I teachers in them are the custodians of the knowledge. Impar- | 



I ting this knowledge is the function of these institutions of j 



I higher learning. To do this most effectively is the plan of every | 



I instructor. This book aims to make the college teacher effi- i 



I cient in handing down this heritage of knowledge, rich and | 



I vital, that will develop in youth the power of right thinking |

I mended not only to the great army of college teachers and | 



i college students, but to that still greater army of those who, | 



i whether as alumni or parents or as citizens, are deeply con- | 



I cerned with the preservation of the influence and character | 



I of the American college for its effect upon our national Stan- | 



I dards of thought and action " |
