Practical Lessons in Psychology, by Prof. W. O. Krohn, of the University of Illinois, is a book on tact and "common sense" in teaching. One of the most important requisites of the teacher is a knowledge of at least the elementary principles of the Science of the Mind. Before he can enter intelligently upon his work, he must know something of his own mental powers and have some idea of how to measure the intellectual needs and capabilities of the children under his charge. In no other publication is this subject so comprehensively, so interestingly and so instructively treated.

Fitzpatrick, Superintendent Omaha City Schools contains more than 100,000 facts, figures and fancies drawn from every land and language, and carefully classified for the ready reference of the student, the teacher and the home circle. It is a compendium of the most important facts of general interest, and so arranged as to supply the teacher with more food for reflection, more subjects for discussion, more curious and helpful suggestions, and more general exercise material than was ever before published in such convenient and practical form.
