SCROOLAD FAMILY) ISSUED ON THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH, AT $1.00 PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE. THE HE Publishers are happy to announce that they have secured the services of a gentleman of distinguished ability, to take Editorial charge of the AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL MONTHLY. The gentleman alluded to is widely known as one of the leading Educators in the country. His broad and philosophic views, with his skill and energy as a writer, give the utmost assurance that the design of this Journal will be efficiently and successfully carried out; and that it will be welcomed to the homes and hearts of many thousands of appreciative readers. We have made arrangements to begin in an early issue the publication of a paper on the "Physical Geography and Productions of the United States," by Prof. Guyot, of the College of New Jersey. This paper will be illustrated in successive numbers of the Monthly by two beautiful colored miniature maps, prepared and furnished for the purpose by the eminent publisher of Prof. G.'s works. In our April number we shall present the first part of an educational serial, by one of the most popular writers of the day, the design of which will be to expose the defects which mar, as well as the excellencies which dignify and adorn, the administration of our American schools. This publication will be continued probably through. the year, in the hope of arresting the attention of a class of readers who do not usually interest themselves in the workings of our educational system. This number of the AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL MONTHLY will be sent to many persons who are not subscribers. The Publishers respectfully invite all who may receive it to give due consideration to its merits, and to become regular subscribers. No expense will be spared to make it a first-class Educational and Literary Journal. The Publishers are determined that every live Educator shall esteem it far above the price of subscription. Those whose terms of subscription to the Educational Herald and Teachers Bulletin (G. S. Woodman & Co.) have not yet expired, will be entitled to the AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL MONTHLY, for the balance of time for which the former paper was due. The "EDUCATIONAL DIRECTORY," begun some time ago, now contains about 75,000 names. For these we are greatly indebted to our many kind friends and correspondents. But in many localities our lists are incomplete. Hence we beg all who may read this notice to send us the names of all the Teachers in their region. The names in full, with full P. O. address, should be distinctly written. Also indicate the rank of each Teacher, whether Principal or Assistant-whether in Public or Private School. Superintendents' Reports, Catalogues, and all documents containing lists of names and educational items, will be very acceptable. The names of Trustees, School Officers, and of all persons who are interested in the cause of education, will be valuable to us, and we shall be glad to receive them. When completed, this Directory will prove invaluable to Teachers and to all who are interested in Teachers. We shall highly appreciate the aid which may be given us in compiling this great work.
