A NEW VOLUME FOR THE TEACHERS L1BRART. 



THE TEACHER AND THE PARENT: 



A. Treatise upon Common-School Education, containing Practical Sug- 

 gestions to Teachers and Parents. By Charles Northend, A. M, 

 late, and for many years, Principal of the Epea School, Salem. Now 

 Superintendent of Public Schools, Danvers, Mass. 



"We may anticipate for this work a wide circulation, among teachers and friends 

 of education. The extensive and high reputation of its author, indeed, will bespeak 

 for it more than pen of ours can do. It is a work, of about three hundred and 

 twenty pages, in good size type, arid presents a very pleasant appearance to the eye, 

 as well as the work noticed on the preceding page, both of which, for their neat 

 appearance, do great credit to the enterprising publishers. 



Mr. Northend's book will prove inteiesting to all, and of great benefit to teach- 

 ers, especially as a chart for those just commencing to engage in the profession. 

 As a xade mecum, it will prove a very pleasant companion, for its pages are filled 

 with the results of a large experience presented in a very pleasing form. We are 

 glad to find that the author, in furnishing to teachers so useful a work, has not 

 neglected the suaviter in modo, and has here and there thrown in a pleasant anec- 

 dote, which will enliven its character, and make it all the more acceptable. Wo 

 shall have frequent occasion to refer to it hereafter. In closing this short notice, 

 we would assure our readers that a perusal of the work -will more than realize to 

 them the truth of all we have attempted to say in its favor. Appended to the 

 volume will be found a catalogue of educational works suitable for the teacher's 

 library."' — Massachusetts Teacher. 



"We wish that this interesting and readable volume may find a place in every 

 family, and we are certain that it ought to be on the shelf of every school library in 

 the land."— SaUm Gazette. 



'•It presents a multitude of practical hints, which cannot fail to do good service in 

 enlightening all laborers in the field of education." — Boston Transcript. 



u We unhesitatingly commend this volume of sound, practical, common sense sug- 

 gestions. Every school teacher should carefully examine its pages, and he will not 

 fail— he cannot help receiving— invaluable aid therefrom." — Boston Atlas. 



"We have examined this work with care, and cheerfully commend it to parents 

 and teachers. It abounds in judicious advice and sound reasoning, and cannot fail to 

 impart ideas in the education of children which may be acted upon with the most 

 beneficial results."— Boston Mercantile Journal. 



"This is an intelligible, practical, and most excellent treatise. The book is 

 enlivened with numerous anecdotes which serve to clinch the good advice given, as 

 well as to keep awake the attention of the advised."— Boston Traveller. 



" This is a sterling work of great value. It should be in every family. All tww.b 

 Mrs need jnst such a work."— Boston Olive Branch.
