26 Tl "Talks With the Training Class," by Miss Margaret Slattery of the Fitchburg Normal School, Mass. The Pilgrim Press, Boston. This book is a refreshing stream of the simplest psychologic, pedagogic, and religious inspiration to any teacher or leader in Sunday (Bible) School work. Taking up in their order Important Principles, Curiosity and Interest, Memory, Imagination, Reason, Analogy, Attention, the Will, Habit, and the Ideal Sunday School Teacher, Pupil, Relation, ;the author deals with fundamentals in a way at once transparent, sympathetic, practical, high-toned and yet concrete and comprehensive, such that it is nothing short of a real tonic, an educational and spiritual tonic and clarifler of thought, to the one who wants to learn and to teach and to know how to teach with the best result to the one that is taught in the Bible School of the Church. The last chapter is a gem of the first water indeed, and worth the small price of the book. A teacher of the right sort will not only be an ideal teacher, Dut a teacner with ideals (not hazy, indefinite, intangible, apart from life, but as the things in life most real). What we are as teachers we are because of our ideals. One great purpose of the training-class is to raise standards and thus elevate ideals. The right sort of teacher is one with a purpose, and that purpose?to influence life and character, and that Godward. The teacher with this purpose will he thoughtful, faithful, sympathetic, courageous, generous in his criticisms, absolutely sincere, and above all cheerful, and studious, constantly ^preparing himself to do better work as the years go by. He is a splendid ehallenee. ralllne- fnrth all mir of fort, our best effort, to at least approach the level where he stands a glorious example whose motto is "Exoel-sior"! "May God help me to know that I may teach, and to live that what I teach may count"! is his prayer all the -while. C. O.N. Martindale. THE CENTENNIAL OF ST. LOUIS.
