Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, Vol. 5The profits of the concern are as yet only nominal, and it was found necessary to draw from the funds of the Association to carry it through the first year of its life.The practical question which we would now put to the teachers of this State is this, Will you give the Massachusetts Teacher a more liberal support, and thus make it more worthy of your patronage, and more worthy of the great interests to which it is devoted? Its future character and history must of course depend in a great measure upon the support you give to it. It is your paper, and we wish you so to consider it. If you do not sustain it by subscriptions, it must languish. If you do not send your contributions to its columns, who will? That it has imperfections we do not doubt. What periodical has not? But let every teacher in Massachusetts lend a hand to improve it, and it will become, if it is not now, the pride of the profession.We hold that it is the duty of every teacher in Massachusetts to take and read an educational paper, and when we find a per son in a permanent situation as a. Teacher, without such a publi cation, if we do not conclude there is something rotten in Den mar we do feel pained. If any have arrived at such an enviable degree of perfection in the science and art of teaching that they can glean no new ideas from such a source, we con gratulate them on their good fortune, and since they do not need a paper for themselves, we can only ask them to help sus tain one for the sake of their less fortunate brethren.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
