LESSONS IN HYGIENIC PHYSIOLOGY
By W. M. Coleman. x + 271 pages. 198 illustrations (16 colored, 13 full-page plates). 60 cents net.
In Lessons in Hygienic Physiology the study of physiology is simplified without weakening the presentation of its three essential principles—the biological principle of environment, the chemical principle of oxidation, and the physical principle of energy. The subject is approached throughout from the standpoint of health, because this is the most useful as well as the most interesting point of view. The question of temperance is treated fully, but at the same time in a conservative manner. The book is fully illustrated, one hundred and ninety-eight figures being furnished, sixteen of which are colored. The Lessons is suited to the needs of teachers who may find the Elements somewhat too advanced for their classes.
ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY
By W. M. Coleman. xii + 364 pages. A very full course in Physiology and Hygiene. Profusely illustrated in black and white and in colors. 90 cents net.
This book has an exceptionally large number of illustrations—two hundred and forty-eight, of which eight are full-page colored plates. The need for a compound microscope is largely obviated by sixty microscopic views of cells and tissues. The Elements is provided with a Colored Manikin arranged to show every important organ in its natural position with reference to the organs before it, behind it, and around it. Since every pupil has the manikin while studying each lesson, it is really more serviceable than the manikins usually found in schools. This book contains twenty-five Thought Lessons of about ten questions each, logically developing different lines of thought; also three hundred questions in Applied Physiology.

BOTANY
An Elementary Text for Schools. By L. H. Bailey, Director of the College of Agriculture, and Professor of Rural Economy in Cornell University. Revised and enlarged. Illustrated. 12mo. Half leather. xiv + 355 pages. $1.10 net.
The subjects treated are four in number: the nature of the plant itself, the relation of the plant to its surroundings, the minute structures of plants, and the determination of the kinds of plants. Each of these subjects is practically distinct, so that the teacher may begin where he will.
The five hundred illustrations in the book are an important as well as an attractive feature. They are not pictures merely—they are illustrations of the subject-matter; many of them are reproductions of photographs.
A flora containing descriptions of more than six hundred common wild and cultivated plants, with keys to the natural orders, completes the book.
LESSONS WITH PLANTS
Suggestions for Seeing and Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of Vegetation. By Professor L. H. Bailey. Illustrated. 12mo. Half leather. xxxi + 491 pages. $1.10 net.
The book is based upon the idea that the proper way to begin the study of plants is by means of plants, instead of formal ideas or definitions. Instead of a definition as a model telling the pupil what he is to see, the plant shows him what there is to be seen, and the definition follows. In this way the pupil soon begins to generalize, and the conclusion reached is the true definition.
