PUBLISHER'S PREFACE. MANY contributions to the theory or the practice of teaching are yearly lost to the profession, because they are embodied in articles which are too long, or too profound, or too limited as to number of interested readers, for popular magazine articles, and yet not sufficient in volume for books. We propose to publish from time to time, under the title of Monographs on Education, just such essays, prepared by specialists, choice in matter, practical in treatment, and of unquestionable value to teachers. Our plan is to furnish the monographs in paper covers, and at low prices. We shall continue the series as long as teachers buy freely enough to allow the publishers to recover merely the money invested. Of this series we are now ready to announce the four following: Modern Petrography. By GEORGE HUNTINGTON WILLIAMS, of the Johns Hopkins University. Price by mail, 25 cents. The Study of Latin in the Preparatory Course. By EDWARD P. MORRIS, M.A., Professor of Latin, Williams College, Mass. Price by mail, 25 cents. Mathematical Teaching and its Modern Methods.
