A MESSAGE TO OUR READERS

I am sure that those of you who are readers of the small print in psychological journals have noted that the statement of editorial responsibilities appearing in the January, 1970, issue of Psychology In The Schools contains some major changes. After guiding PITS from its birth through six years of critical and successful growth, Prof. William A. Hunt decided last year that he wished to move into a less d e manding relationship with the journal. Accordingly, Prof. Hunt and I have changed roles so that he has moved to the position of associate editor and I have assumed editorial responsibilities for PITS. In addition, Diana Hunt has relinquished her role as managing editor with Patricia Germeles undertaking that responsibility.

The leadership which Bill Hunt has given to shaping the direction of Psy- chology In The Schools is evident in the present status of PITS as a journal of research, opinion, and practice in the field of school psychology. The present editor plans no departures from the policies which contribute to the excellence of PITS. With the former editor close at hand, I hope to minimize any errors of judgment which might deter the continued growth of the journal. We shall con- tinue to accept for publication only those manuscripts which are judged to be the best of those submitted. In addition, we will on occasion invite manuscript,s which represent interesting and creative content, concerning the application of psychology in a school setting.

While the names of the editors may have reversed themselves, the only major change in the direction of the journal will be the new address for the mailing of manuscripts.
