=A TEACHERS’ PAPER, FIRST OF ALL=, is our ideal. The editors want the advice and suggestions of their readers. The columns will be open at all times. Practical questions will be answered. It is hoped that teachers will see the opportunity of using the paper in many ways, not only in the purely professional field, but also as a clearing-house for personal wants. Even the advertising columns, with their reasonable rates, may be made the means of procuring desired books or magazines, of disposing of second-hand books and libraries, of procuring better positions, or of securing teachers for vacancies. =WILL YOU HELP IN THIS WORK?= We cannot succeed without the coöperation of our readers. Will you tell, through our paper, your experiences for the benefit of others? Will you seek, through our questions and answers, the advice which others may give you? Will you send to the departmental editors news items relating to their several subjects, particularly announcements of and accounts of association meetings? Will you keep us informed of changes in the personnel in the schools and colleges, and give notice of competitive examinations for history positions? The paper is our paper in a legal sense only. It really belongs to the history teachers of the country, and it is for them to put it to the full test of usefulness and service. =ARE YOUR FRIENDS SUBSCRIBING?= Do you know other teachers who would be benefited by the Magazine, or who would help in its work? Let us have their names and addresses and we shall be glad to send them sample copies. Letters respecting the editorial policy of the Magazine, news items, articles for publication, etc., should be addressed to the respective department editors, or to the Managing Editor, care of McKinley Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Letters relating to advertising, and to special subscription rates to agents, should be addressed to the Business Manager, History Teacher’s Magazine, Philadelphia, Pa. ADVERTISING RATES VERY REASONABLE. LIBERAL INDUCEMENTS TO AGENTS. * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: Footnotes have been moved to the end of each article and relabeled consecutively through the document.
