A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN THE UNITED 

 STATES $2.00 Net 



By EDWIN GRANT DEXTER, Ph.D. 



Professor of Education in the University of Illinois 



This new work has been prepared in the belief that the greatest 

 need of the student of our educational history is a considerable mass of 

 definite fact upon which to base his own generalizations, or with which 

 to interpret those of others, rather than extended philosophical discus- 

 sions of historical trend. Current educational literature is rich in the 

 latter, though comparatively barren of the former. The present book 

 deals, therefore, with the/a^ rather than with the philosophy of educa- 

 tion in the United States. It contains an exceptionally valuable equip- 

 ment of references and bibliographies. 



THE PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION $1.50 Net 



By HERMAN HARRELL HORNE, Ph.D. 



Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Pedagogy in Dartmouth 

 College 



This volume is a connected series of discussions on the foundations 

 of education in the related sciences of biology, physiology, sociology, 

 psychology, and philosophy. It is not another of the many current 

 manuals of practice, but a thorough-going interpretation of the nature, 

 place, and meaning of education in our world. The newest points 

 of view in the realms of natural and mental science are applied to 

 the understanding of educational problems. The field of education is 

 carefully divided, and the total discussion is devoted to the philosophy 

 of education, in distinction from its history, science, and art. The 

 conceptions of evolution, society, and genetic psychology shed their 

 light upon educational phenomena, yielding in the end a comprehen- 

 sive definition of what education is. The various conflicting modern 

 educational opinions are organized to a considerable extent, and are 

 made to appear as partial truths of a common system. The whole 

 is suffused with the spirit of an idealistic philosophy in which edu- 

 cation is finally made to yield its ultimate meaning as to the origin, 

 nature, and destiny of man.
