only the teachers will use it_. Its introduction displaces nothing but
the old-fashioned monotonous recitations. Let them go; we welcome this
book as an important aid in hastening along the good time of better
teaching. It is excellently printed, with good paper and

Specific instruction is given on how to teach Reading, Spelling,
Phonics, Language, Geography, Arithmetic, etc.
IV. SCHOOL GOVERNMENT.
V. "THE NEW DEPARTURE IN THE SCHOOLS OF QUINCY." By CHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS.
DR. A.D. MAYO says, in the _New England Journal of Education_:
"Although we have given place in our book-notice column to an
appreciative mention of the volume, 'Development Lessons,' a new
reading seems to call for a new commendation of this admirable guide to
teachers. Mr. DeGraff needs no special 'boom' as a first-class
institute man, and his extracts of lectures in Part III. sparkle with
valuable suggestions. In no published work is Col. Parker really seen
to such advantage as in the 'reports of conversations' with him in Part
II., which can be studied with profit by every teacher. But perhaps the
most complete portion of this admirable book is the 178 pages of
lessons on the Senses, Size, Form, Place, Plants, and Insects, by MISS
M.K. SMITH, now Teacher of Methods in the State Normal School at Peru,
Neb."
