=HAS THE EVENT JUSTIFIED THIS BELIEF?= The subscribers to the paper have answered the question in no uncertain language. Extracts from a few congratulatory letters have been published in the last three numbers of the Magazine; many more have been received, which it has been impossible to print, or even to answer in all cases. The subscription lists of the Magazine have grown rapidly, until to-day the circulation of the paper is larger than that of educational magazines of many years’ standing. It is safe to say that no pedagogical paper has been received so warmly, and from the outset been supported so loyally as has THE HISTORY TEACHER’S MAGAZINE. Founded by private enterprise, with a prospect, said many advisers, of ultimate failure, its success to-day is assured. =HAS THE PAPER BEEN AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD BE?= Of course not. Four months of labor has educated the editors more than their product has benefited the subscribers. They have seen their mistakes, they have found fields of usefulness which they did not know existed when their plans were first laid. It was not flattery, but a failure to appreciate the widening field of the Magazine, which led a friend to caution the editors about a recent number, saying “You have made it too good; you cannot maintain the standard you have established.” The reply was that we had not yet reached our ideal and that we had faith enough in the future to believe we could at least equal what had already been done. It may be said frankly, however, that whatever other defects the paper may have shown, it has not been padded; the articles printed have been pithy, practical presentations of the best thought of the profession. =FUTURE NUMBERS OF THE PAPER= will contain articles of the same practical character, together with many additional features. It is hoped to make it the forum for the discussion of current professional problems. There will be round-table papers upon college and school questions. College subjects to be so treated will be: the best course for the freshman year; the place of American history in undergraduate work; a college course in current topics; seminar methods, etc. Among school questions there will be: the relation of the school to the college; changes in the report of the Committee of Seven; the effect of the report of the Committee of Eight upon the elementary schools; civics and current topics in the schools; entrance examinations, etc. Among articles of interest to all teachers of history will be papers upon the use of maps, of lantern slides, of syllabi, and of other aids to the visualization of history. Current events will be summarized; public documents reviewed and valued; history meetings chronicled, and new books criticized.
