 abundance oi easy experiments suited to the ordinary school-room conveniences, making 

 it a work of inestimable value to teachers of all grades. 



IV. Practical Lessons in Psychology, by Prof. ^. O. Krohn, of the University of Illinois, 

 is a book on tact and "common sense" in teaching. One of the most important requisite^ 

 of the teacher is a knowledge of at least the elementary principles of the Science of the 

 Mind. Before he can enter intelligently upon his work, he must know something of his 

 own mental powers and have some idea of how to measure the intellectual needs and 

 capabilities of the children under his charge. In no other publication is this subject sj 

 comprehensively, so interestingly and so instructively treated,.

 from every land and language, and carefully classified for the ready reference of the student, 

 the teacher and the home circle. It is a compendium of the most important facts of gener 

 interest, and so arranged as to supply the teacher with more food for reflection, mon 

 subjects for discussion, more curious and helpful suggestions, and more general exercise 

 material than was ever before published in such convenient and practical form.
