ther of music or of teaching, to be pursued without
preparatory training,
Miss B. insists that all the evils which she has
portrayed, it is in the power of American Wo-
men fully to remedy and remove, and that to this
end nothing is wanting but knowledge of the
evils, and welI-deyised plan for uniting the en-
erges Of our countryWomen in the effort. And
such plan she thinks is embraced in an organ
izaton which has been formed in Cincinnati,
under the name of the Central Committee for
Promoting National Education In various pla-
Ces in every section of our country associations
of Ladies are formed, or are being formed, to
aid in the enterprise. To give our readers a
clear understanding of the plan, we must quote
farther from Miss Beechers Address:
The plan is, to begin on a small scale, and to take
women already qualified Intellectually to teach, and
possessed of missionary zeal and benevoence and, at
ter farther training to send them to the most g
norant portions Of our land to raise up schools to in
struct in morals and piety, and to teach the domestic
arts and virtues. The commencement of this enter
PRISE until we gain confidence by experiment and eX-
perience, will be the opening of very small sulce
But so great is the number of educated and unem-
poyed women at the East, and great the necessity
for teachers at the West, that the stream
begins 10 move, it will grow wider and deeper and
stronger till it becomes the river of life carrying
health and verdure to every part of our land.
1t is the design oftkose who are conducting this en-
teprse to begin locating missionary teachers
as funds are furnished that will suffice to put our agen
ces into operation. We have large number Of well
qualified teachers waiting to enter this servlce-tal
more than we have means TO employ-and they are
women of excellent pietv discretion, energy, and self
denying zeal 1t is calculated that on average one
hundred dollars contributed will enable us to locate
one such teacher. In some larger sum will be
required, and in others smaller will SUFFICE but this
Will be about the average. The chief expense in this
enterprise will be the employment of agents to 20 tc
the destitute Places to make arrangements for the tea
cheers and to and them in commencing their labors; fo
we do not in any case design to send a woman alone
such enterprise. We design that she shall have
suitable escort to her field of labor suitable home
provided, sChoolroom and its furniture prepared ant
all proper arrangements made for her comfort and
cess and we especially intend that she SHALL in every
Department. be thoroughly prepared for her duties and
trials As soon as each teacher is stationed she viii
commence a correspondence with the individual as
ISOLATION who furnished funds employed in aiding her
and repeat her communications to them as often as is
desirable.
The execution of these plans has been delayed
for the want Of a suitable person to act in the
capacity Of Secretary and General Agent. That
want will soon be supplied by the services oil
Hon. WILLIAM SLADE. present Governor of Yer
mont, who, at the close of his official term in
October, will remove to Cincinnati and enter
with his well known zeal and ability upon the
Iabors which have been assigned to him
considerable number of Teachers have been al
ready engaged, and the first step will be to as
sembIe them at the most conyenInnt point, where
for few weeks Miss Beecher will aid III pre-
pairing them for their future abors. Simultane
onsly with the preparation of the Teachers, ar.
engagements will be going forward for their re-
moval to various locations in those parts of the
country where schools are most needed
