Fol- lowing this, the types of childrens activities were outlined with ap- propriate suggestions for conduct- ing them. Ideas for the variation of lesson procedure were given, helpful pointers for the teacher in presentation, and explanation on il lustrative material.' The later part of the course dealt with the principles of story telling, and ac tual nlaboratoryn eiperience was given by having theiclass tell stories to pupils in the nearby Ghristian Day School. ' More vivid has vecome the large place the teacher has to fill, and a deeper desire and knowledge of how to fill that place has become more real because of being in child renis work. F.

Shetler HOSEA AND JOELL-The minor profits are the first two of a series of twelve smaller, but not of lessen importance. It is interesting to note the rustic beauty of these rural spokesmen of God and the many pointed truths that are still ap-i plicable today. The poetic struc- ture of these writings become the object of intense study and ended in the memorization of the fine passages. N y It has been definitely inter- esting study and has helped me to appreciate the books more. S. Troyer This book shows'us how God loves a fallen world, and it helps us to better understand prophecy and the dark savings. Ms Kandel LRLKLQI KL. QLQI 'Ls' v 1.
