Encyclopaedia of Modern Methods of Teaching is to relieve the busy teacher of the buidcn of laborious Search and preparation of lessons. so that he may teach his student with that single-minded devotion. It consists of six volumes which deal in detail and from authoritative sources with every branch of education The teacher who is restricted by lack of time or opportunity from making full use of libraries, museums and picture galleries for the purpose of study and research, and for the selection of class illustrations, will find these volumes of inestimable service. In view of the students suggestibility the matter has been presented from the soundest and most modern viewpoint. In the subjects of hand work, music drawing etc., care has been taken to present aesthetic material which will appeal to the student. Ample opportunities for imaginative activity will be found in almost every subject, the instincts of "make-believe" being specially considered in the dramatic and English Sections. The subjects such as history, geography and nature study, the teacher's Introductions from lesson to lesson form a connected course and a veritable mine of information. The introduction is followed by the Lesson proper, which is the substance of the children's study, told in simple language and in a form suitable for immediate use in the class room. The Lessons are further amplified by notes, teaching hints, question and exercises, and where possible, by illustrations specially drawn for reproduction of the blackboard. The work has been treated on the most generous lines, so that a teacher may not be restricted by the particular topics suggested in these volumes, and will have no difficulty in adapting the material to suit his or her particular needs.
