✦ Synopsis

Three n e r books have been made available for students of iiiedicine and allied sciences who are struggling with the problem of becoming acquainted with the language of their new subjects. One js intensely practical, a new Ilictionary. The other two give evidence of a n increasing realization among teachers, at least in medical schools, that the direct approach, simplified spelling, and brute memory are not a s efTective in building a facility with language as a study of the history of words.
