published a pamphlet on the Philosophy of
Education.--_N. Y. Sun._

We have in this compact and unpretentious treatise a great deal of pith
and acumen, brought to bear upon a most important subject--that of
educational first principles. Mr. Sands has gone to the base of human
teaching, discarding pretentious themes, in order to illustrate the
simpler beauty of that eductive and inductive co-relationship which,
beginning at the mother's breast, proceeds through all the quiet processes
of mental development in infancy, childhood, and maturity.--_N. Y.
Dispatch._

His hints may well arrest the attention of thoughtful men.--_N. Y.
Tribune._

We commend it to the thoughtful consideration of all, but especially of
our public men. * * * Commissioners of Schools and others charged with
youthful training may advantageously consider the reflections.--_N. Y.
Evening Post._
