George Hodgins, A M(D)Mf IHIILY MILJIMAIL W KID)IDf(GMI(D)M, to be devoted to the exposition of every part of. our School System ; tu the publi- cation of official papers on the subject of Schools ; to the discussion of the various means of promoting the efficiency of Schools and the duties of all classes of persons in respect to them ; to accouh • of systems of public instruction in other Countries, both European and American ; and to the diffusion of information on the great work of Popular Education generally. After much consultation on the subject, it is believed that a monthly, will be preferable to a semi-monthly. Journal of Education — the same amount of matter being contained in the latter as had been proposed to be given in the former. Each number will contain 32 closely printed large octavo pages. The first number will be issued in January, 1848. Scliool and Book Advertisements will be inserted. Terms — One Dollar per annum, in all cases payable in advance. No subscription received for less than one year, commencing with each volume. District Superintendents, Clergymen, and others friendly to the objects of the publication, are respectfully requested to act as Agents — retaining one-tenth of the amount paid them in remuneration for their trouble. As the whole amount of sub- scription paid will be devoted to tlie support and improvement of the Journal, inde- pendent of editorial management, it is hoped that no exertions will be spared in extending its circulation. The correspondence of some able and experienced gentlemen has been promised ; and that of others is requested. All communications to be addressed to J. George Hodgins, Esq., Education Office, Toronto ; and all letters, not containing remittances, must be post-paid. 05^ Editors of Newspapers are respectfully requested to insert this Prospectus ; and those inserting it and forwarding their papers will receive the Journal of Education in exchange. Toronto, December, 1847.
