ROARK Dean of the Department of Pedagogy, Kentucky State College ROARK'S PSYCHOLOGY IN EDUCATION, $1.00 This new work is designed for use as a text-book in Secondary and Normal Schools, Teachers' Training Classes, and Reading Circles. The general purpose of the book is to give teachers a logical and scientific basis for their daily work in the schoolroom. It makes a distinct departure from the methods heretofore in vogue in the treatment of Psychology, and is justly regarded as the most important contribution to pedagogical science and literature in recent years. ROARK'S METHOD IN EDUCATION $1.00 The second book of Roark's Pedagogical Series is designed for Normal Schools and Teachers' Reading Circles, and for private reading by every teacher who seeks a key to the solution of the problems that present themselves in the schoolroom. By its practical application and illustration of sound pedagogical principles, it presents a working manual of great helpfulness to all teachers, both to the experienced and the inexperienced. ROARK'S ECONOMY IN EDUCATION, $1.00 This book deals with the problems confronting the individual teacher in the successful administration of his school, and also with the larger problems of the school as a part of the institutional life and growth of modern society. The book is not only invaluable to the individual teacher in any grade of work, but it is especially adapted for use as a text in Normal Schools, Teachers' Reading Courses, and College Departments of Pedagogy. AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY NEW YORK CINCINNATI CHICAGO A Complete System of Pedagogy IN THREE VOLUMES BY EMERSON E. WHITE, A.M., LL.D. Price, $1.00 THE ART OF TEACHING. Cloth, 321 pages This new work in Pedagogy is a scientific and practical consideration of teaching as an art.

The author also considers most helpfully the various problems connected with teaching, including oral instruction, book study, class instruction and management, examinations, promotion of pupils, etc. ELEMENTS OF PEDAGOGY. Cloth, 336 pages Price, $1.00 This treatise, by unanimous verdict of the teachers' profession, has been accepted as the leading standard authority on the subject. From its first publication it has met with the greatest favor, and its wide circulation ever since has been phenomenal. It has been adopted in more Normal Schools, Teachers' Institutes, and State Reading Circles, than any other book of its class. This wide circulation and popularity is directly attributable to the intrinsic value and merit of the book itself and the reputation of its author, who is everywhere recognized as preeminently qualified to speak or write with authority on educational subjects. SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. Cloth, 320 pages Price, $1.00 The first part of this work is devoted to school organization and discipline, and the second part to moral training. Principles are clearly stated and aptly illustrated by examples drawn largely from the author's own wide experience. A clear light is thrown on the most important problems in school management. The necessity for moral training, which, in the minds of many, also involves religious instruction, will make the second part of this book a welcome contribution to pedagogical literature. The subject is thoroughly and wisely treated, and the materials which are provided for moral lessons will be highly appreciated by all teachers who feel the importance of this work.

Cloth, 12mo, 350 pages. Price, $1.25 Nearly 400,000 active teachers in the United States are required to pass an examination in the History of Education. Normal schools, and colleges with pedagogical departments lay particular stress upon this subject and the Superintendents of Education in most states, counties, and cities, now expect their teachers to possess a knowledge of it. This book is not based on theory, but is the practical outgrowth of Dr. Seeley's own class-work after years of trial. It is therefore a working book, plain, comprehensive, accurate, and sufficient in itself to furnish all the material on the subject required by any examining board, or that may be demanded in a normal or college course. It arranges the material in such a manner as to appeal to the student and assist him to grasp and remember the subject. It gives a concise summary of each system discussed, pointing out the most important lessons. It lays stress upon the development of education, showing the steps of progress from one period to another. It begins the study of each educational system or period with an examination of the environment of the people, their history, geography, home conditions, etc. It gives a biographical sketch of the leading educators, and their systems of pedagogy, including those of Horace Mann and Herbart. It treats of the systems of education of Germany, France, England, and the United States, bringing the study of education down to the present time. It furnishes the literature of each subject and gives an extensive general bibliography for reference. Copies of Seeley's History of Education will be sent, prepaid, to any address on receipt of the price by the Publishers. New York American Book Company Cincinnati Chicago |
