Secondary School (No. 245) we have interesting or important contributions to the methodology of special branches. Freeman-Schools of Hellas (No. 91) and Monroe-History of the Pestalozzian Movement in the United States (No. 110) are noteworthy additions to educational history, and in the allied field of biography Compayre's monographs on Herbart, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Spencer, and Mann have been published in English translations during the year. In other directions should be noticed Miss Burstall's English High Schools for Girls (No. 330); the California prize essays on Moral Training in the Public Schools (No. 350); and the annual volume from the Religious Education Association (No. 351). Dealing with higher education are the two little volumes of reprinted papers and addresses by C. F. Adams (No. 381) and Prof. A. F. West (No. 396), and above all Birdseye-Individual Training in Our Colleges (No. 384), which, while perhaps somewhat overdrawing conditions and unduly magnifying the remedial possibilities of college fraternities, was characterized by a reviewer in the Dial as "the most important book on education which has appeared in the last ten years." The compilers are indebted to Prof. M. E. Sadler for help in selecting the British titles, and he in turn has associated with himself Prof. John Adams, Prof. J. J. Findlay, Mrs. McKenzie, Harrold Johnson, Prof. A. Darroch, Prof. E. P. Culverwell, and Mr. A. E. Twentyman, to whom acknowledgments are also made. Bibliography. OUTLINE OF CLASSIFICATION. 370.
