GENERAL EDUCATIONAL NEWS AND COMMENT In response to inquiries concerning the results of the biennial convention of the World Federation of National Education Associations, at Edinburgh, Scotland, July, 1925, the following concise digest of resolutions has been prepared by the editors of the Sierra Educational News: Appointing standing committees on pre-school, elementary, secondary, and higher education. Appointing special committees on health and on removal of illiteracy. Emphasizing importance of pre-school education; urging trained teachers for this period. Affirming belief in Goodwill Day; recommending observance in each country. Geography, history, and training in citizenship should be taught not only from national but also from modern sociological and international points of view. Endorsing the multiplying of international contacts among school children through correspondence exchange of school work, and interchange of pupils of suitable age between countries. Recommending special teacher-training courses to give international outlook and vision. Strongly recommend travel and interchange of teachers. Recommending promotion of such aids to education as (1) universal biography, (2) visual instruction and the use of motion films particularly when of educational and scientific nature, (3) literature and language study, particularly in the modern fields, (4) aesthetics, and (5) training for citizenship, as possessing great potentialities for the development of an international outlook. Recommendations for unification of research, establishment of universal library office, establishment of a world university, world interchange of professors and pupils. The American Library Association has selected, at the request of the Committee on Intellectual Co-operation of the League of Nations, the forty books of the year which it judges the most important for inclusion in a list of books of all countries. The world list is to be limited to 600 titles and to be published under the auspices of the Committee on Intellectual Co-operation of the League of Nations. Countries publishing 10,000 or more new books annually are entitled to name forty. The British Empire, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and the United States are the only nations in this class. Countries whose publishing is from 5 to 10,000 new works annually are entitled to name twenty; those of from 21⁄2 to 5,000, ten; below 2,500, five. The best books ordinarily become known abroad very slowly, and it is thought that the annual publication of a concise list limited to 600 titles will be an effective means of drawing nations together into closer intellectual contact, by keeping them in touch with the works each nation believes to be its best. The American Library Association was selected as the authoritative body in the United States to choose that country's forty outstanding books of the year. The list of forty important American books of 1924 follows: BELLES LETTRES AND ART Anderson, Sherwood - A Story-Teller's Story. New York, B. W. Huebsch.
