son has something TO perform inthe great |
work of educating his fellow-men, ana IN
the shirt of this sentiment, endeavor 10
no;nt ont some of the varied duties OF
SchooI Committees, School Visitors, Min
isters, Physicians, Legislators, parents
bro,hers, sisters, Sc. In short, no pains
or expense, within our means, will be
spared, for one year, to render the first
and almost only work on American Ed
uention what the cause of intelligence,
virtue. and human happiness so loudly
demand, especially at the present crisis.
We have said for one gear; for not
wilhstanding the receipt, the present year,
of q mach larger number of ne10 Subscri-
bers 10 the Annals than during any previ-
Gus year, and the fact that the uboIe num-
Der of subscribers is greater nOar than 1t
erer Was before, the work is not so we'll
sustained as it should be. To those who
may be surprised a: this disclosure and
refer US to our preface for the present
year-wri.ten in Switzerland, and, as
was then supposed, with desire that it
should not be varied by the domestic edit
or-we need only say that it is owing, in
part, to the deranged state of the curren-
cy, and the difficulty of transmitting pay
ments. But it is also true that were our
subscribers to pay US promptly, we still
need and the cause Of education demands
ia more liberal patronage. The form
er editor has sacrificed several thousand
dollars, in establishing and sustaining the
Annals; and the present editor nearly as
much more. We do not indeed affirm
that the Annals is valuable in proportion
to its cost; but we do say, once for all,
that those who regard it as valuable and
wish to secure its existence beyond
year or two longer, must not on y pay US
promptly in time to come, but must each Of
them send US another responsible subscri-
Der.
To those who find the remittance of
three dollars difficult, five dollar bill
will be received in payment of their sub
ScriptIonS two years in advance, or in
payment of their own subscription and
