THE NEW ENGLAND TEACHERS'
READING UNION.
The N. E. T. R. U. has been established for the benefit of teachers and others who desire to carry on a systematic course of reading.
ITS PLANS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
I.—To Establish Three Courses of Reading, each embracing the best literature in the department named.
- Course A—Teachers' Professional Course.
- Course B—Teachers' Comprehensive Course.
- Course C—Young Folks' Course.
The reading matter will consist of three books in each half of the courses for adults, and two books and Wide Awake in each half of Young Folks' Course.
(Clubs may be formed at any time.)
II.—The Establishment of Reading Unions, Circles and Clubs, in all parts of New England. Five or more persons in one locality may form a Branch Union by uniting together and electing a President and a Secretary of the Club, adopting such a name as may be agreeable to them. As soon as the Secretary shall notify the General Secretary of the N. E. T. R. U. that a branch union or club has been formed, and that the members are prepared to proceed with the work of the courses, books may be ordered at the reduced prices named in the circulars.
Correspondence is solicited with all teachers.
A list of the books adopted for the various courses also sent free.

Literary Notes.
Lawrence Severn, an English writer, is bringing out a novel entitled Heaven's Gate: A Story of the Forest of Dean, of which the scenes are laid in and about Chepstow Castle and Tintern Abbey. The critics who have been permitted to read this in manuscript are enthusiastic in pronouncing it a story of great strength and exquisite style. D. Lothrop & Co. announce it for March.
Much attention is attracted by the series of fine historical drawings by Howard Pyle which are appearing in this year's Wide Awake in company with E. S. Brooks' historical stories. Studies so conscientious of time, costume and portraiture ennoble the illustrator's calling.
The proper place of the accent in the word "arbutus" has excited much discussion. A rare instance of its proper accentuation in poetry may be found in "The Gift of Spring," a graceful bit of verse by Charles Miner Thompson, which appears in March which D. Lothrop & Co. publish.
