A Partial List of Contributors

For 1903-1904

It affords us great pleasure to announce that our readers will be favored with some articles by the following persons:

DR. D. W. DENNIS, of Earlham College, who is recognized as one of the ablest Instructors in either the class-room or Teachers' Institute, has entered into a contract with us for several articles.

MISS ADELAIDE STEELE BAYLOR, Superintendent-elect of the Wabash Schools, will prepare for us a series of articles upon the teaching of history. She is regarded as one of the most efficient teachers in Indians, having given special attention to history as student in leading universities and as Principal of the Wabash high school. She is very popular as an Institute instructor.

PROF. W. A. MACBETH, PH. B., of the Indiana State Normal and author of the supplement in the Indiana Edition of Frye's Advanced Geography, will prepare for us twelve articles upon the subject of geography. beginning with our June number. These contributions alone will be worth many times the price of our Journal, and it is certain that they will be studied by every thoughtful teacher of the subject in Indians. The efficiency of Prof. Macbeth as teacher, Institute instructor, or writer needs no praise from us. He is thoroughly conscientious, and his able and practical articles will be highly appreciated by thousands of teachers and students.

PROF. ARTHUR W. DUNN, A. M., who has charge of American History and Geography in the Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, will discuss methods of presenting these subjects to pupils in the public schools. His special course in History and Sociology in the University of Chicago and his successful experience as teacher and Institute instructor qualify him for writing articles which will prove most acceptable to our readers. County Superintendent Geo. W. Ellis, Goshen, Ind., says: "At our county Institute last week, the work of Mr. Arthur W. Dunn was of an exceedingly high character, both as to the subject matter and methods of presentation."

DR. ROBERT J. ALEY, Professor of Mathematics in Indiana University, will continue as editor of our Mathematical Department, beginning with our September issue as the schools generally will open in that month. The fact that he has been selected as one of the authors for the revision of the Cook-Cropsey Arithmetics for the public schools of Indiana, is conclusive evidence of his standing with the Indiana State Board of Education. He is a member of the Indiana Reading Circle B ard, and his services are in strong demand as Institute instructor.

GEO. W. NEET, Professor of Pedagogy in Valparaiso College and the Northern Indiana Normal, will favor us with a few articles. He is not only an able and practical teacher, but an author.

W. D. HOWE, A. M., PH. D., Professor of English Literature in Butler College, will contribute a series of articles upon the teaching of American and English Literature for the benefit of the teachers in the public schools. These articles will be intensely practical, and will be highly appreciated. Dr. Howe is a graduate of Harvard University.

PROF. L. M. SNIFF, President of Tri-State Normal College, will continue to favor our readers with some very practical suggestions. His services as an Institute instructor are in demand in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

DR. HOWARD SANDISON, Professor of Pedagogy and Psychology in the Indiana State Normal will continue his very able discussions, beginning with our September number, of "Psychologic Foundations of Education." The County and City Superintendents who have given special attention to these articles in their teachers' meetings commend them very highly. Dr. Wm. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, holds Prof. Sandison in high esteem, and is particularly pleased with his articles which have appeared in The Educator-Journal.

A. R. CHARMAN, Assistant Professor of Pedagogy in the Indiana State Normal, will contribute also. He has the confidence of Dr. Sandison, and has been very successful in his professional work.

DR. A.J. KINNAMAN, President of Central Normal College, and one of the most popular Institute instructors, will interest our readers with some articles which will prove most helpful. Because of his abilty as student and instructor he has received recognition among prominent educators in both the East and West.

THE EDUCATOR-JOURNAL CO.,

for The Educator-Journal

The various articles contributed by PROF J. H. TOMLIN, Superintendent of the Shelbyville schools, have been received most favorably, and he will write others for us. He is a member of the Indiana Reading Circle Board and Trustee of the Indiana State Normal.

PROF. JOHN A. WOOD, Superintendent of Laporte schools, and other leading and able City Superintendents will continue to inspire and help the teachers through the medium of The Educator Journal. County Superintendents will contribute also. Our readers shall have the benefit of the best thoughts and sentiments in educational circles. They are clearly entitled to such, and we fully expect to deserve the confidence and patronage of progressive teachers. The extensive circulation of our Journal in Indiana and many other States is conclusive evidence of its superior merits. It commands the respect of the teachers in both county and city schools, and it will continue to use its influence for better wages and more certain tenures. We could publish hundreds of letters commending our efforts in behalf of the teachers, but have not the space in our columns for them. The following strong endorsement, however, reflects the sentiment of County and City Superintendents and their teachers: "Jasper, Ind., May 1, 1903.

"Teachers in Indiana will find no better friend and Journal than The Educator-Journal
published at Indianapolis. For years it has voiced the sentiments of school officials and
teachers, while other papers have come and gone. Its articles are clear, up-to-date, practical,
professional and reasonable. Its departments are well sustained, and its material and work-
manship are the best the arts afford.
GEO. R WILSON, Supt.
"Dubois County Schools."

MR. WILLIAM WATSON WOOLLEN of Indianapolis and President of the Indiana Audobon Society and PROF. GLENN CULBERTSON of Hanover College will prepare some very interesting articles upon the subjects of birds and nature study. The former has spent many years in advocating legislation for the protection of birds and his influence has been felt throughout Indiana. His views upon the planting of trees and the decoration of school yards are very practical.

We have arranged with PROF. JONATHAN RIGDON, author of Grammar of the English Sentence, for a series of practical articles containing much valuable material for language lessons; also important discussions of technical points in grammar. Teachers of the subject will be delighted with these discussions as they will prove most helpful. The ability of Prof. Rigdon, and his success as a teacher in Central Normal College are recognized by all who have observed his professional work as teacher or Institute instructor.

A Primary Department

For the benefit of teachers in the first, second and third grades we have decided to add a Primary Department. We shall receive from some of the most successful primary teachers model lessons in language, number work, etc., for the benefit of our readers. This department alone will secure for us hundreds of subscriptions.

Reasons for the Success of The Educator-Journal

(1) In mechanical appearance it surpasses any other educational journal in the United States. The text is printed in double columns on a good quality of paper and compares very favorably with the leading magazines in the East.

(2) County and City Superintendents and their teachers appreciate the fact that it is mailed so promptly the first of each month, and when it is received it is found to be interesting throughout. It is an inspiration to the earnest teacher, and particularly to those who are beginning their work as teachers.

(3) Teachers like the Journal because it contains valuable contributions from so many able and practical Institute instructors and successful teachers.

(4) The Educator-Journal is recognized as the organ of the Indiana State Teachers' Association, and it is the only Journal in Indiana, which is a member of the Educational Press Association of America.

(5) Teachers are pleased with our policy of notifying them of the expiration of their subscriptions. We feel that we have no right to continue to send our Journal to teachers without their consent. They realize also that we are perfectly willing and ready to make corrections whenever errors are reported and verified. (6) For the benefit of the teachers in their Township Institutes, we shall publish valuable articles upon "Ivanhoe" and Nicolay's "Life of Lincoln." The former will be discussed by Supt. Wm. H. Wiley of the Terre Haute schools, and the latter by Supt. C. F. Patterson of the Edinburg Schools.

THE EDUCATOR-JOURNAL

PREMIUM OFFER

for both New and Old Subscribers

HE WORK ILLUSTRATED ON OPPOSITE PAGE is a book of 100 pages, size 7% x 10 inches, bound in old English Bristol, with an elegant design on front cover. The book contains 60 graded lessons, each lesson containing a thorough check-system for self-instruction," which requires two pages of foolscap writing. It is a college course and also arranged for correspondence purposes. In addition to 60 lessons there are fine script business forms by expert penmen, proverbs, aphorisms, composition exercises and a chapter on social and business correspondence which contains 100 of the choicest letters. The arrangement is admirable and we do not see how anyone can fail to acquire a good handwriting if the instructions contained in this book are carefully followed.

Difficulty in Teaching Penmanship in the Country
Schools Especially

To assist the teachers in both the city and country schools we have secured a special price upon above named work, and take pleasure in offering it and one year's subscription for the Educator-Journal for $1.35. Cash must accompany each order as we can not accept time subscriptions in connection with this very liberal premium offer. The regular price of this Guide to Penmanship is $1.00; hence several thousand teachers will most probably take advantage of our offer. Teachers in the grades are so burdened with work that many of them have found it exceedingly difficult to teach penmanship especially.

New subscriptions should begin at once.
