A JOURNAL FOR TEACHERS 



The success of The Review must depend upon its usefulness to teachers who 

 are engaged in putting to practical test the latest ideas concerning the teaching of 

 nature-study. For this reason the editors want to give particular attention to the 

 practical side of the teacher's work, and suggestions from any source will be grate- 

 fully received and carefully considered. 



MONTHLY PUBLICATION 



Numerous friends of The Review point out the importance of monthly pubH- 

 cation during the school year, September to June inclusive. The desirability of this 

 has been recognized from the very beginning of the plans for the journal ; but the 

 advice of persons of experience has been that a bi-monthly should be tried the first 

 year, and if that is well supported then change from six to eight or nine issues per 

 year. The outlook for monthly publication next year is now hopeful. But we must 

 have many more subscribers, and we ask present subscribers to co-operate with us 

 in reaching teachers who have not yet learned that this special journal is being pub- 

 lished. Please send us the names of those who may be interested, and rriention 

 The Rp:vie:w to your friends. 



TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS 



To those who have not yet been persuaded that they need The Review regu- 

 larly, a special trial subscription price of thirty cents for one half year is offered. 



. CLUB RATES 



Special rates for associations and classes of teachers will be quoted to those in- 

 terested. A great reduction for 5, 10, 20 or more subscriptions in one order. 



COMMISSIONS FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS 



Any present subscriber sending two new subscriptions for one year will have his 

 own subscription extended one year. 



Cash commissions will be quoted to agents w^ho are interested. We want ener- 

 getic agents in every locality where nature-study is prominent in the schools.
