The True Nature of Value 



By RUFUS FARRINGTON SPRAGUE 



190 pages, i2mo, cloth; net $i,oo, postpaid $1.10 - 



Mr, Sprague is not a professional economist, but a successful manufacturer, whose 

 attention has been for many years directed to the abstract principles underlying exchange. 

 In the public discussions of a few years ago on the subject of a monetary standard he took an 

 important part, and he was the candidate of the ^*Gold Democrats" for governor of Michi- 

 gan. He has developed a theory of exchange value which resembles in some points that of 

 Bastiat, but is much more elaborately developed and in many respects entirely new. The 



book deserv^es the attention of all economists.

First Year Mathematics for Secondary Schools 



By GEORGE WILLIAM MYERS, Professor of the Teaching of Mathematics 

 and Astronomy in the College of Education of the University of Chicago. 

 Assisted by the Instructors in Mathematics in the University High School.

The object of this new course in mathematics is to do away with the present artificial 

 divisions of the subject and to give it vital connection with the student's whole experience. 

 The first year of secondary work is devoted (i) to generalizing and extending arithmetical 

 notions, (2) to following up the notions of mensuration into their geometrical consequences, 

 and (3) to reconnoitering a broadly interesting and useful field of algebra. This means 

 postponing the scientific and purely logical aspects of algebra to a later period.
