BIT GEORGE r. WILSON, COUNTY sur'7
INDIANAPOLIS, March 8, 1894.
= The County Superintendent:

>sy ooPVssotCuo0uLs
The very encouraging reports Of the
work OF the Reading Circles for the
current year prompt us to advise you
thus early Of our plans for the coming
year. 1t 10 believed that no more i'm.
portant educational factor exists. ana
none more helpful In elevating the
profession OF the teacher than the
Reading Circles.
The course for the Teachers Circle
will consist OF two lines,- the profes.
siOnsl and general culture. For the
professional books the Board has
adopted Tompkins' Philosophy OF
Tesching, In . modified form. For
the general culture line the Board is
having made for the special use of the
Indiana Reading Circle an edition OF
the best Of Rusk in's ethical essays, TO
be edited by Mrs. l.. G Hufford of the
indianapolis High School. This will
be most attractive book both in text
and mechanical make up.
All the conditions in the distribu.
tion Of the books will be the same %
those Of last year. Both books are
published by Ginu & Co., OF Chicago.
The prices to teachers are: Tomp.
kins' Philosophy Of Teaching. 60 cents.
Ruskin's Essays. IS cents. All books
are 10 be sent prepaid.
An unusually attractive course OF
reading has been adopted for the
Young Peoples Reading Circle, con.
corning which full details will be
furnished you at On early date.
The plan adopted by the Board for
the distribution OF the books for the
current year has proven very unsatis.
factory. II has, therefore, been decid-
ed TO open in indianapolis . central
depot Of supplies, from which teach
ers and school officers may be able
promptly to secure the books when
ordered. The Board considers itself
exceedingly fortunate in being able to
secure the services OF Mr.. w. II. FL
son for the management Of this cen
rasl depot This fact has made nee
essary the resignation OF Mr.. Elsou 90
president and as . member OF the
Circle Board Of Directors.
We believe that much good will
come to the Circle through the estab-
|ishment Of . central Office In Iudisn-
Ipolis, where oil the books Of the Cir.
Gle may be obtained.
Confidently anticipating . prosper
ous year,
We are, very respectfully yours,
L. II. Jones, President,
w. H. Glsscock, Secretary.
