Highlights for Children
''Highlights for Children'', often referred to simply as ''Highlights'', is an American children's magazine. It began publication in June 1946, started by Garry Cleveland Myers and his wife Caroline Clark Myers in Honesdale, Pennsylvania (the present location of its editorial office). They both worked for another children's magazine, ''Children's Activities'', for 12 years before leaving to start ''Highlights''. Since its inception ''Highlights'' has carried the slogan "Fun with a Purpose".
The company is now based in Columbus, Ohio, and owns book publishers Zaner-Bloser, Stenhouse Publishers, Staff Development for Educators and Boyds Mills Press. ''Highlights'' has surpassed one billion copies in print. ''Highlights'', ''High Five'', and ''Hello'' magazines do not carry any third-party advertising or commercial messages.
==Before ''Highlights''==
Garry Myers earned a PhD in psychology from Columbia University before WWI, providing a basis for the teaching he would do the rest of his life. He and Caroline Myers taught illiterate soldiers for the US Army, with Caroline becoming the first female teacher employed by the Army.〔(The Founders – Highlights for Children )〕 This experience led to their pioneering of elementary education. They taught educators and parents for a time at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, during which Garry Myers wrote a nationally syndicated column entitled ''Parent Problems'', and the couple co-authored several books.
They had become nationally well known in education and wished to share their knowledge so they began to work for ''Children's Activities''. Lecturing across the nation, they informed, discovered, and refined what they knew. Certain business endeavors kept them from publishing what they thought was ideal for a children's magazine. Their travels also led to long discussions on what would be appropriate for children, and after finishing with ''Children's Activities'' instead of retiring they decided to start their own magazine. Their experience, knowledge and uncompromising methods led to a success for Highlights. Later, they would buy ''Children's Activities'' and incorporate it in ''Highlights''.
