A REVIEW OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT BY C. H. THURBER IN THE SCHOOL REVIEW, MARCH 1894: I wish to say plainly and unmistakably that in my opinion this is a valuable book. The contents fully justify the subtitle, "A practical treatise for teachers and all other persons interested inthe right training of the young." Much good common sense, an elevated tone, thorough understanding of the problems that confront the teacher, and experience in solving them - these and many other qualities demand our attention almost on every page. About every question that enters into the work and life of a school and of its members is discussed in a suggestive and helpful way. The attention paid to the training of the will and theimportance given to moral training as the central function and duty of the school are in accord with the best educational thought of today. The book cannot fail to be helpful to young teachers.If others repeat my experience, it will be hardly less appreciated by teachers who have been some years in the harness. Let me close what may be criticised as too laudatory a notice by an outline of the contents of the book: School Government, Ends and Means, The Teacher as Governor, Conditions of Easy Control, Mechanical Devices (this chapter covers such topics as ventilation, light, seats and desks, programmes, &c.); Moral Training, Principles, Will Training, School Incentives, Punishment, Moral Instruction, Materials for Moral Lessons, Religion in the School.
