CIRCULAR,
To the Teachers of Tcras:
At tho Teachers Convention, late
ly held in Houston, it was deter
mined to establish, as soon as prac-
ticable, an Educational Journal.
To insure the permanent success OF
such a periodical among us, there is
required a forethought, provision OF
resources, removal Of obstacles, and
enlistment of aid, which will take
time and labor. Meanwhile, and
preparatory to this, | haTo secured
for our present use so much space
in the Sunday Telegraph as we may
require. ,
The objects to be obtained and
The benefits derived from q proper
presentation of all topics connected
with Education, are too obvious to
need demonstration. l appeal to
every Teacher in Texas, and ask
you, male and female, to give us
your assistance. Fellow Teachers,
1 fully appreciate the talent which,
as q body, we possess; but had we
ten times as much, isolated and un-
known to each other, we could never
fully accomplish our mission. Only
in united and concerted action. is
success to be found, and this union
can be obtained only through means
of a we'll conducted journal, and OF
Teachers Associations, whore we
may gather inspiration from per
sonal Fellowship, and then go forth
again to our wide fields Of labor, to
tho gigantic work before us. | do
not hesitate to declare that the ~
moficah' Educator holds in his hands
the destinics of the Nation: and it
remains with the Teachers of Texas
to determine what type of manhood
shall inherit this State whether
our Youth shall 60 forth rs fire
brands to destroy, or as angels OF
mercy, moving in trailing clouds
of glory" to lit UP and bless our
race. -..s..
As soon as sufficient number OF
Terchcrs shall respond to this call,
who will agree to furnish tlco ar
ticles per month, | will commence
their publication in the Sunday
Telegraph. | will receive and pre-
pare for publication all articles fur
nished, until better arrangements
can be made. =, -,
Papers throughout the State will
please copy this circular. ..,
