To keep ambitious teachers in
touch with the newest and best
ideas and methods in education, to
give them practical help, to print
the important news of the educa-
tional field, that in a nutshell is
the policy of AMERICAN EDUCATION
for the ensuing year. Therefore,
this magazine should be included
in the reading list ordered for
every school faculty. Elsewhere
in this number will be found an
announcement of magazine offers
which have been carefully selected
for teachers and pupils. Particu-
lar attention has been given to the
selection of magazines suitable for
the study of current topics. This
subject has become so popular
that every school should have its
reading table for pupils. In many
schools they co-operate with the
teachers in securing the necessary
periodicals. As a digest of the
important news of the month will
be given in every number of
AMERICAN EDUCATION, this depart-
ment will be a valuable source of
information.
Arrangements have been made
with Elmer J. Bailey to furnish out-
lines of the English classics cover-
ing the rest of the texts required
by the New York State syllabus.
