough for the casual reader by an intelligent summary of the work of a few great educators together with comments on the tendencies and interrelations of that work. Professor Graves has gotten up such a summary in his brief volume, in which he has judiciously selected and clearly stated his facts. His comments on these facts are illuminative and his comments would seem to be well founded."-Boston Evening Transcript. "The thoroughly painstaking method of Professor Graves is evident on every page of these splendidly written books. A scientific and scholarly attitude combined with common-sense makes these by all odds the most practical text-books yet published in this field.”—--President W. G. CLIPPINGER, of Otterbein University. "The social settings, dialectic methods, and ultimate achievements of nearly a score of illustrious world reformers are here brilliantly outlined."-The Philadelphia North American.
