THE LUTHERAN PIONEER

Curriculum in Art for Lutheran Schools. Prepared
by Emil Deffner and Arthur E. Diesing. Concordia
Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 50 cts.

This is the fourth monograph in the series of curricula
put on the market by Concordia Publishing House. It is
the equal of the numbers that have gone before and will
prove a very useful manual to those teachers who will
make use of its directions. The writer wishes that this
monograph as well as the previous ones could be placed
in the hands of some of our public-school authorities, so
that they might see how our church-schools, while empha-
sizing religious instruction and training, are by no means
lagging behind in the secular branches of instruction.

‘Here is Vol. VII of this valuable publication. The
price is very, very low for this large volume of over 400
pages, and we can well understand that the cost of pro-
duction, printing, and advertising the book was about
$2.50 per volume, not including the time devoted to its
preparation by the regular staff of the National Lutheran
Council. The book has been divided into seventeen sec-
tions, each of which is important and deserving of special
mention. <A general survey of the Lutheran Church of the
world is followed by brief, but comprehensive statements
from representatives of the general Lutheran church-bodies
in the United States and Canada. One section is devoted
to “General Cooperative Groups”: the National Lutheran
Council, the American Conference, the Synodical Confer-
ence, and many other organizations of a general character
within the bounds of the Lutheran Church in America.
The historical essays and digests of Section V we found
intensely interesting and rich in information. Section VI,
“Lutheran Biographies,” will prove very useful. The Al-
phabetical and Geographical Ministerial Directories cover
about 125 pages of the volume. Srecial sections bring
lists of the officials and boards of.the various Lutheran
church-bodies in America, of foreign missionaries, dea-
conesses, PEotensors, authors, and Inner Mission workers,
@ partial list of Home Mission secretaries and superinten-
dents, and a list of the regular and reserve chaplains of
the Army and Nayy. Other sections have parochial sta-
tistics, detailed statistics on missions, educational institu-
tions, and publications. Forty pages of extremely valuable
_ comparative statistics are followed by general statistical

summaries. Those responsible for the compiling and pub-

aking of this volume may find satisfaction in the fact

that °y have succeeded in putting out a book that will
_ be found invaluable as a handbook of ready reference for
facts to be found nowhere else in such form.
