Psychology and the Christian Day-School. By Paul B. Kretzmann, M.A., Ph.D. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.00, net. A-mastery .of the branches to be taught was once thought to be an adequate preparation for teaching. But it is now generally recognized that the teacher must have knowledge ofthe mind he is called to train. Psychology, the science of the mind, is the foundation of intelligent pedagogy. Dr. Kretzmann undertook to write a book that was to deal with mind-unfolding as exhibited in the schoolroom, and the result is most satisfactory. What makes the book particularly valuable is that it is written from a Biblical standpoint and with reference to the Christian day-school. The book will prove valuable to the Christian teacher who wishes to know the structure of the mind, and the way to minister to its growth. At last a psychology has been written that will be a real aid, instead of a hindrance, to true knowledge. May it soon be in the hands of every one of our pastors and teachers! —We rejoice to add that it is the first of a series of hand- books for the teacher. The Proof-Texts of the Catechism with a Practical Commentary. Vol.I. Concordia Supply Co., Con- cordia Seminary, Springfield, Ill. 301 pages. Price, $2.00. May also be ordered from Concordia Pub- lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. An, eminently. useful book for the pastor and teacher. The book is a reprint of articles appearing in the Theo- logical Quarterly since 1898. The sainted Dr. Graebner is the writer of the comments appearing on the first 90 pages; Prof. Dau furnished the comments appearing on the next 12 pages; while, all the rest is the product of Prof. Wessel’s pen. These comments are the result of much faithful study, and will be found most desirable to every one whose duty it is to teach the Catechism. The faithful use of these comments is bound to prove a blessing to teachers and pupils. We should feel dis- appointed to hear that this book is not finding a ready market. Vol. I covers the proof-texts to the end of the Third Article. No doubt, the other Chief Parts of the Catechism will be similarly treated and published in due time. During July and August the book may be ordered from Prof. lL. Wessel, Concordia Seminary, Springfield, Ill. ! ' The Children’s Hosanna. An Order of Service for Chil- , dren’s Day. By Adolf 7. Hanser.
