Having been appointed said committee, the un-

the character of common schools, by communica-
ting important principles and suggestions con-

cling that they have engaged as editor of the pro-
posed journal, the Superintendent of Public In
struction, Mr.. JonN ID. PIERCE. To literary quail
ifcations of high order, Mr.. Pierce unitcs the
advantage OF former experience as a practical
teacher and ofminute and extensive acquaintance
with the condition and wants of every portion of
the state. Under such auspices, the committee
cannot doubt that the publication will be valua-
bic auxiliary in the cause of education, and they
appeal with equal earncstness and confidence to
their fellow citizens TO encourage and sustain the
enterprise.
