Author Description

Excerpt from Educational Values All of the chapters in the present volume have under gone many changes and revisions Since they were first projected. These changes have been made at the suggestion Of the friends of the writer, who have been so good as to go over the material from time to time and to point out the defects. That the present treatment is still SO far from adequate is not at all the fault of these men; without their kindly criticism, the writer would never have been Spurred on to make the changes that now seem to him to constitute by far the most valuable portions of the book. To Mr. C. M. Mcconn, Registrar of the University Of Illinois, and formerly Principal of the University Academy and Supervisor of Practice Teaching; Superintendent E. A. Turner of the Training Department, Illinois State Normal University; Superintendent H. B. Wilson, of Decatur, Illinois; and Professor T. H. Briggs, of the Eastern Illinois Normal School, the writer's gratitude is due for this invaluable service. He would also acknowledge his indebtedness to his colleagues, Professor S. S. Colvin, Professor L. F. Anderson, and Dr. E. L. Norton, for many valuable suggestions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
