ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE FORTNIGHTLY

INDEX.

AN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL OF LIBERAL EDUCATION.

A plan has long been in contemplation to establish at Ann Arbor, the seat of the University
of Michigan, a journal of high character, that should reflect the maturest thought on educational,
literary, scientific, artistic, political and historical questions of current interest. The presence
and the influence of this great center of learning seemed to afford unusual facilities for carrying
forward such an enterprise; and it was felt that an institution of so great influence in moulding
the education of the West should have some recognized medium of communication with the
leading teachers and scholars of the country. Through a series of steps not necessary here to
describe, the fortnightly INDEX, now about to enter upon its third year, finds itself in a position
to undertake the mission just indicated; and the attention of the educational public is invited
to the announcement we now have to make.

By an arrangement recently completed with Professors Alexander Winchell, Charles K.
Adams and William H. Payne, of the University of Michigan, these gentlemen have been added
to the editorial staff of the INDEX; and the paper will be conducted hereafter in accordance
with the following general plan:

I. ALEXANDER WINCHELL, LL.D., Professor of Geology and Palæontology, will take in
charge the department of Science and Arts, and by way of editorials, notes and leading articles
will present regularly a careful digest of whatever is most valuable in these important domains
of knowledge. There is a growing recognition of the value of science in all schemes of public
education; and Dr. Winchell will discuss the various phases of scientific intelligence and

instruction.

II. CHARLES K. ADAMS, LL.D., Professor of History, and Dean of the School of Polit-
ical Science, will write upon current affairs and upon such Historical themes as bear on matters
of present political and educational importance. He will also discuss another class of subjects
now assuming a deserved prominence-the training of the young for the duties of citizenship
through suitable instruction in Political Science; and the need of diffusing among the people
at large correct ideas on governmental and municipal administration.

III.-WILLIAM H. PAYNE, A.M., Professor of the Science and the Art of Teaching, will
discuss the subject of Education in its three phases, the practical, the scientific and the histor-
ical. The treatment of these themes will be catholic and impartial. The purpose will be to
expound the rational elements in scholastic questions, and to ally the methods of the school-
room with common sense as well as with philosophy.

IV. The LITERARY DEPARTMENT, remaining in the same hands as heretofore, will
continue to maintain a high standard of excellence. A trustworthy record of the latest pub-
lications will be presented, and a series of leading essays and short poems of merit will be
made prominent features.

V.-The DEPARTMENT OF CRITICISM will be conducted in a spirit of judicial independ-
ence. Exhaustive review articles, and extended notices of important works and events of the
realm of Art, written by specialists in their several lines, will express the critical judgments of
men qualified to form an unbiased opinion.

VI.—LETTERS FROM FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS will contain intelligence of progress in
different parts of the world. We shall allow our home correspondents ample space for the
discussion of all questions that fall within the compass of an educational and literary journal.
VII.-The INDEX will be issued fortnightly, the subscription price remaining as before-
$2.00 per year, prepaid. The publishers are encouraged to solicit subscribers among all
persons interested in the maintenance of an independent journal of liberal education such as
the INDEX, upon the broad plan here outlined, aims to be. For the present all subscriptions
may be sent directly to the

INDEX PUBLISHING HOUSE, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

BOO IS

"We have not only read these books with delight and studied them with profit in the seclusion of the library, but we have traveled with them and by them on the sea and land. At every point they meet you with just the facts you wish to know; they repeat to you the old legend associated with the locality; they tell you the story of the battle fought there; they hum to you the song, or murmur the lines in which some poet has enshrined events by which a spot has become memorable. A condensed literature of great variety and richness is stored up within their pages. They are simply indispensable to tourists in the regions named, and those who have sallied forth without them have omitted really the most important part of their equipment."-Literary World.

"Osgood's Hand-book to New England' bids fair, in New England, to rival the fame of Murray and Bædeker abroad.

It is prepared with great care and thoroughness, and is the best American guide-book that has yet appeared."-The Independent. "It is about as nearly faultless as such a book can be,--carefully edited, beautifully printed, and neatly bound. There is not a page too much or too little; and its red cover, clean typography, and convenient size recall the masterpieces of Bædeker."-New York Tribune.

THE MARITIME PROVINCES.

A Guide to Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, New Brunswick, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, etc. With Eight Maps. Newly Revised.

NEW YORK CITY.

Mrs. Sylvanus Reed's Boarding and Day School for Young Ladies,

Nos. 6 and 8 East 53d Street (Central Park), between Madison and 5th Avenues.

The success and reputation of this school for twenty years is due, with God's blessing, to its own merits and to that "Eternal vigilance which is the price of safety." It is supported by that class of citizens who demand and appreciate the best educational advantages and fidelity to the true interest of their children.

Each year brings it nearer to the idea of its founder, and it has lately been relieved from the peril of depending for existence upon the tenure of a single life. The standard of the Collegiate Department for the coming year has been materially raised. While the class-rooms are in charge of ladies as heretofore, the staff of instructors has been greatly reinforced by professional talent, men of distinction in the respective branches assigned to them.

DR. LABBERTON will give his time exclusively to class instruction in this school in the Departments of History and Historical Literature.

DR. WILLIAM H. CARPENTER, of Columbia College, will have charge of English Grammar, Rhetoric, Critical Literature, Composition and Philology.

Classes in Popular and Mathematical Astronomy in charge of PROFESSOR REES, of Columbia Observatory, and Miss EDGERTON. Physics and Chemistry, PROFESSOR BOWEN, of School of Mines. Art, PROFESSOR GOODYEAR. Latin, French, German, Mathematics, Psychology and Logic will be in charge of the same able teachers as heretofore. MRS. REED will be aided in the Boarding Department by ladies of scholarly attainments, refinement and experience, enabling her to give more of her own time to her class-rooms. Resident teachers speak the French and German languages with purity.

Pupils prepared for examinations of any class in Columbia or other colleges.

Special students are admitted to any or all of the courses without examination.

The Primary and Preparatory Departments will be continued under the same teachers. The twenty-first school year begins October 1, 1884.
