Y. r THE PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SO I I Books and Periodicals THE NEW TEACHER TRAINING COURSE. By Rev. C. O'N. Martindale. The Westminster Standard Teacher Training Course, First Year of Standard First Course, (Presb'n Com. of Publ'n, ! 25 cts.)?This is the First Year's hnnU I revised, under the editorship of Rev. A. ! L. Phillips, D. D., and it is such a thorough revision as to utterly eclipse the ' first one issued several years ago for its remarkable clearness, simplified thought, analytical keenness, well-balanced exI pression; and is up to the latest stani dards of International Sunday School ' Teacher Training requirement. Pedagogically it will rank high. There are forty-one lessons, including five reviews, and at the close of each | icosuii arc iiiuruugn, apt, ana thought? eliciting questions. It is a "book tor an average as well as a superior teacher, striking a happy medium in its collocaI tion of material and adaptation to the student. The first term deals with THE BIBDE , (its Name, Origin, Authority), Bible Geography, and Old Testament History (five periods); while the second term takes up New Testament History (four lessons), Bible Worship and Customs, Chief Bible Doctrines. This part of the book is written so smoothly and interestingly, it reads like a real story, as it is indeed. Thp lhir/1 ?***-?> ? . vu*tu i?iui vuiioiucis uareiuuy THE PUPIL?Why Studied, and the several periods of Infancy, Childhood, Early, Middle, and Late Adolescence. Some fine expert work has been executed here; we could wish the little details of explication were less numerous and more crystallized, however. The fourth term examines THE TEACHER AND TEACHING?the Person Teaching, Preparation of the Lesson, the Laws and Methods of Teaching, Illustrations, and Questions. Here is much that is forceful and elucidative; but there is also a wordiness of detail that is capable of finer reduction and less of the fanciful. The fifth term treats of THE SUNDAY SCHOOL as an Institution of the Church?its Control, Organization, Equipment, and Instruction, Worship and Discipline, Special Departments and Methods of Work, the Organized Adult Class, Spiritual Life, the Sunday School Movement. Here again is improved work, but too multiplied and unnecessary details. What is done is well done; but this section is notably lacking in historical data, even of the pivotal kind, save of very recent years. The book is well bound in heavv na- I per, leaded print, the main points of each paragraph being summed up in a word or words along the margin. We wish there had not been such arbitrary emphasis by type here and there through- , out, as it spoils the artistic effect and lessens the appreciation of the emphasis where really necessary. It would seem but fair, too, that the various authors' names be attached to their respective productions as well as~ the editor's own. Whatever has been said, in the way of UTH. January 20, 1909. cirticism, however, does not militate x against its intrinsic worth as a fitting and necessary course for every Sunday School officer and teacher in fact or in prospect. It belongs in the forefront of the many courses of various denominations for the betterment of the work of the Sunday School teacher and trainer of teachers. We commend it to the attention of every progressive minister, superintendent, teacher, and parent.
