Not Tired of Democracy Some continental observers are asking with a superior air if the presidential campaign of 1912 does not make the American people doubt the wisdom of this manner of choosing their chief magistrate. The elective plan, they say in substance, puts up the greatest office of the nation as a prize to be grasped by the hand of ambition and conferred by the favor of the mob. And they want to know if we are not tired of such a plan.

No. Not a bit. The campaign of 1912 has many undesirable features. It is in many ways a good deal of a nuisance. But better the campaign of 1912 than the only other alternative, the so-called hereditary principle.

Not even a presidential primary can do as many queer things as heredity can when it comes to choosing public servants.

The elective plan is the plan of common-sense business and every-day life applied to government.

The hereditary plan is a plan which no civilized people has ever dared to apply to anything but government, and perhaps landholding.

A French Grammar for Schools and Colleges

By M. M. BEEBE, Ph.D.

PROFESSOR OF FRENCH IN THE COLLEGE OF

FINE ARTS, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

Scholarly, accurate, concise, comprehensive, and based on the natural method of teaching, it is without question the grammar to meet the growing demand for a more practical treatment of the subject.

The aim of the author has been twofold: first, to bring the student into touch with the conversation of the French daily life; second, to teach French grammar as it is taught in France.

One of our correspondents who has a wide experience in.fitting students for college writes:

"I consider it splendidly adapted to classes in High School and beginning college work. To me it appeals particularly because of its practical nature, its exercises and vocabularies being arranged to give the student a knowledge of words and ideas current in every-day French life. The arrangement is admirable, progressive, clear and concise and sufficiently full for all ordinary needs. I do not hesitate to endorse the book.

FRANÇOIS' ESSENTIALS OF

FRENCH

By VICTOR E. FRANCOIS, Ph.D., Associate Professor of French, College of the City of New York. 90 cents.

The development proceeds from the known English form to the unknown French form. The rules cover the necessary facts of the language as simply and completely as possible. The vocabulary, of moderate extent, is composed of ordinary words likely to be used in everyday conversation, and is increased slowly. The exercises are composed of sentences connected in sense so far as possible. Each lesson includes generally four exercises: a review, a portion of French text, a set of questions based on the text and usually followed by a grammar drill, and an English exercise based entirely on the text and on the rules developed in the lesson. Reading lessons are introduced at intervals and may serve also as exercises in pronunciation, dictation, conversation, or review of rules.

HART AND FELDMAN'S PLANE AND SOLID GEOMETRY

By C. A. HART, Instructor in Mathematics, Wadleigh High School, New York City, and DANIEL D. FELDMAN, Head of Mathematics Department, Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Complete, $1.25; Plane Geometry, 80 cents; Solid Geometry, 80 cents

This book was written by teachers who are widely known for their success in teaching mathematics in secondary schools; the method has been thoroughly tested in classes; the advance sheets received the searching criticism of hundreds of the best teachers of mathematics throughout the country. The work is thoroughly progressive. The propositions are at once applied by means of questions and exercises. Practical problems and concrete and abstract exercises are carefully proportioned. The indirect method of proof is carefully worked out and consistently applied. The many historical notes, the carefully arranged summaries, and the collection of formulas of plane and of solid geometry at the end of each book, all tend to add life and interest to the work.

BENNETT'S BOOKKEEPING AND ACCOUNTING EXERCISES

By R. J. BENNETT, C.A., C.P.A. Part I, 40 cents; Part II, 45 cents.

This is a collection of problems to supply material for supplementary work for students in bookkeeping. The problems are carefully graded. The advanced exercises are designed for advanced students in commercial and high schools, and for classes or individuals in higher accounting. The exercises may be used with any textbook, either for class drills, home work, examination, or for supplementary work. Review questions occur in every tenth exercise, and a general review is given at the end. Among the special features of the book are chapters containing extended discussions on "business statements," "errors," "trial balances,' "manufacturing," "trading," "profit and loss statements" and "auditing." These are not covered at any great length in textbooks on bookkeeping and therefore should be of special interest to the teacher and student.

By WILLIAM L. ILGEN, Forging Instructor, Crane Technical High School, Chicago, Ill. With Editorial Revision by CHARLES F. MOORE, Head of Mechanical Department, Central Commercial and Manual Training High School, Newark, N. J. 80 cents.

Each chapter deals with a distinct subject, and closes with a comprehensive series of questions for review. The student is taught to make simple objects, the various tools which he uses in the work, and is given many exercises which require a knowledge and use of the steam hammer and its tools. Art smithing and scroll work are also presented.
