Tho Committee on the Educational, Jour.
nal respectfully report that the arrange
nents made at the last meeting OF the Asso-
cation for the, publication OF the magazine
have in the main proved satisfactory IN thell
results, and although it appears not TO nave
been entirely selt-sUstaining, yet the deficit
is so small, the prospects of enlarged clrcti'
lation and increased receipts so favorable
and its general character and influence SO
satisfactory, that they earnestly recommend
its continuance. They cannot too hlghiY
commend the ability and efficiency of its
'present accomplished editor, Professor II. ID
Harris, and though that gentleman, in bis
report to the committees declines reap
pointment, they feel assured that the same
devotion to the interests Of education IN VIZ
sinia which last year prompted his accept
ance of the position, the general satisfaction
at the mode in which the Jonr7ad'
has been conducted, and the earnest desire
felt by the Association toretain him IN their
service. will induce him to reconsider his
intimated purpose and continue those iabors
which. since our last meeting, he has so ably
D Iformed. :,
