The lib- erality oi this oert IS presumed will be as beraly responded 10 by Lose whom il was especially intsn- ded 10 benefit
 TIE following are deemed some of the adyan- tagcs 10 be gained by the use cf Wickhams School Diary being an aid 10 voluntary selt-inprovenent.
 IL has been found to be tue most saiutary whsU kept by the pupil under the inspections ol the In structor: and shouli be considered by each as MEANS and guide to mental and moral st- tainments. This Book is based upon the principli that the human mind is the most totfbiy impressed by conclusions drawn from comparisons: and it is given as BOOK of STANDARD from which parente.' and the pupil especially may draw correct conclhs ions. Results like the following nay be expected from its use ;-4
 l. It will habituate Me mind to have always before 1t high and perfect standard of aim and action: which Is invaluable in attaining an eddcation. and in prosecuting all the cmploynents of lite.
 g. IL will establish habits of self observation, and reflection and aWakens important trains of moral reasoning 3 IL will aid in cultivating the Con science, Memory, and dginent,--eleyating the character and aims of the Juvenile mind.
 T. ne value Oi PEHSONAL EFFOKT IS not OHlJ forcibly seea and JeH but habitual desire for 1t will be begotten. adording as it always does an increased power to perform, as well as all exalted pleasure.
 b It enables pupils to vlew themselves and their responsibilities ths light that others view them.' Their own understanding being the Judge, and each, his own recording angel.
 6. It will cultivate business habits, and skill in accounts.
 '. It will be valuable and pleasing record for Parents, begctting their cooperation vlih the Teacher and pupil
 s. It will reveal to the Teacher, by his careful observation, some of those improper traits' which may be seeking predoninance in the youthful mind.
 g. Il excites to cheerful and dgant study, serv- ing at the same time, powerful moral restraint.
 10 As 1t strongly prefgures the perfect record kept above oi all human actions, 1t may be nade means of deepening habltual sense of the truth and certainty oi that record by which all persons should be influenced in all they do.
 Fms Diary is supposed 10 possess superiority others in the following respects:
 l. It's most useful feature IS the classification of the standards presented-Sstosying side by side the "lArsonnts kequired,' "Amounts Gven," and Deficiency, well at the bottom, tine Totals"
 2. 1t IS explained throughout with important suggestions.
 :. It's lists of Studies, Sc. are Alphabetical
 {. A new mode is gwen by which scholars may voluntarily retrieve their deficiencies.
 D. MORAL CHARACTERISTICS arc piaceu most FoRcIBLY before inc mind: practically illustrating their nF ortauce in every day lie and transactions.
 6. At the close of the book blank form for the Teachers Report or s'Vaiedictory 'ioken.''
 T. It is so arranged that any variety of plans, which instructors may devise to meet the ex- agencies of their respective schools, can be carried out; as spaces given for entries with subdysioss that a more complete classification may beuaih- talned throughout
 l have examined the Educational Incentives ia- troduced by Mir. Wickham, and pnbllshest by him and Mi. A. Y. Blake oi New York, ard deem It my duty to do what may, in encouraging so laud- able eiort to facilitate the business of popular instruction, simplifying and ruitipying school requisites which contribute eminentiy to'the elevation and improvement of the Schools. Mir. Wickham has in my opinion, rendered signal service by devoting his time and attention to these minute details too often underated or overlooked, yet of great PRACTICAL VALUE to both teachers and scholars. lis entire series will be found to merit the approval of practical teachers, many of wlom in the ahseace o intelligent and siiiui supervision, are thrown upon their own resources and need the heps which MT. Wckhams experience and slSilf have here provided, for systematically and accu- raely preserving the records ofthe school Besides which his sfeaener's Book Of Instrumental es" will be found to combine numerous ingenious and useful devices, all Of which will be found useful in promoting mental and moral improvement.
