‘BOOK TABLE.

A Brief History of Education. Concordia Teachers’ Li-
brary, Vol. II. By Paul E. Kretzmann, M. A., Ph. D.
Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Cloth
binding; 144 pages. Price, $1.00, net.

Every teacher should be familiar with the history and
development of education. In this manual Dr. Kretzmann
very lucidly gives this information. What will make this
book particularly valuable to every Christian teacher is
the fact that the Christian day-school receives especial
attention, and that everything is presented from a posi-
tively Christian view-point.

The Great Renunciation. By Prof. W.H.T.Dau. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Cloth bind-
ing; 350 pages. Price, $1.75, postpaid. -

This: book was written to commemorate the burning

of the papal bull by Luther at Wittenberg, December 10,
1520, four hundred years ago. While reading this book,
the thought came to us more than once, “If Professor Dau
could only devote his whole time to giving us historical
monographs like this!” In sobriety of judgment and
temper, in sympathetic insight into character, in firm
grasp of historical and ecclesiastical issues, in scholar-
ship and learning, this monograph is worthy of its sub-
ject. In its main outlines the book is full of dramatic
insight and force, and in its details full of the fruits of
deep study, ripe learning, and sound judgment.

Why Christian Day-Schools? Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. 4 pages. Price, 50 cts. per
100; $4.50 per 1,000, net; 10 cts. per dozen, post-
paid.

A leaflet that deserves wide circulation. It was writ-
ten by Dr. Kretzmann at the solicitation of an associa-
tion for the protection and advancement of our Lutheran
day-schools. The author gives a threefold answer to the
title-question: Our Christian day-schools are organized
in accordance with Biblical principles; they alone meet
all the demands of the times; they are of vital impor-
tance for the best interests of our country.

Whose Is the Child? By Prof. W.H.7'. Dau. American
Luther League, Fort Wayne, Ind. Price, 6 cts. per
copy; $4.00 per 100, postpaid. Special prices quoted
on whole editions. ~.

__ The most emphatic answer of the author to this ques-
tion is: The parents’. And that this answer is correct,
not only in the light of Scripture, but also in the light
of human reason and experience, is so convincingly set
forth that it seems well-nigh incredible how any one can
claim the contrary. The publishers are willing to send
the tract direct to any address under two-cent postage
at the rate of six cents per copy. Here is an opportunity
to get this valuable booklet into the hands of men and
women of influence, in or out of office. Take advantage
of the opportunity! F. J. L.
