RED FOUILLEE. Translated and edited, with a Preface, by W. J. GREENSTREET, M. A., St. John's College, Cambridge; Head Master of the Marling School, Stroud. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

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 public discussion that arose from Professor Martin's papers upon the topic treated in this work will make the complete collection of the essays of much interest to a large circle of readers. In the present volume the author aims to show the evolutionary character of the public-school history of the State, and to point out the lines along which the development has run and the relation throughout to the social environment, and incidentally to illustrate the slow and irregular way b
