It will thus furnish a Citable medium through which Teachers, and the friends of education generally, may communicate with each other and with the public upon nil topics connected with that subject. The value, not to say necessity, of such a publication must be obvious to every one, more especially as there is no periodical ol this character in the Southern States, so far as we are apprised.
