Excerpt from The University of North Carolina Record, Vol. 105: January, 1913
The better professional training of the teacher is the great est problem which American education has to face today. Not only the embryo' teacher, but the teacher in active service, must get and keep in touch with the best that is being done and said in the field of education if our educational system is not finally to break down of its own weight.
For the teacher Who-cannot afford the time to study at some institution, there is still open the recourse of the reading of professional books. But treatises on education are produced today in such numbers that it is often very difficult to win now the wheat from the chaff, and pick those books which will be of some definite service. Mere titles sometimes tell little, advertisements often bewilder more than they aid.
From time to time, there have come to the Department of Education requests for lists of books on special topics or in the general field of educational theory. This bulletin is an attempt to give a descriptive list of books of value to two classes of teachers; to superintendents of school systems and to high school teachers and principals. It is hoped later to issue bulletins having a more definite reference to other class es of teachers, but limitations of space have made necessary this restriction in the present publication.
Books dealing only with elementary school problems, with those of the rural school, the farm-life school, etc., have been with one or two exceptions, omitted, since it seemed best to focus on high school problems and those of general reference, rather than to attempt to scatter ove-r the whole field in such limited space.
