THE ACADEMY. 
A Journal of Secondary Education. 
HE ACADEMY is endeavoring to fill a place hitherto unoccupied 
A in educational journalism. It appeals to teachers above the 
grammar grade, and though specially directed to the work of those in 
charge of schools, it will be found to be of high value and interest to 
all engaged in department work. 
IT HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED SUCCESS, 
Having subscribers in every state of the Union. It aims tobe practical 
rather than literary, and to present the views of none but successful 
teachers actually engaged in the work. It is entirely co-operative, no 
one of the teachers connected with it receiving either salary or pecu¬ 
niary compensation for his time or labor. 
ITS SOLE OBJECT IS TO ASSIST TEACHERS, 
And bring them closer to one another and to their work. 
It looks directly to teachers for its support, depends upon them for 
its efficiency, and asks the help of their subscriptions, their influence, 
and a free interchange of ideas. 
B EGINNING with the third volume (February, 1888), The Acad¬ 
emy was enlarged for the third time, and its price increased to 
one dollar and fifty cents a year. 
These three successive enlargements may be accepted as an indi¬ 
cation that there is a field for just such a journal as The Academy. It 
is devoted solely to the interests of secondary teachers and their work. 
It points with pride to the articles and contributors which have ap¬ 
peared on its pages the past year. 
A special feature of Volume III, just completed, is the series of 
essays upon Science in Secondary Schools, papers by successful 
science teachers all over the country, written expressly for a prize of 
$50 offered last year by The Academy. 
A subscriber writes: “The science essays alone are worth double 
the price of a year’s subscription to The Academy.”
