Abstract
THIS book is well written and deals in an attractive way with a survey of modern educational practice. The first part raises the question of the curriculum, and emphasis is laid on the æsthetic and humanistic sides of teaching. The second part gives ample guidance in such practical needs as form of lesson, time-table, examinations, promotion, discipline. Useful comparisons are made between English and American methods. The book concludes with a discussion of the position of the teacher.
Matter and Method in Education.
