should be wide disagreement, even by some who have committed the same error, concerns the meaning of the old word "Antiquity." Professor Marrou throws a glance, no more, toward Judea and Egypt. He must surely know the work of the archeologists who for a century have been teaching us about the school systems and literature of the Sumerians in the Tigris-Euphrates basin. Their schools provided an education that served their business and religious interests, and prepared the men who produced an extensive literature some of which was taken up into the Bible. Antiquity begins where our knowledge of '"early societies" begins, in Professor Thomas Woody's apt phrase. Professor Marrou missed Woody's Life and Education in Early Societies (1949), but his bibliography is extensive and his citations in footnotes are fully adequate. Even the general reader and certainly every teacher and student of the history of education should use this book.
