| the pernicous 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 unceasing aim Of this de-
partment of the work; and, for this purpose, the
Editor, with the assistance of ready contributors,
has abundant facilities at hand. lille awarding
all due merit to other systems Of education, it will
be the aim OF this Journal to promote, more es-
peciay, those which are most decidedly practical,
and best adapted to the active business of life.
