THU SOUTH Kit N SCHOOL JOHN N AT. i UNDER this itle, it is proposed to publish, injthis city, ! a Mont hl y Paper, devoted entirely to the cruse of gen eral Education; Its object will be— 1. To awaken a deeper and more general interest in I the subject of Education. : ~2. To aid in devising and recommending some more practicable and efficient means of extending the bless ings ol education to all classes and conditions of our white population in the South. 3. To discuss all questions relating to Schools ; such as—the qualifications of Teachers ; the principles and modes of organization and discipline; the most approv ed and successful methods of teaching ; text, books ; the co-operation ofParents and Teachers ; the con struction and 1* uniture of school houses; the compara tive merits of private and public schools, &c. It will thus furnish a suitable medium through which Teachers, and the friends of education generally, may communicate with each other and with the public upon all topics connected with that subject. The value, not to say necessity, of such a publication must bo obvious to every one, more especially as there is no periodical ol this character in the Southern States, so lar as we are apprised. And we are particu larly desirous it should find circulation among our country population, as their condition and wants will meet with special attention in its columns. The paper will be issued in monthly number*, of sixteen pages each, Royal Octavo, neatly printed and carefully mailed. Price, One Dollar per annum, in variably in advance.
