PROSP ECT US
OF THE
SOUTHERN HOME JOURNAL.
OF EDUCATION AND DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.
TO be published IN Charleston, s. C.


EDWIN HERIoT, EDITOR.
ENHE subscriber proposes, as as his sub
IL scrpton list, now IN progress, will warrant
the undertaking, to publish, in this city, BIZ
Monthly JOURNAL, exclusively devoted to the
advancement of the above objects. Its scope and
design such 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-con Quoted Journals The interests Of
Southern Education and Home Industry, which
are indissolubly connected, have, yet, no spe-
cia organ, devoted mainly to the advocacy Of
their claims and the record oftheir Joint progress
With the general diffusion of practical education
among the people, their Industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed on more permanent basis,
and the condition of the working classes, in every
branch Of enterprise, proportonably elevated and
improved 1t 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, plan by
which their interests be made identical and
mutually dependent. Trusting that the object
will meet their appreciation, he will now proceed
TO state the principles upon which it will be con
Quoted.
| To advocate, strictly and exclusively, Southern
Education--the encouragement of our own Liter
airy Institutions, and the publication of Southern
School Books, edited, printed and circulated in
the Southern States-to bring into prominent
caIs, Colleges and Schools, at the South--to dis
courage Northern agents, and their School Books,
and expose, in all their deformity and duplicity,
the pernicious doctrines of Abolition and hostility
to the South, which they have so long been per-
mitted to instil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceasiDg aim Of this de-
portment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance Of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities at hand. v lille awarding
all due merit to other systems OF education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more es-
pecialy, those which are most decidedly practical,
and best adapted to the active business of life.
Essays on all subjects connected with Education
Reviews of all School Books and literary works
published at the South-Reports Of Teachers,
Conventions, extracts from them-of College
and School Exhibitions and addresses before Lit
| erary Societies-and OF the progress Of law, med
lcal military and free schools at the South-will
constitute the main features of this division of the
work.
The INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT will embrace ex-
tended notices of the progress of THE MECHANIC
AIRS AND MANUFACTURES, as well as all other
branches of industry--of Factories and Work
shops, for the production of every article of do
mesuc consumption or use, among us--and of
new inventions, Improvements, models, and de-
signs in mechanism and the fine Arts--bringing
into notice the names qualifications and localities
of our own mechanics and amateurs IT, cir
achievements, and rewards of merit received at
puDllC III VIII also contain ESSAYS on
all topics connected with these matters; Reports
Of Southern Industrial Institutes, and statistical
facts relating to their progress.
| Each number of the HOWE JOURNAL will CON
tain AZ pages, octave, bi-monthly, and furnished
to subscribers and others at 50 per annum, or 10
copies for S'5-payabie al The end Of the pourne, or
in proportion, on the delivery o. numbers, "
| cents, and less by the quantity. The nsertlonb
full notices of new enterprises, &C.. in each num-
Der, will make it the interest OF those concernedin
them to secure many copies possible, for cir
cuation among their friends and patrons.
Beyond this, "TuE HomE JOURNAL" will make
no promises or pretensons. Not entering the
lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way of none, it's legitimate 81 here and aim will
be to promote the interests Of all--recognizng no
party, in education or politics, but the party of
the South, it will seek to preserve the Union Of
the South, by developing her resources and slim
ulatIng the industry of her people.
