This circular is simply an advisory one, although we are con- 

 vinced that it has already awakened a genuine interest in many 

 quarters in its subject. We find that there .ire very few rural 

 books which are adapted to the needs of children or which can 

 be put in the hands of teachers in the country schools. We have 

 therefore conceived of a series of leaflets upon object lessons, 

 dealing with common things, which may be put in the hands of 

 teachers, and, when desired, of pupils as well. We have pre- 

 ferred that these little texts be not read to the pupils as stories, 

 but that they shall answer as suggestions to the teachers who 

 shall have the children perform the simple experiments and to 

 make the direct observations which are there indicated. One of 

 these leaflets is herewith reprinted:
