TAYLOR'S ECONOMICS.
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

orcises some further suggestionsjof
work to bo done in economic history.

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.
