NOTE was made last month to the effect that Prof. A. W. Spaulding had severed his connection with Bethel Academy, with the intention of taking up school work in the South. These plans have since been changed and Professor Spaulding will continue his work as principal of Bethel Academy.
The special attention of parents and teachers is again called to the “Church-School Manual” recently issued by the Pacific Press Publishing Company. It can be obtained from all our tract societies, and should be in the hands of every one who has to do with the training of children. Most valuable suggestions are made as to courses of study, text-books, methods of teaching, etc., and many questions which perplex teachers and parents in the education of their children are here answered.
Mention has been made in recent REVIEWS of several new text-books in preparation. They are: “A New United States History,” by Prof. F. S. Bunch. This can be obtained of Prof. M. E. Cady, of College Place, Wash. “A New Course in Music,” by Prof. Gerard Gerritsen. This can be obtained from the author at Room 670, 324 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. “Lessons on Daniel and the Revelation,” by Prof. H. A. Washburn. This can be obtained by addressing the author at Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash. We would most earnestly urge our teachers to secure these books, and use them this year. They are being brought out at the suggestion of the Department of Education, and are presented for this year’s work in tentative form. It is earnestly desired that the teachers shall co-operate with the authors and with the Department of Education in a critical examination of these manuscripts in actual class work; and that they will freely express their criticisms to the author in order that such changes may be made in the manuscript as will make it a durable and valuable text if the works are adopted by the Department of Education, and brought out in permanent form. Our teachers can not have it too strongly impressed upon them that one of the greatest needs is a good series of text-books.
