The Michigan Schoolmasters' Club has, during the 15 years of its existence, become one of the most important organizations of educators in our country. Founded originally as an association of high school principals and secondary teachers, it has broadened its scope until it embraces in its membership many of the ablest and brightest educators of the country, not alone from the secondary schools, but from the colleges and universities. Its programs are always varied and instructive. The papers and discussions are such as interest the layman as well as the professional. The program for the approaching meeting is no exception.

Marshall, of Battle Creek. "Manual Training in the High School" is the subject of a paper by Supt. MacKenzie, of Muskegon. W. C. Skinner, of the Toledo Manual Training school, will lead the discussion of this paper.
