N2  - At a time when pedagogic methods are being subjected to new scrutiny as to their effects on the mind and body of man and as to their efficiency in securing the results desired, the evidence most needed is, of course, the case report. The author has conducted an experimental school in Alabama which has attracted the attention of educators generally. She would abolish desks from classrooms for children below 10 years of age, limit all classes to twenty children or less, abolish examinations, grades and recitations, teach by the vocational and discussion method, and have these things purposeful or playlike in character. There would be no home work. Here, obviously, is a child's paradise for instruction. This book is stimulating and written with a sincerity that is bound to command respect. The volume is full of common sense and is worthy of serious consideration.
