THE ARNOLDS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH EDUCATION. By SIR JOSHUA FITCH, M. A., LL. D. (The Great Educators. ) N° O book heretofore published concerning one or both of the Arnolds has accomplished the task performed in the present instance by Sir Joshua Fitch. A long-time colleague of Matthew Arnold in the British Educational Department, the author-leaving biography aside-has with unusual skill, written a succinct and fascinating account of the important services rendered to the educational interest of Great Britain by the Master of Rugby and his famous son. Whatever in the teaching of both seems likely to prove of permanent value has been judiciously selected by the author from the mass of their writings, and incorporated in the present volume. The American educational public, which cannot fail to acknowledge a lasting. debt of gratitude to the Arnolds, father and son, will certainly welcome this sympathetic exposition of their influence and opinions. "The book is opportune, for the Arnoldian tradition, though widely diffused in America, is not well based on accurate knowledge and is pretty much in the air. Dr. Fitch seems the fittest person by reason of his spiritual sympathy with the father and his personal association with the son, to sketch in this brief way the two most typical modern English educators. And he has done his work almost ideally well within his limitations of purpose. as they were."-PRESIDENT ALDERMAN of the the Educational Review, New York.
