Questions m this examination will he shaped, in a great part, by Dutton’s ‘‘School Management’’ and Dinsinore’s “Teaching of u , District School.” Dutton’s “School Management’’ may be had of the Southern School book Depository, Atlanta, Ga., and Dinsmore’s “Teaching of a District School” of the American Book Co., Atlanta, Ga. Both of these books are fine, but the latter is especially full of good things applicable to country schools and conditions. Respectfully, A. B. Hutcheson, ts. C. S. C., M. C. J. R.
