A Talk on School Management.

To Principals and Superintendents :

How do you keep track of the progress made by your teachers? Are you sure that they outline lessons in advance or that they keep any record of what their classes have accomplished?

PERHAPS when you visit their schools you ask them to tell what has been taught ? Isn't their oral report extremely wordy? Can you write it in your note-book? Can you remember it? Can you afford the time to hear it? PERHAPS you require teachers to send to your office weekly or monthly reports stating what ground has been covered ? Aren't such loose-leaf reports hard to care for? Are they ever in the schoolroom when wanted unless you carry a bale of them about with you? PERHAPS you have tried some daily plan book? If so, didn't you notice that the entries in these soon degenerated into perfunctory notes-mostly page numbers of text-books? PERHAPS, disgusted with inconvenient records and incomplete plans, you dropped the plan book entirely and let matters drift as before.

To satisfy your need for a progress record and to insure some planning of lessons, a book has been devised that is really practical, one that teachers will not object to keeping and one that you will find indispensable in your work of supervision. This is the DAkin weeKLY PLAN BOOK. Only one copy per year for each teacher is needed to insure a complete record. Please note below five important features of this book. It has been tried out under the severest conditions. On using it you will discover many other points in its favor that are not enumerated here.

1. The weekly plan unit involves a minimum amount of work on the part of teachers. Planning lessons in units of one week enables teachers to plot out systematic, progressive lessons that can be finished in the time allotted. Daily plans are scrappy because the unit of time chosen is too small for complete work.

2. The suggestive topics at the head of each column in the plan book insure attention to some of the essential points in proper preparation of lessons.

3. Showing the outline of work, as it does, always several days in advance, a supervisor can know what teachers are about to do in time to criticize and correct the assignment before it has been executed, not afterwards as with the usual plan book—an obvious advantage.

4. The scheme for requiring teachers to scan the entire course of study before beginning the year's work-see first six pages of book-is the only way to insure comprehensive teaching with equal stress on all portions throughout the year. Under this method there will be no hurrying to catch up at the close of term, and no marking time because work has been covered too soon. If this feature seems impractical for young teachers it may be omitted without in any way interfering with the use of rest of book as intended.

5. The back of every page is purposely left blank so that teachers can paste in clippings from educational papers, notes, etc., thus making each completed book a source of reference and aid to future teaching worth preserving. The price of DAKIN'S WEEKLY PLAN BOOK is 40 cents, postpaid.

THIS MARVELOUS WORK is revolutionizing modern thought. It's turning upside down old notions and ideas. It gives the authoritative, rock-bottom sources of our knowledge on ALL SUBJECTS OF HUMAN INTEREST from

the earliest civilization down to today-the inside facts which the average person has never even heard of.

OVER 100 RESEARCH SPECIALISTS spent 10 years gathering the contents of this great work.
Ancient and remote and forgotten civilizations in all parts of the globe were uncovered, and age-
buried hieroglyphics on monuments, tablets, sun-baked bricks and palimpsests yielded their
secrets; untiring workers ransacked the hidden literature of every age, ancient, medieval and
modern, to find the "original documents" that shaped the civilizations and influenced the
thought and life of the world. Nothing like it has ever been attempted or thought of
before. You'll be amazed at the wealth of information this unique library contains.
DO YOU KNOW that the old Egyptians, 5000 years B. C., had a Bible which they
called the "Book of the Dead''? Do you know that the Assyrian sacred literature
gives the story of the Creation? Do you know that books and newspapers were
printed in Asia thousands of years before printing was invented by Gutenberg ?
Did YOU ever read Columbus' personal lng of his great voyage-filed with
strange happenings and ominous forebodings? Do you know that there oc-
curred in Medieval England a great Socialistic protest-the first of its kind
ever known? Do you know by what unique process Harvey demon-
strated that the blood does not stand still in the veins, as everyone
then thought? Do you know who Machiavelli was, or what world
famous treatise he wrote?

YOU'LL FIND THEM ALL-and thousands of others equally
as curious and important-in The Lib ary of Original Sources.
Every document is in the exact words of the original,
translated; every contribution is from the actual eye-
witness or person who took part; every idea is in
the words of the thinker, investigator, discoverer or
inventor.

JACK LONDON SAYS:-" It is a whole library in itself. I certainly never could spare these books from my shelves."

10 sumptuous, massive volumes, bound in Imported India Sheepskin; full page illustrations, pure silk head bands, printed in large, clear type on handmade paper, gold tops a veritable triumph of the bookmaker's art.
