RECENT EDUCATIONAL WORKS.

"Abbreviated Longhand," is the title of a neat little text-book from the pen of Wallace Ritchie. The topic treated sets forth a system of note-taking which may be learned in a short space of time by any student, and which materially diminishes the amount of drudgery attendant upon lecture courses. "Punctuation and Capitalization," is the title given a text-book devoted to the especial consideration of these important branches of rhetoric. The subject is treated in an eminently practical manner. Both the above works are from the publishing house of J. B. Huling, Chicago.
