_SYSTEMATIC SCIENCE TEACHING. A Manual of Inductive Elementary Work for
all Instructors in Graded and Ungraded Schools, the Kindergarten, and
the Home_. By EDWARD GARDNIER HOWE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

the consecration that comes from single-minded devotion to a great end,
I shall hold that this book has accomplished its purpose."--_Author's
