As a rule, tlio inoinbors of college faculties desire to bo holpful, and are glad of opportuni ties to copporato with their students in all undertakings. Practically every thing is favorablo to success. Those four elemental and funda-1 montal characteristics every collogo studont should faithfully endeavor to lovolop and cultivate: Simplicity of life for only so will either student or graduato find time for real life. Tne constant tendency of modern civiliza tion seems to bo toward complexity, toward a vast aggregation of the un necessary, even if not of the undesir able; toward customs and .precedents and manners which eat the heart of a day before the real day's work is even begun, which demand hours at night far better giving to earnest thought and strenuous endeavor.

This little book of 14G pages is a gonuino contribution to the pedagogy of economics. It contains an "Intro duction," which discusses the subject of political economy in high schools; tion, "A Word to Teachers"; ten brief chapters of exposition under the heads "Fluctuating Prices," "Steady Prices," "Profits," Wages," "Speculation," "Industry," "Industrial Centers," "A Rich Country," "Lux ury," and "Capital"; thirty-two care fully planned and suggestive "Exer cises" placed at the ends of the var ious chapters; and a two-page "appen- thc other hand, a teacher who is al ready an economic export ' will pre fer, in most cases, to make out his own exercises rather-than, use thoso of Prof. Taylor. On this account tho book is not nkcly to find its way into tho hands of tho majority of high school pupils. ' Its mission is rather that of suggestion to the well Informed, who cannot fail to find within its pages now incentive to economic teaching that shall be less formal and empty, more closely in touch with the ob servation and exporienco with the pu pil. All who read the book will also be urged more strongly than boloro to conviction that tho time is at hand when our classes in economics, as well as our classes in biology, must bo plnccd in the hands of exports. Gen uinely scientific study of sociological subjects has indeed boon lato in arriv ing, but it must come, and when it has fully arrived it will stay. it is to be regretted that Prof. Tay lor has not included with the the ex orcises some further suggestionsjof work to bo done in economic history.

Hall, Misses Robinson, Thomas, Dlmmig?, Miller, athins, Streeter, Hazlett.Davenport, ManrJd, Howland, and Woodford; of the so-called "orthodox" political economy, and, second, a study of "economic history." The book deals almost entirely with the first of these two kinds of discipline. As the author himself eays, one of the chief difficulties in the way of such economic teaching ia the lack of efficient teachers. It is indeed doubt ful if a teacher who has not had ad vanced economical training could do much-with a class In this mannor. On but only incidentally. It should be done with aa much care as tho "ortho dox political economy" has been done. Those who believe In the text book should give a complete and thoroughly systematic exposition of the whole sub ject of economics will also find much to criticise in this book. The present writer, however, agrees with tho au mor that no greater mistake can be made than to leave a student at tho end of a brief course in tho high sshool with the feeling that ho "knows ia all." Such a result would bo Im possible if tho method of this book were followed. It is to bo regretted that tho book has no index. Henry W. Thurston.
