REFERENCE BOOKS. 



The following books are suggested as suitable ones to have 

 on the reference shelves, largely for the use of the teacher, but 

 several of them can with profit be consulted by the students 

 also. There are a number of other useful reference books in 

 German and French, and also a number of journals, which 

 might be possessed by the more fortunate institutions, but 

 which are too expensive for general use, and they are not listed 

 here.
