N Y. JOURNAL OF EDUcArIoN.-We notice
that this publication has just entered upon its
sixth volume with valuable additions and improve
ments. 1t is one of the most efficient advocates
and auxiiaries Of universal education that the
press sends forth, and should meet generous and
jealous support from the public. Joseph McKeen
Esq our hard-working and highly popular County
Superintendent, is the principal editor; S. S. Ran
dali, State Superintendent, and ]. S Denmanr are
his assistants. These names are the best guaran.
tee that could be asked or given for the valuable
character of the Journal of Education. In the
last number we find the following judicious re.
marks upon Home Instruction
The educational processes which produce the
best results, begin amid the prvacies of sweet
home. The breathing Of mothers love enstamp
the soul, her tender dasnces should not be de-
void Of good instruction. 1t shall be one of our
purposes to contribute something to aid the
tier in educating her children in the ways of wis
dom and virtue. Much we have severaly Ia.
bored and written for the promotion Of Schools,
we are free 10 confess that the best part Of
chids education is given at home. The moral
and religious instruction Of children can by 10
means, andnO where else be well done as by
maternal lips, within the Sacred influences Of the
domestic altar. The first five years of the spring
time Of life are the most important for the orma-
tion Of character. We desire 10 contribute some
thing TO aid those who have charge Of this forna
tive period of life. We intend also that the
Journal shall have some adaptation 10 every stage
Of mental development from the cradle 10 the fall
maturity OF manhood. We shall often feel oar
own incOmpetency for this greatest aud most del
icate work that falls TO the lot of man woman,
and shall draw upon the resources of the wise Of
other times and other countries and trust that we
shall not fail to give our readers, whether school
officers teachers or parents aid in the accomplish
ment Of their important work.
