In my desire to give to each number of the Journal for 1880 the usual variety of topics of permanent value, and at the same time to treat the Kindergarten and Child-Culture with the fulness promised in the opening article for the year, I shall with the issue for this quarter have extended the volume beyond the average size of other annual volumes, and with the Index to at least 128 pages beyond the number promised in the Terms for the year. I find also that some of the articles destined for the volume of "Kindergarten Papers" will not be ready for publication within the year. I have, therefore, concluded to carry these and other papers into the Numbers which will be issued in 1881 on the same conditions as in 1880-except that the first Number (for March) will be sent to all subscribers for 1880 without charge, and to all subscribers for 1880 and 1881 on the payment of $6 for the two years, or $2 additional to the payment made for 1880.
HARTFORD, September 15, 1880.
