Our Educational Magazine for September-October

By W. E. HOWELL.

As announced on the second page of last week’s REVIEW, the special theme of the next number of Christian Education will be “Start Right.” This idea is made broad enough to include students, teachers, managers, and parents; and includes a brief presentation of how the first American boarding-school, founded on the same general principles as our colleges and academies, was started more than seventy years ago.

Another strong feature of this number is “The Convention.” Under this divisional head are found: (1) “Let Us Keep Our Resolutions,” containing for the first time in print, a classified selection from the actions taken at the June educational convention, of such as ought to be kept specially in mind in beginning the work of the new school year; (2) “The Elementary Course of Study.” In this number of the journal it is proposed by the editors to have a “protracted convention,” with this magazine as the organ of discussion. The foregoing article introduces the first new topic for consideration.

One other new feature appears in this number,—“Books and Magazines.” Its purpose is to give brief reviews of new and valuable books of educational interest, and short notices of important articles of the same character in current magazines.

The contents of the “Primary School” and the “Home School” departments, are of their usual excellence.

Our Alps edition of ten thousand copies was all sold eight days before the date it bore expired. We believe the forthcoming number will not fall behind that one in excellence for the purpose intended. We are now ready to fill orders, and urge upon all who are interested in education to do all they can to aid in raising our subscription list to the point where the usefulness of the journal may be greatly increased by its issuance ten times a year instead of six, as was requested by the delegates at our recent convention.
