The list here presented is not intended to include the "hundred best books" on education. It merely offers, within a reasonable compass, representative selections from those divisions of educational literature, both general and special, that are of marked interest and value to the public-school teachers of America. As such it may serve to answer some of the numerous inquiries which come from teachers and librarians who have in view the formation of small working collections in this department of literature. Thirty prominent educators representing all sections of the country, have shared with the staff of the Bureau of Education in the selection of these one hundred titles. The list is restricted to works in the English language, though it contains a number of important foreign books, both classical and contemporary, in translation. An author and subject index is included. [Best copy available has been provided.]
