The Educational Section of the Review

By Editor

At the educational convention held at College View two years ago, it was voted to publish the Educational section in the REVIEW, once each month, taking eight pages, instead of two a week, as had been the former custom. In considering the matter of the Educational section at the principals’ meeting at Cleveland, Ohio, it was the unanimous opinion of those present that it would be better to return to two pages each week than to continue the custom of eight pages a month. We find, however, in conferring with the publishers of the REVIEW AND HERALD, that during these two years so many other departments of the General Conference have taken up the use of the REVIEW, that it will be impossible to give two pages regularly each week to the Department of Education; accordingly, it will be necessary to have this educational matter printed eight pages each month, as we have been doing since the convention at College View.
We are very anxious to make the Educational section of the REVIEW more valuable than ever during this coming year. Arrangements have been made with Mrs. E. M. Long by which she will furnish a series of articles on manual training. These articles will be illustrated and will give an outline course, and offer suggestions for the teaching of manual training in our primary schools. We believe that our primary teachers everywhere will find these articles of great value.
We are also promised a series of articles upon reading, from Miss Katherine B. Hale. Miss Hale is one of the authors of the “True Education” reading series, and her articles are sure to be highly appreciated. We also plan to have special articles of a practical nature upon all other lines of our primary work, such as geography, teaching, etc., which will be of great value to our teachers.
But to make this section of the REVIEW the most valuable, our teachers should be free to write concerning any phase of their work in which they have had special success. We can make the Educational section of great value to all phases of our school work only when all make an effort to fill it with valuable matter and helpful suggestions.
