In the Graduate Schools

The committee on publications of the Graduate School of Education has announced the publication of four books written by alumni of the school. All four of the authors are occupying positions in educational institutions. The books are the following: "Secondary Education in Germany, France, England, and Denmark," by S. P. Cabot '01, former Headmaster of St. Georges School; "Educational Achievement in Relation to Intelligence," by C. W. St. John, who graduated from the school in 1926 and is now teaching at Dana College, Newark, New Jersey; "Curriculum Problems in Industrial Education," by F. C. Smith, registrar, and lecturer on vocational education at the school, who graduated in 1924; and "Studies and Tests on Virgil's Aeneid," by Florence Waterman, who is now teaching at the Windsor School, Boston.

"Educational Achievement in Relation to Intelligence" consists of a discussion, based upon a four-year study of nearly 1000 public school children, of the relationship between educational achievement and intelligence as revealed in certain elementary grades by teachers' marks, promotions, and scores on standard tests.

The second book consists of a series of lectures drawn from a first-hand knowledge of over 40 secondary schools in England and on the continent, attempting to set forth in brief compass their existing principles and practices. "Studies and Tests on Virgil's Aeneid" involves an application to the teaching of Latin of the principles which govern the making of objective tests, and not only provides the teacher with material for a general Latin survey, but aids the student to gain a full appreciation of the poem. In "Curriculum Problems of Industrial Education," the educator faces the inaccuracies and inadequacies of contemporary industrial-trained programs, devised and operated by organized labor, industry, and the school.
