Readers of the _Atlantic_ will recall the stimulating articles on
_History_, _Geography_, and _The School Shop_, by Edward Yeomans, a
Chicago manufacturer. To these he has added other papers, dealing in a
liberal spirit with various aspects of American education. They are
certain to arouse wide and fruitful discussion.

ATLANTIC READINGS
Teachers everywhere are cordially welcoming our series of _Atlantic
Readings_; for material not otherwise available is here published for
classroom use in convenient and inexpensive form. In most cases the
selections reprinted have been suggested by teachers in schools and
colleges where a need for a particular essay or story has been urgently
felt. Supplied for one institution, the reprint has created an immediate
market elsewhere.
The Atlantic Monthly Press most warmly invites conference and
correspondence that will suggest additions to this growing list. It is of
course apparent from the titles below that the material is chosen only in
part from the files of the _Atlantic Monthly_.
