Preston Papers.
A recital of actual school-room experiences, in which all the common and uncommon pedagogical difficulties are met and remedied.
It is a book of new methods, but not of fine-spun theorizing. All of the important subjects, such as Government, Responsibility, Punishment, Examinations, Prize-giving, Reports, Museums, etc., are exhaustively treated, NOT in the stilted way usual with books of its kind, but woven into the story of a teacher’s experience.
Preston Papershas been more widely and favorably reviewed than any other American pedagogical work. It never fails to delight and profit its readers. Its constantly increasing sale is proof of its excellence.
