Bureau Collects Information. The magazine Is the official organ of the United Stated bureau of education. The principal function of the bureau is to collect information as to educational progress and disseminate It among school men and women throughout the country.

AU these methods of diffusing information have been continued by the new commissioner. They do not, hbwever, either singly or in the aggregate, completely meet the demand, according to Commissioner Tlgert. A method is re- oulred of collecting Information systematically and of publishing it regularly, frequently, economically. The publication has proved to be of great use to educators and It Is In auoh demand that the free edition of 40.000 Is Insufficient, Dr.

Tlgert stated. It has been necessary to establish a subscription list and the superintendent of documents sends the publicatlo'n regularly to those who pay 30 cents a year, which is the actual cost of printing from stereotype plates. The mlmcosraphed leaflets that for morly came from, the bureau of educa tlon by tho millions have almost en tlrely ceased since School has been issued, and the printed leaflets havr been ereatly reduced In number. Thi periodical covers tho ground far more effectively and economically. Its cost Is actually less than that of other forms of distribution and it presents a more pleasing appearance and bears an aspec of permanence which the mimeographed material lacks.
