In the Graduate Schools

As an addition to the noteworthy list of University publications, the "Harvard Teachers Record" makes its initial appearance this week. This production of the Graduate School of Education, to be published quarterly, is not an entirely new venture in educational journalism for it was formerly issued as a season of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin and later as a supplement to it. The chief purpose will be that of keeping the alumni and friends of the school in touch with its ideas and activities, while one issue will be devoted mainly to the annual meeting of the Harvard Teachers Association.

According to the editor, nothing pretentious will be attempted. The chief aim will be to publish a small but attractive booklet with interesting and worth-while material. Judging from the first number, the bulletin should be of value to all interested in education, and sets a high standard to be followed.

Professor Charles Swain Thomas, Secretary of the Harvard Teachers Association, is the editor and Dean Henry Wyman Holmes will advise him in the capacity of Assistant Editor. It is hoped that the greater part of the articles will be contributed from members of the Alumni Association and the Harvard Teachers Association.

In the first number of the bulletin appear four articles of general educational matters, a more technical discussion on a phase of elementary school programs, and an alumni section, with material concerning the School of Education and its graduates. The whole, totaling a modest forty pages, is bound in dark brown paper with a simple but attractive front. It will be sent to all alumni of the school, and to others at a rate of two dollars a year.
