In accordance with the desires of the natives at Peki, a girls’ school has been established and is maintained and managed by the natives. Togoland, a former possession of Germany, where the North German Mission Society has re- cently taken control, is inhabited by Negroes and Negroids. In the North the people belong chiefly to the Hausa tribe, in the West to the Tshi-speaking clans, while on the coast they are largely Ewes or Dahomeys. : D. BOOK TABLE. Bible History References. Vol. I: Old Testament Stories. By F. Rupprecht. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Buckram-cloth binding. IV and 356 pages. Price, $1.75. This volume brings very useful explanatory notes on the seventy Old Testament lessons of the Comprehensive Bible History for Lutheran Schools. Nelson’s Bible Atlas ‘of twelve maps with index, a number of tables, a selection of illustrations, a glossary, and a good subject -index greatly enhance the value of the book. Pastors, parochial school teachers, and Sunday-school instructors will find in this book the historical, social, economic, and archeo- logical information that they will need for the proper teaching of Bible-stories. Studies in the Psalter. By O. W. Wismar. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Buckram-cloth binding. 144 pages. Price, $1.25. The material which Professor Wismar so acceptably presents in this book for the most part is to be found in two German papers read by Dr. P. E. Kretzmann and Dr. W. H. T. Dau before synodical conventions several years ago. The two psalms treated are the 46th and the 119th. We make bold to suggest that the Literary Board of the Missouri Synod give Professor Wismar the task of rendering some more of our German theological produc- tions in English. I doubt whether they could find any- body to do it better. Statistical Year-Book of the Missouri Synod for the Year 1925. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 192 pages. Price, $1.00. This publication represents a stupendous amount of careful and painstaking labor; but the result as pre- sented in its pages is of such great value that it is well worth the labor it costs to put it out. Though of espe- cial value to synodical officials, its pages will prove in- teresting and valuable to all who are interested in the Missouri Synod. Good Manners for Boys and Girls. By Amelia OC. Krug. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts. Quantity discount. The author of this booklet deserves the gratitude of parents, children, and teachers. It is indeed a good, com- mon-sense guide in good manners at home, school, and church, on the street and at the table. , Psalm 98. By 0. Kunze. Arranged by I. Faerber.
