F ACULTY BULLETINS Among the educational publications announced for the summer trade by the American Book 00., is a book on liHistory in the Elementary Schools by W. F. Bliss, Head of the Department of History in the Normal School. This work will be of special importance to all the alumni of the school as well as to all teachers of history in the elementary schools of the State, since it contains the well-known course in history from the first to the eighth grades which Mr. Bliss has been conducting for many years in our train- ing school, including a complete outline of American History based on McMasteris uBrief Historyii, the present California state text book, for the use of pupils of the seventh and eighth grades. In addition the book contains thorough discussions of methods in the various grades, extended bibliographies, giving authors, publishers, and prices of all books mentioned, and several original plays and stories that have been worked out in our training school. The work is intended to be a complete manual in history teaching for the use of teachers. It is expected that the pupilsl outline of American History will be published in cheap pamphlet form so that it can be placed in the hands of all pupils of the seventh and eighth grades at a nominal cost. The book Will be published about July first. One of the features of the Training School during the past year has been the correlation of the work of the departments of history and manual training in the primary grades under the supervision of Mr. Bliss and Miss Lamb, heads of their respective departments, With Miss Gertrude Laws in immediate charge of the work. A bulletin is in course of preparation by these departments, Which will be profusely illustrated, giving full directions for carrying on this very important work. The bulletin Will be issued be- fore next year. A teachersi manual in geography is being prepared by Mr. Skilling and Miss Greer. Its purpose is to enable teachers, With the aid of a small geo- graphical library, to put into practice the methods employed in our training school, which emphasize extensive reading in the subject. It is hoped to have the manual ready for use early next year. During the first semester of the year beginning Sept, 1911, the Normal School expects to issue a bulletin Which will give a bibliography of all books recommended for teachersi reading by the several departments.
