THE MENTOR GIVES SERVICE

This service covers the needs of those who want to gain knowledge by an easy and agreeable method.

SUPPLEMENTARY READING COURSES. Each number of The Mentor prints a list of books for supplementary reading on the subject covered by The Mentor. But in addition to this The Mentor Service includes courses of reading for its members along the lines of subjects covered by The Mentor Course. These courses of reading are prepared under the direction of members of the Advisory Board of The Mentor—all of them prominent educators.

READING CLUB PROGRAMS. The Mentor has prepared its material in the form of courses for reading clubs. The service is complete, including not only the interesting matter supplied in The Mentor, but direction as to club organization, and programs of Mentor meetings, with practical hints concerning picture material and how to use it. These Mentor courses are so arranged as to provide for any number of club meetings, from two or three up to twenty and more.

BOOK SUPPLIES. In many cases members of the Association are not in a location convenient to sources of book supply. The Mentor Association will, therefore, secure books as requested and will supply them to its members at publishers’ prices.

INQUIRY DEPARTMENT. The Mentor gives to its members a full and intelligent service in answering inquiries concerning books, reading, and all matters of general information having a bearing on The Mentor courses. Inquiries from readers are referred to members of our Advisory Board or others who are leaders in their particular fields of knowledge.

MANY READERS HAVE COME TO KNOW THE VALUE OF THE MENTOR SERVICE. IN THE FULLEST SENSE IT SUPPLEMENTS AND ROUNDS OUT THE PLAN OF THE MENTOR. ALL MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION ARE INVITED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SERVICE
