1270 Rural School Leaflet 



THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CORNELL RURAL SCHOOL 



• LEAFLET 



Edward M. Tuttle 



"S the demand for the Cornell Rural School Leaflet 

 constantly increases and many persons are newly 

 added to the lists each year, it may be well to 

 describe briefly the methods employed in distribut- 

 ing the publication. 



The first number of the leaflet for each school 

 year is published in September and is known as 

 the September, or subject-matter, leaflet. It 

 reaches all teachers of elementary grades without 

 individual request on their part. The names of 

 all teachers under rural supervision are obtained at the earliest possible 

 date from the district superintendent, and a copy of the September 

 leaflet is sent directly to each teacher. Grade teachers in cities and incor- 

 porated villages receive the leaflet from their superintendent of schools, 

 to whom copies are sent in bulk for distribution. 



Every teacher in New York State below the high school is entitled 

 to a copy of the September leaflet. In the case of teachers under city 

 or village supervision, this is the only leaflet available to them during 

 the year. In the case of teachers under rural supervision, additional 

 copies of the Cornell Rural School Leaflet are available. They may be 

 obtained as follows: 



Accompanying the September teachers' leaflet will be found a blank 

 form for the names of pupils. This blank should be filled out immediately 

 and returned to Miss Alice G. McCloskey, College of Agriculture, Ithaca, 

 New York. The pupils' names will then be placed on file and each 

 teacher will be sent a sufficient number of copies of the leaflets for boys 

 and girls to supply the school. We hope to send three leaflets for chil- 

 dren — one in November, one in January, and one in March. These are 

 distributed to the pupils by the teacher. 



To summarize : In order to perfect our method of distribution, teachers 

 in elementary schools should remember the following: 



1 . A copy of the September number of the Cornell Rural School Leaflet 

 for teachers will be received through the mail early in the school year. 



2. A blank accompanies the teachers' leaflet, which is to be used only 

 by teachers of elementary grades under the supervision of district super- 

 intendents. (See page 1307.) 



3. The blank should be carefully filled out with the name and address, 

 district number, township, county, name of district superintendent, and 

 names of pupils.
