Need Mentoring
Oct. 23rd, 2013 11:52 pmI am trying to find more info on some magazines I bought at a thrift shop several years ago. I have three issues of _The Mentor_, numbered NO. 89 (August 16, 1915), NO. 110 (July 1, 1916) and NO. 122 (January 1, 1917). Each is on a single topic: The Philippine Islands, The Weather and Keeping Time, respectively.
Actually, they're more like pamphlets. They're roughly digest size - 10" X 7" - but thin, with loose pages which include large photo prints.
The publication information on the back covers says they were produced by The Mentor Association, 52 East Nineteenth Street, New York, N. Y. At the bottom of the back cover on each is the motto "Make the spare moment count." On the front cover at the top of each is the motto "Learn one thing at a time."
The inside back covers of NO. 89 and NO. 122 have additional information, giving names, purpose and subscription information. The inside back cover of NO. 110 has more detailed subscription information, and a fold-out flap with a list of contributors and brief information about them. It also has on the other side of the flap a list of publications and their subjects to NO. 109. There is no information on publication dates, so I don't know when the series began.
These were apparently around for many years, with at least 122 published. I have tried multiple online searches and have found no mention of these publications. Can anyone provide additional information?
