neer Southern Educational Aid Society,""

edge in those portions of the Southern states
where opportunities for education are limited,
and where the means of parents, many OF whom

be essentially an aid society. Its chief object
is to encourage depressed and dispirlted peo-
Pile, to teach them how to aid themselves, and

verses, by assuring them Of substantial SYM
pathy and considerate cooperation: Its efforts
shall, for the present, be directed to the de-
velopment and permanent establishment. of the
Charleston Parish and Home School, the for
mer being day school for the education OF
five hundred children, on the most economical
principles, and the latter being home for one
hundred boys, chiefly orphans and half or
phans, who are without means and without
parental care. This effort is intended merely
| as pioneer effort. Should the success of the
society enable it to do so, it will hereafter ex-
tend its usefulness to the establishment and
encouragement of similar schools in other
Southern States.
white children. each Of whom shall pay what
ever it can afford towards its own education.
No child shall be received gratuitously whose
parents or guardians are in condition to pay
the very moderate prices asked for tuition.
The society shall last for FIVE years from the
first day of June, 1868.
There shall be an annual election on the first
day OF June in each year, to be held at the Of
nee of the society, in Baltimore.
Every subscriber shall be a member, and
shall be entitled to vote.
Subscriptions shall be payable semi-annually
during he continuation of the society.
The officers Of the society shall consist Of q
President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Sec
retary and twenty-four Directors, at least four

California.
