ILLUSTRATIVE READINGS MANY of the authorities indicated in the marginal references are too technical or detailed for use outside of the college class-room. Such books, moreover, are not available in the usual school or town library. Students of high school grade should be assigned a course of supplementary reading descriptive of the industry most familiar to them or illustrating the economic development of the city or state in which they live. Biography and fiction may serve to rouse interest in the bread and butter aspect of human history and may actualize a difficult industrial problem more effectively than a scientific treatise.
