We offer again this year an attractive outing in Nova Scotia, planned for rest and recuperation. We have had ten years' experience in "personally conducting" Nova Scotia tours. We have something better to offer than the average railroad agent's hurried, crowded itinerary. Repeatedly our tourists have said to us that if the public knew the attractiveness and benefit of these excursions we could not find accommodations for the numbers who would enlist. It costs something to travel and stop at the best hotels, but we get our money's worth. Ladies without escort will find these tours safe and pleasant. Send for prospectus of tours of 1904. Eds. EDU CATION. Mr. James R. McDonald, formerly with The Macmillan Co., has accepted a position with Messrs. Little, Brown & Co., Boston, and will head an Educational Department to be established by this well-known firm. In EDUCATION for September we shall devote an unusual amount of space to the subject of the study of English. We expect to print in full an able paper by State Agent James W. MacDonald, Massachusetts, on "The Plight of English in the American High School;" Superintendent Eugene Bouton, Ph.D., Pittsfield, Mass., will speak of "High School English with Special Reference to College Entrance Requirements;" and Mrs. Jean Sherwood Rankin, Minneapolis, Minn., will consider some "Weaknesses in the Teaching of English in our Common Schools"; Miss May Lowe, Circleville, O., will write interestingly about "How the Library Travels to the Country Family;" Professor Franklin Sawvel, Greenville, Pa., will speak of "American Art Galleries,” with some special references to the art exhibits at the St. Louis Exposition, and unless crowded out by other things that may come up during the summer, Mr. S. S. Dent, New York City, will present some significant facts about education in the Philippines. With our usual departments, this will make up a worthy number with which to open the twenty-fifth year of EDUCATION. The Southworth-Stone Arithmetics Published, JANUARY, 1904 MAY 1st, officially adopted for territory aggregating iv PUBLISHERS' BULLETIN BOARD An advertisement to be of permanent value should have something about it that is worth keeping. We commend to school officials as an example of this the salary chart prepared by E. J. Edmands, the manager of the Educators' Exchange, 101 Tremont Street, Boston. He gives in it facts about the rise and fall of teachers' salaries in Massachusetts since 1852, which are well worth study. He also gives facts about superintendents' salaries, and a comparison of salaries paid in each New England State, which are interesting. His is a live teachers' agency. Better send to him for his chart as above. A million is a larger number than is readily comprehended by the average person. In setting the advertisement of Benjamin Sanborn & Co. on page iii. of May EDUCATION, the printer added a cipher to the statement of population of a territory which has officially adopted the wellknown Southworth-Stone Arithmetics. This error passed several proofreaders, and, of course, made the advertisement appear ridiculous. We desire to say here that the error was not the fault of Messrs. Sanborn and Co. The corrected statement appears on the same page this month, and we cordially wish the firm an adoption of these splendid arithmetics that may be truthfully described as 19,000,000. Mr. M. T. Rogers, for years identified with the J. L. Hammett Co., has assumed charge of the new School Department of The Scarborough Company, whose advertisement appears on another page. This firm's "Peerless" series of school maps is well named, judging from the map of New Jersey, which we have had the pleasure of examining. It has physical, geological, historical, commercial, political and other features, which put it at once into the very first rank of maps for school and other purposes. Our list of books arranged in an "Ideal Teacher's Library has proved so popular that we have doubled the list to make it more comprehensive. See pages xlii and xliii. We can furnish back numbers of Education to any persons who are preparing papers or addresses on any educational themes, that will contain authoritative discussions by the ablest writers during the past twenty-three years. Give us your subject, general or specific, and by the use of our elaborate card index we will name volume and number, author and article on your theme, and send you what you want at the regular price, 35 cents a number. Nearly every article is cheapened, in cost of production, at expense of quality. Dobbin's Electric Soap is exactly today what it was in 1865, absolutely pure, harmless and uniform. It was 10 cents. It is now only 5 cents. Ask your grocer for it. Look out for imitations. We offer a fine $2.50 Waterman Ideal gold Fountain Pen absolvtely free, by registered mail, for one new subscription to EDUCATION at the regular price of $3.00 per year. The new Shorthand Manual published by F. J. Stein, 31st and Cumberland Sts., Philadelphia, embodies a very good and simple method. It contains 94 full-page plates. List $1.25. TAPPAN'S OUR COUNTRY'S STORY. An Elementary History of the United States. 65 cents. LARNED'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & COMPANY 4 Park Street, Boston 85 Fifth Ave., New York 378-388 Wabash Ave. Chicago vi PUBLISHERS' BULLETIN BOARD Miss Elizabeth Porter Gould's "John Adams and Daniel Webster as Schoolmasters" is an excellent illustration of what can be done in the way of specialized and local historical study and investigation. Hon. Charles Francis Adams wrote for it an interesting introduction. It has already met with a cordial reception by the public, and commendatory letters have been received from many distinguished persons, among the number ex-President Cleveland. We are sure that a large number of public libraries throughout the country will wish to include this little book in their lists this season. Send for circular giving press and individual opinions. Many large cities have this year adopted the "Holden System for Preserving Books," such as Cleveland, Syracuse, Newark, Spokane, Superior, Seattle, etc. They surely save school boards money and keep the books cleaner, or their business would not grow but would decrease after trial. They have been all the season about 500,000 covers behind orders. DISCONTINUANCES. Subscribers wishing their magazine stopped at the expiration of their subscription should notify us to that effect two weeks before the first of the month in which the subscription ends; otherwise we shall consider it their wish to have it continued. Magazines are sent until ordered stopped and all arrearages paid. RECEIPTS.-We do not send receipts for Subscriptions unless the request be accompanied with stamp. The changed date on your label (within at least the second month after) will indicate that the remittance was received. Subscribers should promptly inform us of an error in their date. CHANGES OF ADDRESS.- When a change of address is ordered, both the new and the old address must be given, and notices sent three weeks before the change is desired. Is the latest of the leaflets added to the Old South series. The attention of teachers is called to these reprints of important historical documents.
