Western Literary Institute and College of Professional Teachers.
Cincinnati : James R. Allbach,
1837-1838.
Published by the Western Literary Institute and edited by John W. Pickett, a pioneer in educational journalism, this educational magazine proposed to "support broad, radical, and liberal education" and to "embrace departments of general literature and physical sciences."  Among its contributors were William H. McGuffey, Alexander Kimmont, and other western educational leaders.  Contents included meteorological observations, literary notices, essays and articles on history, math, classical literature, geology, electricity, language, and natural science, and most importantly, on education--books, teaching, schools, academies and colleges, and the philosophy and history of education.  The last few volumes contained the proceedings of the College of Professional Teachers, and many reports and addresses. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900.
Includes the Proceedings and the Constitution of the Western Literary Institute and College of Professional Teachers, 7th annual meeting, p. 481-700.
