Excerpt from Primary Methods, Vol. 1 Miss Sarah E. Sprague, Ph. D., has devoted her life to the primary schools. She is a graduate of Saint Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y., and of the Oswego Normal School. For more than nine years she served as principal of prominent city training schools in New England. She then went to Minnesota, where for several years she was state conductor of teachers' institutes and state inspector of graded schools. Through the Sprague Classic Readers, of which she is the author, and frequent contributions to educational periodicals, she has acquired a wide reputa tion among educators. Her broad experience, intimate acquaintance with child psychology and thorough knowledge of the teacher's needs especially fit her for the preparation of such a work as primary methods. The lessons in Number were prepared by Mrs. Jessica Eades Marshall, a graduate of Cornell University and of the Northern Illinois State Normal School. Later she was train ing teacher in the State Normal School at Duluth, Minn. The lessons on Drawing and Music were each prepared by specialists in their chosen field of labor, the Drawing by Miss Edith L. Virden, a teacher of experience in public schools and a graduate of the Art Institute, Chicago, and the Music by Miss Mary Reid Pierce, head of the Depart ment of Music, American Book Company, a supervisor of music who has had eleven years of experience in public schools. The Table of Contents contains an analytical outline of each lesson, and in the Index may be found the cross references necessary to enable the student to correlate the subjects or quickly find the discussion of any topic.'
