SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY

All serious students of history should have access to the American Historical Review (N. Y., 1895 to date, quarterly, $4.00 a year). This journal, the organ of the American Historical Association, contains articles by scholars, critical reviews of all important works, and notes and news. The Historical Outlook (formerly the History Teacher's Magazine) is edited under the supervision of a committee of the American Historical Association (Philadelphia, 1909 to date, monthly, $2.00 a year). Every well-equipped school library should contain the files of the National Geographic Magazine (Washington, 1890 to date, monthly, $3.50 a year) and of Art and Archæology (Washington, 1914 to date, monthly, $4.00 a year). These two periodicals make a special feature of illustrations. Current History (N. Y., 1914 to date, monthly, $4.00 a year) contains many of the valuable articles appearing in the daily edition of the New York Times, as well as much additional matter of contemporary interest.

Useful books for the teacher's library include H. E. Bourne, The Teaching of History and Civics in the Elementary and the Secondary School (N. Y., 1902, Longmans, Green & Co., $1.90), Henry Johnson, The Teaching of History (N. Y., 1915, Macmillan, $1.80), H. B. George, Historical Evidence (N- Y., 1909, Oxford University Press, American Branch, $1.80), J. H. Vincent, Historical Research (N. Y., 1911, Holt, $4.00), Frederic Harrison, The Meaning of History and Other Historical Pieces (new ed., N.Y., 1900, Macmillan, $2.50), J. H. Robinson, The New History (N. Y., 1912, Macmillan, $2.00), and H. B. George, The Relations of History and Geography (4th ed., N. Y., 1910, Oxford University Press, American Branch, $2.25).
