REMITTANCES Checks, drafts and money orders should be made payable to the order of the Primary Education Company. As an acknowledgment of your remittance the date on the label of the first or second paper you receive after you remit will be changed. CHANGE OF ADDRESS When sending new address, always be sure to give the old address to which the paper has been sent. This is important, as subscription lists are classified by cities and towns, and your name alone is not sufficient data to enable us to discontinue the copy going to your old address. SAMPLE COPIES The Pulp and Paper Section of the War Industries Board in the interest of conservation of paper has asked publishers to eliminate the giving of free sample copies. Prospective subscribers, therefore, must remit twenty-five cents for each copy. A current number will be sent as a sample. PRIMARY EDUCATION LATE? We aim to have PRIMARY EDUCATION printed and placed in the mails between Read the suggestions in the column to the left, and DAILY LESSON PLANS IN 244 pages. Price, 50 cents. These Lesson Plans consist of weekly outlines arranged by months from September to June - for the first four years of school. They assemble an unusual number of appropriate verses and little stories, all chosen with reference to their literary merit as well as to their genuine interest for children. The teacher who follows these lessons closely, week by week, will find not only her English lessons arranged for her, but also plans for dramatizing the material used. Correlated with the English Lessons are Reading, Nature Study and Games. The book is especially adapted to the use of rural teachers, but no progressive teacher of first to fourth year children should be without a copy. LESSON PLANS IN ARITHMETIC 256 pages. Price, 50 cents A needed book. It is a guide in number work and arithmetic, and supplies much drill on the tables, the lack of which leaves children inaccurate and inefficient in arithmetic. Teachers wish for new devices on short notice. This book on your desk will be a constant source of recreation and inspiration. LANGUAGE GAMES Price, 50 cents. Miss Myra King's little book of Language Games seems to me to be an admirable means to the end of forming correct habits of speech. The words of a game which one has played repeatedly in his youth are not apt to slip away from him. Just so the habitual mistakes are by means of these games repeated and repeated in correct form so successfully in the heat and enthusiasm of the game that the correct form will keep coming up as long as one lives. I know of no better way to impress these necessary lessons than this. E. C. MOORE, Superintendent of Schools, Los Angeles, Cal. TALES OUT OF SCHOOL Illustrated. 128 pages. Price, 40 cents, It should be the work of both the school and the home to encourage and protect the child's natural hopefulness in every possible way. One of the strongest aids in accomplishing this purpose is a generous use of carefully selected stories which, while of absorbing interest to the child, shall present to his eager, receptive and easily-molded thought, ethical lessons of lasting benefit. It is with the hope that they will prove helpful to children and to those entrusted with their education and progress that these stories are published. PATION WORK Three Volumes. Price, 50 cents each. Vol. I- First Term -For September, October, November and December. Vol. II- Second Term-For January, February and March. Vol. III-Third Term- For April, May and June. The author in this work carries the spirit of the kindergarten into the daily program, bringing primary teacher and kindergarten into intelligent co-operation. Of utmost importance is the systematic use of "gifts" materials in the primary and the sequences must be carefully worked out to develop number, form, rhythm, balance, color, harmonies and illustrative work.
