_Heroes of Israel_ (Soares). Stories selected from the Old
Testament which are calculated to inspire the imagination of boys
and girls of the early adolescent period. The most complete
instructions for preparation and presentation of the lesson are
given the teacher in his manual. The pupil's book provides the full
text of each story and many questions which will lead to the
consideration of problems arising in the life of boys and girls of
this age.
_Old Testament Stories_ (Corbett). Also a series of stories
selected from the Old Testament. Complete instructions for vivid
presentation are given the teacher in his manual. The pupil's
material consists of a notebook containing a great variety of
opportunities for constructive handwork.
Paul was a great hero. Most people know him only as a theologian. His
life presents miracles of courage, struggle, loyalty, and
self-abnegation. The next book in the series is intended to help the
pupil to see such a man. The student is assisted by a wealth of local
color.
_Paul of Tarsus_ (Atkinson). The story of Paul which is partially
presented to the pupil and partially the result of his own
exploration in the Bible and in the library. Much attention is
given to story of Paul's boyhood and his adventurous travels,
inspiring courage and loyalty to a cause. The pupil's notebook is
similar in form to the one used in the study of Gates's "Life of
Jesus," but more advanced in thought.
HIGH SCHOOL, 13-17 YEARS
In the secular school the work of the eighth grade is tending toward
elimination. It is, therefore, considered here as one of the high-school
grades. In the high-school years new needs arise. There is necessary a
group of books which will dignify the study of the Bible and give it as
history and literature a place in education, at least equivalent to that
of other histories and literatures which have contributed to the
progress of the world. This series is rich in biblical studies which
will enable young people to gain a historical appreciation of the
religion which they profess. Such books are
_The Gospel According to Mark_ (Burton). A study of the life of
Jesus from this gospel. The full text is printed in the book, which
is provided with a good dictionary and many interesting notes and
questions of very great value to both teacher and pupil.
_The First Book of Samuel_ (Willett). Textbook for teacher and
pupil in which the fascinating stories of Samuel, Saul, and David
are graphically presented. The complete text of the first book of
Samuel is given, many interesting explanatory notes, and questions
which will stir the interest of the pupil, not only in the present
volume but in the future study of the Old Testament.
