Some answered none of th< above questions, others answered several.) The small number of schools giving unfavorable answers (1, 2, 5, 6, 7] should not be misinterpreted. These 500 schools are those replying out o: about 1,500 who received the Questionnaire in the same mailing. It is safe t< conclude that the schools sufficiently interested to reply will always show < minimum of unfavorable and a maximum of favorable verdicts. The 1,000 schools not answering may doubtless be considered as register ing by their silence unfavorable verdicts in the vast majority of cases. A com plete return on the Questionnaire would unquestionably reverse these ratios. Aj the figures stand, there are 686 favorable replies to 74 unfavorable. The ratio then, is about 9 to 1 in favor of visual instruction. If the 1,000 schools nd heard from were all unfavorable, they could change the ratio to about 2 to 1 against visual instruction. Such a ratio would be entirely natural in the presen early stages of this very young movement.

Above all, our advice will be conscientious, as from one colleague I another; for our primary purpose is to serve the best interests of the educa- tional field (in the broadest signification of that term), and our own success depends absolutely on our doing it. Further, our advice will be impartial, m we are friends equally with every producer of a worthy product; we owt
