Correspondence
Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.
“Allow me to congratulate you on the quality of your first number of
THE HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.... I am specially delighted to see the
simplicity of style in all the articles. It seems to me that a reader
wholly untrained in history ought to be able to follow each article
with comparative ease. Most of the articles might have been written so
that none but specialists would appreciate them.” S. A. D.
Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.
“I notice in your magazine an account of the translations and reprints
from the series of European history covering the period from the Roman
times to the nineteenth century. Do you know of any work similar to
this covering the period of Ancient History?” M. C. S.
ANS.--There are two good source books on Ancient History published by
D. C. Heath & Co., entitled Munro’s “Source Book of Roman History” and
Fling’s “Source Book of Greek History.”
Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.
“Will you kindly give the publisher of Cheyney’s ‘European Background
of American History’ and Farrand’s ‘Basis of American History?’” L. B.
M.
ANS.--Cheyney’s work is Vol. I in Hart’s “American Nation”; Farrand’s
is Vol. II in the same series. The work is published by Harpers, and
the volumes can be bought separately.
Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.
“Can you refer me to a short work giving an account of the migrations
of the barbarians?”
ANS.--The writer knows of no primer or handbook upon the barbarian
invasions. One of the best of the accounts is that in Emerton’s
“Introduction to the Middle Ages.” Shorter, but very good, is the
chapter in Robinson’s “Introduction to the History of Western Europe.”
More detailed accounts, with other matter interspersed, will be
found in Hodgkin’s “Dynasty of Theodosius,” and in Oman’s “The Dark
Ages.” Extended accounts will, of course, be found in Sargeant’s “The
Franks,” Hodgkin’s “Theodoric,” Valari’s “Barbarian Invaders of Italy,”
Hodgkin’s “Italy and Her Invaders,” and in Bury’s “Later Roman Empire”
and his edition of Gibbon. There is a short work by Rev. William H.
Hutton entitled “The Church and the Barbarians.” An excellent word
picture of the invasions is to be found in Freytag’s “Bilder aus dem
Mittelalter.”
Editor HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE.
“I was interested in your HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE and will hand
it to our history teacher. I write asking you to recommend some
periodicals for English teachers of a similar nature.”
ANS.--We know of no periodical for English teachers exactly similar to
our own. The following magazines are largely devoted to research rather
than to practical methods of teaching English: “Modern Language Notes,”
Baltimore, Md., eight months a year, $1.50 a year; “Modern Philology,”
University of Chicago Press, quarterly; $3.00 a year; “Modern Language
Review,” Cambridge, England, 12 shillings, 6 pence; “Publications of
the Modern Language Association of America,” Cambridge, Mass.

QUALITY PRINTING
¶ The keen competition which obtains in almost every business is
largely responsible for the fact that the purchaser of
PRINTING
too often considers only the lowest price offered when placing his
order. Unfortunate, because there is a vast difference in the
QUALITY
of the materials used as well as in the quality of labor employed. With
poor material and inferior workmanship quality must be sacrificed, and
the result is a poor piece of printing that is expensive at any price.
When in need of anything in our line, and you desire the right quality,
