Murray The purpose of this book is to show that Frobel's educational theories were based on psychological views of a type much more modern than is at all generally understood. Most educationists have read The Educa on of Man, but few outside the kindergarten world are likely to have bestowed much thought on Froebel's later writings. It is in these, however, that we see Froebel watching with earnest attention that earliest mental development MISS NETTA FARRIS, Principal which is now regarded as a distinct Law Froebel Kindergarten Forty Practice Schools. 2313 ASHLAND AVE. chapter in mental science, but which was then largely, if not entirely ignored.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY PHILADELPHIA, PA. To the Women of the United States: On the occasion of the 231st annual assembly of the Religious Society of Friends of Philadelphia and vicinity held in the spring of 1916, the ancient Quaker testimony against war naturally claimed long and serious attention. In the large separate gathering of women Friends, the present critical situation of our beloved country, the difficulties with which her statesmen are boset, and the confusion of ideas and ideals engendered in the minds of her people by the worldwide strife of nations were sympathetically discussed. But most deeply of all ran the thought and sympathy of the assembly toward women everywhere -toward those who are suffering and sacrificing in the midst of actual warfare, and not less toward those of our own land who are overshadowed by the dread of future calamity. lofty its motive, is nevertheless establish and practice in her renourished on falsehood. contempt lations with the Orient. What for the gentle virtues, hate, lust, greater earnest of good will she may treachery and cruelty; that in spite extend to alien races and peoples of much that is noble and self- sacri- within her own limits. ficing in its outward aspects, it nevertheless violates and retards the realization in human society of those principles for which women should ever stand-the integrity of the home, the Christian nurture and education of the young, the abolition of social and economic evils, the establishment of justice and humanity. We believe that it is women's highest mission to train the young in family and school to recognize that jealousy, rivalry, covetousness, contempt and exploitation bear the fruits of wrath as surely in international as in domestic relations. and that the true foundations of nations as of families are laid in mutual generosity, helpfulness, sympathy and justice. Let these problems become her serious preoccupation and there will be no need of armament to defend her borders. Rather shall she be called "The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in." And the prophecy shall be fulfilled, "The nations shall see thy righteousness and all the kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth of Jehovah shall name." May these things be. Yours in the bonds of Christian love, (Signed on behalf of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Women Friends.) JANE W. BARTLETT, Clerk. WESTERN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION We, therefore, plead with you to work with us and with all men and women the world over who have seen this vision-not for a peace which means the mere cessation of war,-the undisturbed opportunity to pursue wealth and ease, but for a peace charged with a positive, elementary school problems in Callvital, energizing will to infuse into human society the spirit of Jesus During the solemn pauses which interspersed these deliberations the desire found place in the hearts of the assembly to frame a message | Christ. of love and Christian fellowship for all the women of our land. We know that voluntarily or involuntarily women have always borne their full share of the weight of war. Endowed with instincts which make them the natural conservators of life, guardians of hearthstones and nourishers of the character and ideals of the race, they yet have borne heroically through their capacity to sacrifice and endure the distruction by war of these objects of their affection and devotion. We entreat that in our present national crisis you bend the energies of mind and spirit against the forces that would fasten upon our country the blighting effects of militarism. That you especially exert your influence against the subjection of school boys to military training, whereby the present would bind upon the future the burden of an outgrown system. That you study with open minds the cause and results of war, the progress that has already been made I But we also know that today from in international law and arbiration, thousands of women's hearts in the the probable influence on the future war-swept nations and in our own of war of the increasing number of has gone up the cry, "Is there no "conscientious objectors" in warring better way?
