NATURE STUDY REVIEW 



[8 :6— Sept., 1912 



child passes through at some time in his development a stage com- 

 parable to that condition of savagery in which Ab, the Cave Man 

 lived. The story certainly gives a vivid picture of the life of 

 those early years as imagination reconstructs it — a picture that is 

 probably moderately accurate since so many of the implements of 

 the Stone Age are preserved for us. 



The student of Education has frequently been premature in 

 adopting and applying biological theories which have later been 

 discarded by the biologist but which have persisted tenaciously 

 in educational literature. It will be interesting to see if the 

 author's experience is confirmed by other teachers who use the 

 book. The recapitulatory theory, except in very broadest outline 

 is discarded by the biologist, and, so far as the reviewer has had 

 opportunity to test this story, children seem repulsed by it rather 

 than fascinated. Only a wider experience can determine how 

 permanent the story will be in the list of children's favorites.
