Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 7 With the new volume seven, which begins with this number, the editor shares its control with a distinguished list of co-operating editors from whose aid material improvement is to be hoped for. In the first article Professor Barnes presents a brief study, admirably based like all his work on large numbers of children, from which he is able to make interesting comparisons of the ideals of London children with those of California, whose ideals he had previously studied. In the second and longest article, Mr. Small presents the results of the fullest and most comprehensive study in recent times known to the editor on the relations between society and solitude. He collected the experiences of many writers distinguished as recluses, isolated himself in the forest for some time, gathered experiences from children and adults, went over prison records and those of feral men, and treats of the pets, productions, imaginary companions, occupations, and educational values of isolation. Professor Burnham summarizes with characteristic discretion and thoroughness recent literature and present practices of health inspection in schools, with a candid discussion of recent methods and objections, and a valuable bibliography.
