A NEW LIFE 68012 IN EDUCATION. BY FLETCHER DURELL, PH. D. (Princeton.) Professor in Dickinson College. A PRIZE BOOK. PHILADELPHIA: THE AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION, [Copyright, 1894, by The American Sunday-School Union.] THE JOHN C. GREEN FUND BOOKS. THIS volume has been prepared and is issued under the provisions of the John C. Green Income Fund. The Fund was founded in 1877, with the cordial concurrence of Mrs. Green, by Robert Lenox Kennedy, on behalf of the residuary legatees of John C. Green. Among other things, it is provided by the deeds of gift and of trust that one-sixth of the net interest and income of this Fund shall be set aside; and whenever the same shall amount to one thousand dollars the Board of Officers and Managers of the American Sunday-School Union shall apply the income "for the purpose of aiding them in securing a Sunday-school literature of the highest order of merit." This may be done "either by procuring works upon a given subject germane to the objects of the Society, to be written or compiled by authors of established reputation and known ability, . . . or by offering premiums for manuscripts suitable for publication by said Union, in accordance with the purposes and objects of its institution, in such form and manner as the Board of Officers and Managers may determine." The premium plan is to be followed at least once out of every three times. It is further required that the manuscripts procured under this Fund shall become the exclusive property of the American Sunday-School Union, with no charge for copyright to purchasers of the book, it being the intention of the Trust to reduce the selling price of works issued under the provisions of the Fund.
