    I should liko 50 copies.—W. D. Burdett, Chairman School Board, Marlboro’, Macs. Cannot you send mo one or two dozen copies for the use of teachers ?— C. E. Clark, County Superintendent, Granite Falls, Minn. Can you send me a few copies ? I can use them in places whoro they will be pro- ductive of good.—J. W. Simmons, Principal of Schools, Otsego, Mich. They aro the best information I ever saw printed for school teachers.— Wiley Whitley, Jr., County Superintendent, Ooila, Ga. The foregoing citations respecting these three publications of the office are, perhaps, enough to show the estimation in which they have been held by the officials, educators, and scholarly men who have received and used them. Those which follow refer to other publications of the office: I have received the report for 1879. It is well arranged and is invaluable to school officers in Texas, where we are maturing a school system, and where the masses have yet to be educated to it.—J. K. Milans, County Judge, Sulphur Spring, Tex. I am very glad to receive your reports. They are of much value for reference in connection with my school work.— E. B. Fairfield, Jr., Superintendent of Public Schools, Tccumseh, Mich. The report will be of great use to teachers and school officers.— W. A. Sutton, Principal Public Schools, Cabot, Ark. These reports are great means of disseminating educational light; just such as the educator and the statesman need to aid them in maturing systems and educational work.— J. S. Smiley, County Superintendent, Nantahalah, N. C. I find a large amount of statistical matter that will be useful and instructive to me, and such as I have not been able to get elsewhere.— W. R. Davis, School Commis- sioner, Cumberland County, Kentucky. I present some points discussed in these circulars before our County Teachers’ Asso- ciation to-day.— Charles G. Robertson, School Superintendent, Hillsdale, Mich. These documents are full of thought and practical suggestions and would, if read, and followed by teachers and managers of schools, do much to increase the efficacy of our work. The people of this section need plain instruction and pointed suggestion such as these contain.— A. L. Bingham, Teacher, East Saginaw, Mich. This report is a very desirable one for our public school library. Many of onx teachers have already examined it and express themselves well pleased with its ar- rangement and valuable contents. These reports are doing very much for the educa- i tional advancement of our country, and we feel under special obligations for valuable suggestions that we have made practical in our school.— Samuel H. Doyal, Secretary i School Board, Frankfort, Ind. The circular of information on the teaching of chemistry and physics will be of great i value to me.— G. H. Failyer, State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Earn. If the volume were more generally read and understood by educators, our standard. j would be raised; and if education in the Southern States were somewhat aided by the General Government, ignorance and sectional strife would surely begin to dis- ( appear.— 0. J. Marshall, Township Clerk, Waukee, Iowa. f The report is what every person interested in educational matters should have for t reference as to thoir growth and progress in the country.— Lyman L. Payne, Teacher, j, Morrisville, N. Y. i I have examined the report for 1879, and find in it much valuablo information for teachers, which cannot well be procured from any other source; it is just what I * j have been wanting for some time.—Chas. L. Ebaugh, Principal Northwest Formal ^ School, Oregon, Mo. tj In one of tho circulars obtained from you I found such ideas as to force me to ex- . amino my rooms, when I found the scats so arranged that the scholars faced a strong - light. I had tho eyes of tho pupils examined and found many cases of short sight. J II. L. Meyer, Annvillc, Pa.
