Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, Vol. 5 The Massachusetts Teacher is conducted by a Board of Editors, who are appointed annually by the Massachusetts State Teachers' Association, of which body it is the responsible organ. It was established because it was believed that our profession needed a paper of its own. Teachers felt that a Teachers' journal was needed, - one which would come home directly to their own business and bosoms. They believed that such a publication might be made a powerful instrument in advancing the interests of education, and of elevating the profession of teaching.
