BARTHOLOMEW, ESQ., OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS. My Dear Sir: A cursory examination of your work on "Linear Perspective" has led me to form a high opinion of its merits, and I do not hesitate to recommend it as a production of superior excellence. I am quite sure it is the best in its department I have ever seen. Its introduction into our Normal Schools meets with my hearty approval. Very truly yours, JOHN D. PHILBRICK. [From the Principal of the English High School, Boston.] BOSTON, October 12, 1859. MR. W. N. BARTHOLOMEW, Dear Sir: I have examined with some care your work on Perspective. The principles of the art are shown with great clearness and simplicity; the successive steps are so connected that the one necessarily follows from the preceding; and the whole process is so plain that no careful and industrious student of common abilities and moderate geometrical attainments can fail to understand it. The mechanical execution of the book is also of a high order. I confidently recommend the treatise, as admirably adapted to accomplish the object for which it was designed. Very respectfully yours, THOMAS SHERWIN. [From the Principal of the Girls' High and Normal School, Boston.] I heartily agree with Mr. Sherwin's recommendation of Mr. Bartholomew's new work on Perspective. It has been adopted as the text-book in the Girls' High and Normal School. Respectfully yours, W. H. SEAVEY. [From the Principal of the Mather School, Dorchester, Massachusetts.] Sir: I have used "Bartholomew's Drawing Books" in this school for nearly five years, and find them admirably adapted to our wants. The Drawing Cards, too, I have just placed in the hands of some of my pupils, and they are delighted with them. They comprise a pleasing variety of subjects beautifully presented. (Signed,) LEMUEL C. GROSVENOR. [From the Principal of the Quincy High School, Illinois.] Bartholomew's Perspective and Drawing Books I shall introduce; they please me more than any I have ever seen. (Signed,) WM. M. BAKER, A. M. [From T. P. Weston, President of Lombard University, Galesburg, Illinois.] The Teacher of Drawing has adopted Bartholomew's series of Drawing-Books for use in the preparatory department of the Institution.

[ESTABLISHED IN 1855.] IRVING BUILDING, 596 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. COWPERTHWAIT'S BUILDING, 609 CHESTNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA. COR. BROUGHTON & BARNARD STS., SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. (J. F. CANN, AGENT.) 180 WASHINGTON ST., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. (WARREN HOLT, AGT.) SMITH, WOODMAN & CO. THIS Agency for Schools and Teachers was established in New York city, in 1855. Its intention was to meet a necessity, felt and expressed by many prominent Teachers and Proprietors of Schools. It was conducted at first, hardly more than as an experiment, till its practical usefulness was fully established. Its business has been steadily increasing, and its acknowledged benefits extending more widely; and now it numbers among its friends and patrons, many of the first Educators in the land. Recently the plan of business has been carefully revised, and every improvement has been made, which large experience and good judgment could dictate. In 1859 a Branch Office was established in Philadelphia. In 1820 a Branch Office was opened in San Francisco, California; and in the same year, another in Savannah, Georgia. These offices are conducted by practical Teachers-men of liberal education and acknowledged business ability. Through this chain of offices the "American School Institute" comprehends the educational resources of the entire country, and affords unparalleled facilities to TEACHERS and EMPLOYERS OF TEACHERS. The Proprietors of the AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE would respectfully and decidedly protest against being confounded with other parties who may be nominally engaged in a similar business. Messrs. Smith, Woodman, & Company have their opinions of the requisite qualifications for the management of such an agency fully established by experience. The plan and system of this business they claim as their own. The leading objects of the AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE are: FIRST: To aid SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, and FAMILIES in securing suitable TEACHERS and PROFESSORS for any Department of Instruction. The proprietors of the INSTITUTE appreciate the delicacy and difficulty of performing this office: and yet they can assure satisfaction to those who apply, stating fully what qualifications and peculiarities are required. They have peculiar facilities for reaching every grade and variety of teachers, and their system enables them to estimate the precise qualifications and abilities of candidates for the high vocation of Teaching. SECOND: To aid worthy and competent teachers in securing positions adapted to their qualifications. THIRD: To buy and sell school properties on commission. FOURTH: To become a general Depository of information and circulars of the better schools everywhere. FIFTH: To supply Teachers and School Officers with School Books, Charts, Maps, Globes, Philosophical Apparatus, School Furniture, and every kind of School Merchandise, at the lowest rates. Also to execute at the shortest notice, in the highest style of art, all kinds of School Printing, Circulars, Catalogues, Blanks, Cards, etc., at the lowest rates. In selecting PIANO FORTES FOR SCHOOLS, they have peculiar advantages, and possess an experience and an acknowledged ability which defies competition. Parties may depend upon being satisfied in the quality and price of instruments selected. PRINCIPALS of Schools, desirous of advertising, can have their advertisements inserted in any of the Leading Newspapers, at their lowest cash rates. SEVERAL WELL QUALIFIED TEACHERS WANTED. A Circular containing particulars of our Plans, Terms, &c., furnished when applied for. From Rev. Samuel Lockwood, the accomplished Scholar and the eminent Naturalist, Keyport, N. J. Perhaps the most remarkable exponent of what method can accomplish, is that system of Intelligence tactics, or that new phase of Educational business as conducted and developed by the " AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE. Here is a set of gentlemen who keep themselves posted on the entire Educational wants and resources of the whole country. Every department of Education, high or low, comes within the plan. In a word, as to Education, taking it in a wide range, its apparatus, its literature, its wants and resources, are tabled, as it might be in a Bureau of Educational Statistics. And now mark the effect of such knowledge. In a time consideration, what saving! Instead of schools of high character being closed, or suffered to decline until the right man turns up, one is provided whose calibre is known. "The right man in the right place." The loss of time, misdirection of talent, imposition by unprofessional charlatanry, each in itself no small misfortune to patron or pupil, are happily avoided. Amherst College, Mass., June, 1838. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE, we think, is wisely adapted to advance the ends of education in its various forms, affording to Principals of Academies and Schools, to Teachers and Parents, facilities in their varias labors and designs, not otherwise so readily and easily obtained. Our personal acquaintance with Dr. Woodman gives us confidence that its business will be conducted in an honorable and trustworthy manner. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, (Prof. of Geology, &e) From Hon. Theo. Frelinghuysen, LL. D., President of Rutgers College, N.J. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE, for the supply of Schools, Academies, and Colleges with competent Teachers, and Professors, happily meets the wants of our country, and will be found to be a most convenient and useful institution. I regard the enterprise as deserving of public confidence. Our country is so extensive, and schools are so multiplied, and will be, I trust, more and more, that some medium is almost indispensable for reference and selection and supply. And the purposes of the AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE usefully reach the case in all its departments. Very respectfully and truly yours, THEO. FRELINGHUYSEN. Normal Musical Institute, NORTH READING, Mass., June 8th, 1858. G. S. WOODMAN, Esq. : Dear Sir-You may refer to us. The plan and objects of the "AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE" strike us favorably. We cheerfully express our confidence in your competency to select Music Teachers, and we bellere that Music Teachers who are in want of situations, will find it to their advantage to seek them through your & Co. agency of SMITH, WOODMAN LOWELL MASON en's popular series of Geographies.

I regard it as a most excel it was first established, and can speak of it in terms of the highes to secure the services of Teachers. I have lent medium of communication between Teachers, and those who desii hers have obtained very desirable situaknown personally of many cases in which worthy and competent Teacs have a guarantee, in the character tions through the agency of the INSTITUTE.

SMITH, WOODMAN & Co., Your AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE subserves a noble purpose, and supplies that desideratum hitherto negotiations between Principal and Teacher-that indefiniteness common to engagements between parties at a distance-a want hitherto equivalent to "a leap in the dark." Happily for us all your agency can plicitly relied upon. R. F. LEHMAN. From Prof. E. G. Dalton, Principal of Upland Normal Institute, Penna. To ascertain just what teachers want engagements and what schools need teachers, are matters of the highes importance to the parties interested. And from what I know of the American School Institute-(I have secure teachers through its agency)-I believe it to be the cheapest, easiest, and most reliable means of exact infor mation on these subjects of anxious inquiry. Yours truly, E. G. DALTON. From the Daily (Philadelphia) Press. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL INSTITUTE affords undoubted and reliable facilities to the vast educational machinery of our country. We have had frequent evidence of its advantages to teachers, in procuring the most congenia positions; and to schools, in procuring for them the most suitable teachers; and to many of our first citizens whe are governed by its direction in bestowing their patronage upon schools away from the city. The highest educa tional and business references, in every part of the country are given by Messrs. Smith, Woodman & Co., Pro prietors of the American School Institute. |
