THE SOUTH LltN SCHOOL JOURNAL.
UNDER this itle, it is proposed topublish, injthis city,
a Monthly Paper, devoted entirely to the c iuse of gen
eral Education.* Its object will be—
1. To awaken a deeper and more general interest in
the subject of Education.
“ t 2. To aid itt devising and recommending some more
practicable and efficient means of extending the bless
ings of 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 ami successful methods of teaching ; text books ;
the co-operation of Parents and Teachers ; the con
struction and 1< uniture of school bouses; 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 otherand with the public upon
all 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. And we are particu
larly desirous it should line! 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 numbers, of
sixteen pages each, Royal Octavo, neatly printed and
carefully mailed. Trice, One Dollar per annum, in
variably in advance. No subscription will be received
for less time than one year, and no name entered as a
subsriber until the money is received.
Advertisements in any way connected with the ob
jects ol the paperwill be inserted atthe usual price, for
cash in advance.
The firs number will be issued in January 1853.
Unless Providentially prevented, tbe paper will be
published for one year at least ; so that no one need
hesitate to forward his subscription at once for that
period.
We earnestly ask the aid of all friends of general ed
ucation, particularly in Georgia and Alabama, in sus
taining and circulating the work. Several of the Or
dinaries in Georgia have volunteered in advance to act
as Agents. We respectfully soilcit the same favor of
all. We shall be p eased to receive as many names as
possible by the 15th of January, in time lor the first
issue.
All communications should be addressed postage
paid to the Southern School Journal, Columbus, Geor
gia.
At the solicitation of many friends, the undersigned
lias consented to undertake the Editorial department of
the above paper. He does so with unfeigned difference
of his own ability in this untried sphere of labor. But he
is cheered by assurances ofaid from able hands. Hesoli
cist contributions to its columns from the able and ex
perienced friends of the cause throughout the South. —
Let them be well studied, plainly written, briefand to
the point. He will be much gratified to receive cor
rect accounts of the state of education in the different
counties, as well as the different sections ofthe coun
try. These will furnish important facts for our work.
