The Educational Monthly
The January issue of the Educa
tional Monthly comes from the press
In the netx two or three lays. Most
cf the subscribers of this magazine
will get their copies about Christmas.
This is the first number of the sec
ond volume of the Monthly and is
larger in size than any of the pre
ceding issues. The magazine is print
ed in the nsual attractive form and
contains 62 pages exclusive of the
cover. There are some 20 pages of
advertising, both local and national.
The growth of this magazine has
been phenomenal and Athens should
he proud to have been the home of
so prosperous a publication. With
the January issue the Educational
Monthly becomes the organ of the
Southern Conference for Education
and Industry. This increases the cir
culation of this paper very material
ly. With the February issue it is ex
pected that the magazine will also
become an organ of the Southern
Sociological Congress and the Social
Workers of Dr. Weatherford, who
meet yearly at Blue Ridge. Although
arrangements have been made, for
this representation, the deta ls have
not been completed but will be dur
ing the latter weeks of this month.
The members of these thred associa
tions receive the magazine regularly
and a member of each association be
comes an associate editor with Mr.
Merrill. -When the two latter asso-
c’ations join forces with the maga
zine, the circulation will be more than
4 000 copies per month.
The present number is exceedingly
rich in material and is the best that
has yet been published. The leading
article, “The Reliance of Democracy”
is written by Dr. Williams of the Uni
versity of North Carolina and con
tains much that is valuable to the
thinkers of today. Coming as it
does at this season of the year and
in the world conditions that are about
us, Dr. Williams’ article is extremely
timely. Mr. E. C. Branson, also ot
North Carolina, has contributed an
address upon “Progressive Schools”
that should be read by all social work
ers. Miss Lucia Ames Mead has an
article upon the “School Peace
League.” Miss Mead is one of the
prominent Northern workers in the
great peace movement that Is now
spreading over our country. Mr. E.
K. Robinson, a publisher of wide ex
perience, has contributed an article
uoon “Text Books Old and New.” This

The Southern Conference for Edu
cation and Industry conducts a four
page department under the supervis
ion of Dr. Bourland and Mrs. Nellie
Peuers Black. This department will
be one of the drawing cards of the
ootaing issues and will link -up the
membership of the conference with
the active workers of the headquar
tern office. Dr. Bourland has be
come an associate editor with the
January issue and will have as co-
workers certain officers from the oth
er associations as they enter the
magazine.
The Educational Monthly is only
eleven months old, hut it has had
very healthy growth and promises
still larger development in the fu
ture. Its clrcfilation extends from
Canada to Mexico and it reaches
soma of the moBt prominent educa
tors, Industrial and social workers
anywhere in the country. It offers
an attractive field to the general ad
vertiser and will undoubtedly become
a prominent advertising medium as
time goes on. No paper that we
know of has become so well known
and so influential as the Educational
Monthly.
