Educational Foundations of Trade and Industry.

BY FABIAN WARE. Vol. 54. Price, $1.20 net; postage 10 cents additional.

This timely book describes the educational foundations of trade and industry as exhibited in the school systems of the chief European peoples and of the United States.

The promotion of industry through education is the burden of the author's appeal. To make this appeal effective, he examines first the growth of national systems in general-their conditions, impulses, and directions. This leads to a series of chapters giving a detailed statement of the educational foundations laid in England, Germany, and France; and finally, those in America.

The section devoted to the United States gives an exhaustive résumé of the characteristics of American education, from the kindergarten to the graduate university. Since Mr. Ware treats the subject more on its practical than on its cultural side, his examination includes a thorough analysis of commercial and technological education in every aspect and branch. The latest information has been used, and a large amount of concrete illustration, drawn from the actual workings of individual schools, gives the argument freshness, clearness, and coherence.

"There can be no doubt that Mr. Fabian Ware's book will be of even more interest to Americans than to the English readers for whom it was primarily written. It is strictly up to date, and in view of the discussions that have recently taken place on the failure of England to keep her place in the race for trade and manufacturing supremacy, Mr. Ware has some observations to make that have a strong bearing on the subject."-New York Sun.
