ALL TEACHERS: 



The September number of the Rural 

 School Leaflet contains subject matter 

 in nature-study and agriculture as 

 outlined by the New York State 

 Syllabus for 1912-1913. This leaflet 

 will be sent to every teacher in New 

 York State who makes request for it. 

 We ask that all city teachers desiring 

 the leaflet apply first to their city 

 superintendent. If he cannot supply 

 a copy, apply to us. 



In addition to the September leaflet 

 we shall issue leaflets for boys and 

 girls in November, in January, and in March. On receipt of 

 the pupils' names these leaflets will be sent to teachers and 

 children in rural districts and in communities of three thousand 

 inhabitants or less. 



We hope the teachers will encourage the children to write let- 

 ters to Mr. Tuttle in reply to the leaflets, describing some experi- 

 ence or asking questions that cannot be answered at home or in 

 school. Each letter should give, in addition to the child's name 

 and address, the name of the township and the number of the 

 school district. 



In order to enable us to handle our large correspondence and 

 mailing lists with promptness and accuracy, we urge that the 

 teacher observe the following : 



1. Do not apply for other than the September leaflet unless 

 you are a teacher in a rural district or in a community of three 

 thousand inhabitants or less. 



2. Send us on the attached blank (page 3) the names of all boys 

 and girls in your school. Before returning the blank be sure 

 that it is properly filled out.
