Excerpt from Supplement to the Catalogue of the Pedagogical Library and the Books of Reference: In the Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools, Board of Public Education, Philadelphia This little book contains the additions made to the Pedagogical Library of this office since the printing of the catalogue in 1887. The books have been arranged upon the same plan as that originally adopted, and for the purpose of indicating the scope of the library and the character of the additions made, the complete scheme of classification has been prefixed. I have to regret that the pressure of official duties has prevented me from adding the bibliographical notes, for which a large amount of material has been gathered during the past three years. For the same reason, the references to the numerous valuable and important articles on educational subjects, which have appeared in the leading periodicals during the same time, have been necessarily omitted. I hope to be able to utilize these at an early day in the preparation of a Manual of Pedagogical Literature that I have had in view for some time. I have to acknowledge the painstaking manner in which the proof-sheets have been read by my clerk, Miss Adele M. Smith.
