WISCONSIN JOURNAL OF EDUCArIoN."- is
well known that at the last annual meeting of
the State Teachers Association, a movement
was made for the publication of an Educational
journal, which should be the organ of the Asso-
citation, and it was hoped, a medium of commu-
nication between the State School Department
and the schools of the State. The following
gentlemen were appointed a . lmittee to carry
out these views:
]. L. PIcKARD, Platteville; II. Y KILGoRE, Madison;
A. ]. CRAIG, Milwaukee,; ". C. ArsTIN, Beloit;
A c. SPIcER, Milton; W. VANNEss, Fond du Lac;
V. BUTLER, Kenosha; JOHN G. MCMYSN, Racine.
Mr.. MoMYSH, the able and indefatigable
teacher of the Racine Public School, is to be the
resident editor for the current year. to whom
communications to be addressed. The COM
mittee have issued Circular, in which they say :
"The Committee have made such arrange
ments viii, they feel confident, prove salts
factory to all concerned. They propose publish
ing such journal as the importance of our edu-
cational interests demands. 1t will contain
original essays and communications, as well as
selections from current educational literature,
and while no department of instruction, from
the primary to the most advanced, will be ne
elected; while srW be Of practical ,aluc to erery
grade of Teachers, it will Also it is hoped, be a
welcome visitor to every fireside in the State.
1t Will fearlessly advocate the right of every
child in the State to such an education as will
qualify him TO do his duty as citizen and
patriot. And it will labor in connection with
the State Superintendent to realize the benefits
contemplated by our noble system of free edu-
cation.
To secure the objects for which this journal
is established, 1t must have circulation To
obtain this, the Committee rely confidently upon
the efforts of Teachers and friends of education
They feel that they may with propriety appeal
to erery Teacher In the State to become subscriber
The interests of the journal identical with
the interests of the Teachers. 1t is their pro-
perty well their organ. We ask them,
then, to do, and do promptly, what they can to
increase its circulation, and thus its usefulness
"We are authorized to state that District
School Boards may subscribe for a copy for the
District Library, and pay for the same out of
the Library money. The State Superintendent
has signified his willingness to make this iour-
nal his medium of communication with School
Officers, and this, together with educational adj
vertlsements, Will give 1t increased value to
Teachers and School Boards
With this statement of the objects for which
the " IsCoNsIN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION" has been
established, the Committee look with confidence
for the cordial cooperation of those whom they
address The first number will be issued on

sometimes given credit for that of which we do
not feel particularly proud BY the Walworth

times noticed that the Sentinel credits articles

THE GovERyoEsHIP.-The question Of i" WHO

The Supreme Court having decided the case Of
Jurisdiction adverse 10 the claims of Mr. Bar
stow, and the time having passed for Mr. Bar
STOW to answer 70 the bill put in by Mr. Bash
ford's counsel, the Court gave them un.jl Thurs
day last to file their answer. At that time,
however, they appeared no nearer ready than
before, and desired sin furthe- delay. which
was granted partly by consent Of the opposing
counsel and partly by the lenient disposition of
the Court. Yesterday, (Mopday) morning Was
fixed upon by Inc Court rs the time when Ny.
Barstows answer must he filed. Mr.. Arnold
urged further delay, he stated, for the purpose
OF time to examine the record of returns in the
Secretary office but we learn from the Nadi-
son Journal, jiat instead Of attending to that
duty, Mr.. Arnold immediately started for Mil
waukee and is not expected to return until Mon
day. What preteXt viii next be offered for de-
lay, remains TO be seen. We trust however, that
unnecessary time WI be granted by the
