Books and Book Talk ADICAL changes in the publications of made in connection with the establishment by the department and the agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the country of a "Journal of Research." This magazine, which will be issued monthly or oftener, according to the volume of scientific matter in hand, will do away with the technical bulletins which have been issued in the past. It will be edited by three representatives from the department and two from the colleges and stations. Publication of farmers' bulletins will be continued by the department, but in many instances the pamphlets will deal with problems affecting a particular section of the country. Other publications of broad general interest will be spread over the whole country. "A Course In Moral Instruction For the High School," by Prof. Frank C. Sharp of the philosophy department of the University of Wisconsin has just been revised and entirely rewritten. This volume, which comprises 244 pages divided into fifteen chapters, is one of the series of high school bulletins published by the university, and sent free to teachers living within the state. The purpose of the book, according to Dr. Sharp is "to lead the pupil to serious and systematic reflection upon success and failure. What are the intellectual faculties which he must train? How is he to go about this training? What is the relation between the effective management of the body and success in life? What are the elements of life that are genuinely worth while, and how may one attain them? One of the most important and ever pressing duties of every human being is to attempt to make his own life a genuinely successful one in so far as he does not thereby infringe upon the rights of others." The conditions of success, and the nature of success, are the two big problems that are taken up in the book. How to control the mind and the part attention, memory and reasoning play in this process, the physical basis of mental life which means that a strong mind must have a strong body to support it, and the importance of certain fundamental moral qualities, such as self-control and veracity, are some of the subjects treated under the first head. Under the title "the nature of success" are shown some of the popular misconceptions of happiness, the relation of health to happiness and success, the place of work, friendship and reading in success, and finally the importance of service to others and character. NEWSPAPER REPORTING AND CORRESPONDENCE, by Grant Milnor Hyde, M.A., instructor in Journalism, University of Wisconsin. The purpose of this work is to teach young men and young women who want to become newspaper reporters and correspondents the fundamental rules of journalistic writing. No matter how great the originality or cleverness of the reporter, he cannot hope to attain success until he has mastered the fundamental principles of newspaper writing, declares Mr. Hyde. A successful reporter requires both ability to gather the news and ability to write good English in the conventional newspaper form. There is a conventional form for every type of newspaper "story," and though some editors are attempting to break away from the conventional form, the results are likely to prove bizarre unless they are the work of reporters of exceptional ability. For the average newspaper reporter, and especially the "cub," a thorough training in how to write all types of news stories according to the accepted rules is essential. Not only does the author show how the simple news story should be written, but he also instructs the prospective reporter in how to write reports of speeches, interviews, court reports, stories of sporting events, special feature and human interest stories, and dramatic and musical criticism. A "style book" designed to help the young reporter to avoid some of the more common faults in news stories, and a list of "don'ts" are valuable additions to the book.[D. Appleton & Co., New York]. "Ancient History." By Hutton Webster, Ph. D., professor in the University of Nebraska, is a unque book among ancient histories for secondary schools. The author has made a new and vital treatment of the material. The point of view is that of human life. The aspects of history that are of especial significance in modern thought are given prominence. The book makes the subject worth while for every student. The social, industrial, and commercial life of the Ancients is given with exceptional fullness. Admirable balance in the treatment of art, literature, religion, political events, and constitutional development has been preserved. The character sketches of leading personages are exceptionally attrac tive. The author constantly recognizes the influence of great men as a history-making force. The book contains 53 maps and illustrations of a numerous and superior quality. The modern point of view, the accuracy of statement, the clear and attractive style, the uncommonly lucid and logical arrangement, the elimination of non-essentials, and the author's sympathetic attitude toward his subject combine to make this book of great permanent value. D. C. Heath & Company, Boston. Elsa Denison, author of "Helping School Children," commenting upon the vocational schools in which Boston leads, noted the great value of charts in helping children decide upon their future work. These charts are prepared to show the boy who wishes to become a carpenter or a plumber, and girl who wants to be a milliner or stenographer, what subjects must be studied and for how long. They are distributed among schools, factories, and settlements in and around Boston, and have stimulated, she declares, children who had not before wished any special training. In "Helping School Children," Miss Denison suggested that business men can co-operate with the schools in giving short talks to boys about what is necessary for business success, as these facts will have more effect coming from those in the field than from a teacher. Three members of the Department of Geography in the University of Chicago have collaborated in writing a new geography for secondary schools, and it is now published under the title of Modern Geography for High Schools. The volume, of four hundred pages, is supplied with many illustrations and maps. The authors are Professor Rollin D. Salisbury, head of the Department of Geography, Associate Professor Harlan H. Barrows, and Assistant Professor Walter S. Tower. Hilaire Belloc, in his "History of the French People," to be issued in the United States by Small, Maynard & Co., has tried to do what Green did in his popular and readable "Short History of the English People." A dependable and readable brief history of the negro race in the United States has been written by Benjamin G. Brawley, dean of the Atlanta Baptist College. Messrs. Thomas Y. Crowell Company announce a translation of "The Education of Karl Witte," edited by H. Addington Bruce,— a work that will have a vital interest for all parents and educators. Mr. Bruce's reputation as a writer on the home training of children is a guarantee of the genuine value that will attach to this addition to the list of more important books on educational topics. Teaching Music Appreciation in Public School No. 147, Brooklyn, N. Y. Will there be a Victor in If you attended any of the Victor lectures and demonstrations given all over the country at the various educational conventions, summer schools, and universities, you will want a Victor in your school. A year ago you may not have appreciated what the Victor would mean to you-what a help it is to you in every branch of school work, what a force it is in the education of your scholars-but now its value has been completely proven.
