New Orleans, July l8 1873. )
Gentlemen Of the State Board of Education:
Your committee appointed to take into
consideration the propriety and practica
bility of establishing monthly State edu-
catiOnal journal, respectfully recommend,
after having carefully canvassed the sub
ject, that they are fully persuaded that
such an enterprise is not only practicable
but very desirable, and will advance the
interests entrusted to our care. A careful
inquiry as the cost of publication and the
sources of patronage within our reach, re-
lieves the enterprise from all hazard, pro-
viding each superintendent gives it his
hearty support. 1t is of the utmost impor-
tance that the people Of our commonwealth
be made fully acquainted with the official
action of the board in all its minutia, and
brought within touching distance of our.
selves, and in no way can this go
speedily be accomplished as by the pub
LEGATION of journal advocating the cause
ing its advanced steps in our midst The
advantage TO ourselves and subOrdi-
nate officials in the constant information
| furnished from the respective departments
of our work, can not be too highly esti-
! mated, and without which our efficiency
must be largely crippled. TO the official
| journals of the State we are greatly in
| debted Cor aid rendered: but, however
| willing, the multiplicity of interests claim
| to give that aid to this department that its
! magnitude and Importance demand. For
| the reasons enumerated, you are respect
| fully requested to take such action as will
| enable this enterprise to be Immediately
organized: and your committee suggests
| that the honorable president of the board
| be made editor and publisher, with au-
| thority to select his assistant, and that the
several superintendent be designated and
| SO recognized as associate editors of the
journal. named by the president of the
| board the Louisiana Guardian.
The various division superintendent are
respectfully requested to render what Pc
| cuniary aid they may be able to obtain in
their respective divisions by way of sub
| scriptions from teachers and friends of
