KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS who may be in search of positions, or wish to change for larger salaries or more desirable locations, cannot do better than write to the Teachers' Co-operative Association, 70 Dearborn Street, Chicago, and be put in correspondence with those needing teachers.

This Association is continually called upon to supply Kindergarten and Primary teachers in all parts of the United States. In the Western States the demand for such teachers is constantly increasing. Those thinking at all of changing should write early, as many of the best positions are filled early in the

season.

Mr. Brewer, the manager, will take pleasure in sending full information of his work to any teacher writing and stating her needs and wishes.

Address, "Teachers' Co-operative Association," 70 Dearborn Street, Chicago.

Color in the Kindergarten

You ought to study Bradley's scheme of Primary Color Education. It will help you make Artistic Combinations, based on the Elementary Science of Color.

The Maxwell Color Disks, and the large and beautiful line of Bradley's Educational Colored Papers combine to give all who are interested in Primary Color Education the first systematic material ever offered for such a course, either in the Kindergarten or the Primary School-room.

All our Kindergarten Papers for Parquetry, Weaving and Folding, can now be bought in the new line of over one hundred colors, standards, hues, tints and shades, made to order in Coated Papers, after much experimenting.

Nearly every advance of any practical value which has been made in Kindergarten material since it left the hands of Froebel, has originated in our establishment, and in this matter of color we mean to lead the procession.

Send 60 cents for Teachers' Sample Box.
