A. Courtis Last year 400,000 pupils in the public schools of the United States used the Courtis tests in arithmetic.

This device provides the means of ascertaining the individual needs of the pupils, and the degree and kind of drill to meet those needs. The 1920 Revision amplifies the facilities for testing and offers several new features for scientific measuring and supervisory work. Specimen Set: Consists of 2 envelopes of Lesson Cards, 1 to 48, Forms A and B; 1 Student's Record and Practice Pad; and 1 Teacher's Manual. Price $1.50 postpaid.

Only one child in twenty, surveys show, has a healthy mouth. A crippled chewing machine cannot properly prepare food for the stomach. The film shows causes and progress of tooth decay, from the fermentation set up by food remnants to the formation of abscesses, which produce a poison that may cause various common diseases, such as rheumatism, heart disease, neuritis, etc. The proper use of the tooth brush and dental floss, and the need of semi-annual visits to a dentist, are emphasized, (d, Henry Bollman.)

SCHOOL AND SOCIETY With which are consolidated THE SCHOOL JOURNAL, established in 1874, and THE TEACHERS MAGAZINE, established in 1878 SCHOOL AND SOCIETY began publication on January 2, 1915, under the editorship of Dr. J. McKeen Cattell, editor of "Science,"' "The Scientific Monthly" and the "American Naturalist." The journal covers the field of education in relation to the problems of American democracy, cooperating with publications in special fields, aiming to become the professional journal for those engaged in the work of our lower and higher schools, and to be of interest to the wider public for whom education is of vital concern. It emphasizes the relations of education to the social order, scientific research in education and its applications, freedom of discussion, and news of events of educational interest. Each number ordinarily contains articles and addresses of some length, shorter contributions, discussion and correspondence, reviews and abstracts, reports and quotations, proceedings of societies and a department of educational notes and news. The publication every week in the year permits promptness in printing articles, convenience for discussion and timeliness in the news. The need of such a journal and the welcome it has met are best witnessed by the important articles by distinguished contributors that appear in each issue of the journal. Single number 15 cents.
