8vo. pp. (18), 234, (99). Title page printed in red & black, but age soiled. Disbound. Sallust was a famed Roman historian and politician. He was tribune of the people (52 B.C.) and praetor (46). He was ejected (50) from the senate ostensibly for adultery, but more probably because of his partisanship for Caesar. He served with Caesar after his praetorship and was his governor in Numidia; he was s ubsequently accused of misusing his governorship for personal gain. His principal works are the Bellum Catilinae, on the conspiracy of Catiline and his account of the Jugurthine War, Bellum Jugurthinu m. His history of Rome is extant only in fragments; it probably covered the period 78 B.C. to 67 B.C. As a historian Sallust was important as one of the first to write historical monographs dealing wi th sharply limited events and periods. Although his style is consciously archaic, it is distinguished by its terseness and directness. His character sketches are particularly impressive and vivid, and his work has found as many imitators as critics - Columbia Encyclopedia. . **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121 Rear L

The author was Superintendent of Schools, Chatham,Ontario. This book is "A Condensation of a Thesis Submitted in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Pedagogy in the University of Toronto". and includes and array of statistical charts and tables reflecting the reults of various reading and intelligence tests administered to White and Negro schoolchildren in the area during the 1930s. 'It is proposed in the following work to give some account of the history of the early settlement of Negroes in Kent County, Ontario, and to make a study of the mental capacity of Kent County coloured children.While there are many data available from the testing of American Negroes, very few attempts have been made to examine the mental capacity of any reasonably large group of Canadian Negroes. Kent County, Ontario, was among the few regions where Black people were found in comparatively large numbers". The book reflects some of the common racial perceptions of that period, but nevertheless the author was aware of some of the limitations of his data and notes in his concluding pages that "When considering the present investigation the question of the socio-economic environment of the Negroes should be given some thought. If socio-economic environment affects intelligence and school achievement, this factor. should be kept in mind when considering the results of this present investigation'' and also "In fairness to the Negroes it should be pointed out that the tests used in the present investigation have been standardized on White children; and in consequence there is the possibility that owing to a different cultural, social and general environmental background the Negro is unfairly handicapped when he attempts the white mans' tests" [The same problems which, even 70+ years on, still affect educational testing!] 187p. illus, maps, charts tables, bibliography, index.
