The Educational Outlook.

The Hon. Andrew Dickson White, former president of Cornell University, Minister to Germany, etc., has gathered statistics with reference to crime, particularly murder, and finds that in murders and particularly in unpunished murders our own country leads the world, and Chicago leads the United States. The number of murderers now awaiting trial in the chief cities of the world, is as follows:

Management and Methods

By THOMAS E. SANDERS

We are glad to announce that we have just secured the publishing rights of Management and Methods, by Thomas E. Sanders. This book came from press only a few months ago and has met with splendid sales. It is plain, practical, pointed, and pedagogically sound. The author speaks from a wide experience. He hits the point on every topic. He discusses the problems of school management and methods of teaching from the standpoint of the great mass of teachersthose teaching in the rural and village schools. It is in reality what one teacher declared it to be, "the book that makes teaching easier for you.

For State or County Reading Circles, the teachers' institute or round table, or for private reading or study, it will give satisfaction.
