Professional Teachers, propose to publish a
periodical to aid them in their laudab!e un-
dertak'ng to promote universal education.
THE UNIVERSAL EDUCATOR.
IT is proposed 10 published in Cincinnati, a
MONTHLY Paper, with the above name; the
object of which will be to show the advan-
tage Of UNIVERSAL EDucaTIoN, and the abso-
lutte necessity Of ii in this great Republic, IN
order to give permanency to all its valuable
Institutions, and enable it continually to-
advance in responsibility. virtue and happi-
ness. BY education, we do no: mean one
that is very limited, but one that is extensive
and liberal; not light and superficial one
that renders its possessor a mere pedant, but /
one that shall be thorough and solid, and one
that will enlarge and strengthen the under
standing and purify the affections: one that !
will qualify every individual to examine rea-
son and Judge for himself on all subjects Of
Importance. '.Knorlcdge is pouer.' And the
Farmer, and every Mechanic, and indeed ev-I
cry person who follows an honest employment
lie: II be whatever it may, ought to possess
this power in as great degree as the Clergy
man, the Judge, the Physician, OF the Law
yer. And this he would do, if he were bless
cd with az good an education. When this
shall be the case, and not till then, shall we
know what it is to enjoy real Republican
Government. The great body Of the people
haze been kept on the back ground Tong enough.
And we have abundant proof that a few edu-
Gated persons cannot do much towards pro-
noting the happiness Of all. 1t is high time,
therefore, that the people should come for
ward, one and all, with firm and fixed de-
Termination to cultivate all the powers and
faculties of mind that God has given them,
and thereby elevate themselves to an equal
standing with those of their fellow beings who
possess the greatest degree Of knowledge,
wisdom and goodness. 1t cannot reasonably
be expected that those who are advanced IN
life. without acquiring education, can now
acquire one as complete if they had COM
!menced when young; but they can do much
to promote the general cause, and to en-
courage and urge on those who arc younger.
All children, without regard to circumstances.
parentage, riches or poverty, should be thor
oughly and literally educated. And nothing
short of this can save our Republic from ruin
and destruction, like ali that have preceded
liz.
This paper will be principally confined to
the object mentioned above; nevertheless, it
will give Il cor .ect, but concise statement Of
passing occurrences throughout the world.
