The Boston Way, Plans for the Development of the Individual Child

by the Special Class Teachers of Boston. Concord, N. H.: The Rumford Press, 1917. Pp. 127. This book is the united work of the special class teachers of Boston, edited by a committee of their Club, and published in the hope that it will help mothers and teachers to a better understanding of the backward child. It is, in effect, a very complete syllabus of the training given in the Boston Special Classes. Sense training leads the way, and a number of exercises and games are given for the development in turn of each of the special senses. Motor training comes next, with a goodly list of physical exercises, followed by indoor and outdoor games, folk dancing, and music. Then come the academic branches, ending with drawing. Domestic science follows, then garden and farm work, and various manual occupations, including basketry, cobbling, sewing, knitting, etc. Manners
