x> t: The Library "Preparation for Teaching," by Itev. Chas. A. Oliver. The Westminster Press, Fhila. Price, cloth, 40c\, net, tuanilla. 25c. Is a thoroughly up-to-uate First Standard Sunday School Teacher Training Course, well-adapted by its finely put, compact, short-sentenced, simple and precise analysis of every subject, and w?ll-tempered test-questions, and graphic blackboard outlines, to meet the real needs of live and earnest average teachers (existing and prospective) in our Sabbath-schools North or South, East or West. Prefaced with suggestions as to How to Do Successful Teacher Training Work, in five parts, it devotes 10 lessons to the Old Testament, and its World, 10 to the New Testament and its Lands, 10 to Bible Institutions (3 chapters), and the Sunday School (7 chap tera), 10 to the Pupil, and 10 to the Teacher. The fourth and fifth parts lire the best yet published on the subject we believe, and that on the Sunday School in part three is exceedingly well stated. We could wish that the word ""Pupil" could be more consistently and generally used than "Child" in the last two parts; it is broader and fits all ages (for which the school stands) better. The Bible history sections are apt and terse and sound to the core, while comprehensive. The whole work displays extraordinarily keen pedagogic insight and complete adaptation to the urgent necessities of our Sunday School teaching force today. The author is not only a trained minister and a teacher trainer in his own great Presbyterian Church, but the Su perintendent of Teacher Training of the (State Sunday School Association of the CtntA Uonnai'ltronio in ivliioh ^icai oiaic; ui x ciina* i > anut, in ? uxvu he lias made an enviable record for his phenomenal success in the prosecution of the work of his Department; and he has given us just what we expected here?a great Teacher Training texthook.

This is another of Dr. Shearer's books on Bible subjects, following "Sermon on f ho lifmint ' "QtliHIna (n tho T .Ifa r\f Christ," "The Scripture, Fundamental Facts and Features." These books are small, clear, popular and are the life productions of a long life of study and reflection. They are scholarly, able, conservative and constructive. We commend them confidently to ministers, Bible class teachers and the homes of our people. They meet the errors and heresies of this day. we think, unanswerably.

Many considerations of economy. State pride, local friendships, etc.. oppose sending a son away from his home State for his College training. The selection of a College In another State, when such a decision is not purchused by free scholarships and financial inducements, is the highest possible testimonial to its exceptional advantages. The following talile gives the students attending Davidson from other States than North Carolina: 1901-02 62 1902-03 76 1903-0 4 90 1904-05 99 1905-06 116 1906-07 143 1907-0 8 158 1908-09 167 In service to the Church. Davidson has n? departments of Theology. It Js a College of the liberal Arts and Sciences only, yet on May 26th. twenty-six of the graduating class left her walls to enter the ministry. This unparalleled record is the climax of years of growing spirituality and Increasing usefulness. The list below gives the number of students who at their entrance in September stated in writing that their chosen lifework was the Gospel ministry: 1901-02 34 1902-03 55 11 JSIM-UO 60 1905-06 41 190C-07 69 1907-08 64 1908-09 81 During the past five years between 60 and 80 Davidson students who entered the College with no such intention have chosen the ministry as their life-work.
