design are such ss will not interfere with those of
any other publication now in existence at the
South. In every other department of Periodical
Literature, We are well supplied with ably-edited
and well-conduct Journals. The interests of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly connected, have, as yet, no spe-
cial organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy Of
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress
With the general diffusion of practical sducatio

branch OF enterprise, proportionaby elevated and
improved. Ii is in accordance with these views,
that the undersigned submits, with confidence, to
the consideration Of those who feel interested in
both or either of these great causes, a plan by
which their interests be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object

mitted to instil into the minds of our children
