Gilman has long been identified with the movement toward a gradual broadening of the curriculum of a college course, and the plan which he now puts forth is worthy of great consideration. Any radical movement which has long been needed is very likely to be carried to an excess if it is not restricted by some restraining influence.

The topic treated sets forth a system of note-taking which may be learned in a short space of time by any student, and which materially diminishes the amount of drudgery attendant upon lecture courses. "Punctuation and Capitalization," is the title given a text-book devoted to the especial consideration of these important branches of rhetoric. The subject is treated in an eminently practical manner. Both the above works are from the publishing house of J. B. Huling, Chicago...
