NOTICES.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION, as edited by Mr. Barnard, is established to enter on a range of discussion and investigation, much wider than that which examines simply the best methods of imparting instruction to children; and it will be the highest authority which this country will have, as to systems tested abroad, or the improvements necessary at home.

We constantly regret, in the management of our own journal, that the claims of general literature, of science, of new questions in social order, and of history, are such that we can not devote the space which we should be glad to do to subjects relating to college education,-to the scientific advancement of the country,to the intense necessity among us for art-culture, musical and architectural, as well as that which relates to the arts of design, and also to those efforts of education which would reform the destitute children of the land, and prevent that crime which all experience shows us we can not cure.

In its true range, the title of "Education" includes all such subjects, and many others which will suggest themselves to the reader,-not merely discussions on school-house ventilators, or on the parsing of an irregular sentence.

We can not doubt that our readers have felt the need of some authority, from which they could collect the facts regarding these subjects. Such authority, till now, we have never had.

The statistics of foreign systems of culture have been much harder to obtain than those of foreign armies, and the occasional reports of gentlemen who have traveled abroad with an eye to the best institutions of Europe, have supplied nearly all the reliable information which was accessible to most students here.

Hon. Henry Barnard, everywhere known as an energetic and practical man, who has devoted his life to the improvement of Education,-who has filled the office of Superintendent of Education in Rhode Island and in Connecticut, now establishes the American Journal of Education to meet the wants to which we have hinted, to furnish the information which elsewhere we can not get, and to be the organ of discussions which otherwise we shall not have.

His own interest in movements for public education has opened his connection, so to speak, with the most distinguished men and women throughout the world, who have interested themselves in the sciences connected with the education of either the rich or the poor.

In his own library, as is well known, is a very valuable collection of the most distinguished modern authors on these themes; in his correspondence at home and abroad, he must daily collect curious and new material for their further illustration; and even among his personal friends, as his prospectus shows, is a body of very efficient writers ready to sustain his Journal with the pen.

It remains that the large "public" which is interested in science, in art, in the classics, in social reform, by better education, as well as those who are directly concerned as teachers or as pupils in our schools and colleges shall generously welcome and support a Journal which has the right to promise so much to them all.-North American Review for April.

BARNARD'S AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION for March, presents a great variety of important articles, interesting, not merely to professional instructors, but to all who take pleasure in studying great questions of social advancement and prosperity. Mr. Barnard's name is too well known throughout this state, and throughout the country, by his speeches, publications and incessant labors for

the advancement of public education, to warrant any words of comment as to his peculiar fitness for the management of such a periodical as that which he is publishing. He understands thoroughly the state of instruction throughout the country, is equally well informed in reference to colleges and universities, common schools and academies, "ragged" and industrial schools, and every other subject which "education" in its widest sense can comprehend, and, moreover, by an extensive personal acquaintance not only in this land, but in almost every country of Europe, he is able to collect the opinions and experience of a great variety of distinguished educators. His Journal will not enter the sphere now ably occupied by various local journals, but will undertake the discussion of topics of national and universal importance.

The support of a journal like this commends itself as a duty to all who believe that the great safeguard of our country, with its democratic institutions, lies in the provision of Christian Education for all classes of society.-New Haven ( Conn.) Palladium.

MR. BARNARD, from the wide range of his general information and untiring industry, is admirably qualified to carry out such a design, and his Journal thus conducted will prove an invaluable contribution to our educational literature.Providence (R. I.) Journal.

MR. BARNARD'S JOURNAL occupies a broader field than the local school journals. Its scope is more comprehensive than any thing that has hitherto been attempted even in England, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing the number before us (for March) a model specimen of what a first class educational periodical should be.-Westfield (Mass.) News-Letter.

It is edited by Henry Barnard, LL. D., the author of School Architecture &c., which in their several departments are beyond question the best extant. The periodical now undertaken will be indispensable to the enlightened and progressive teacher, and not wholly unsuitable for popular reading. Everything about the work is executed with the greatest fidelity.- Vermnot Christian Messenger.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION, edited by Henry Barnard, LL. D., is a new work, and is distinguished for unusual ability, not only in the character of the articles furnished, but by the skillfulness of the editor's management in his own productions, and at arrangement of the whole table of contents.- Wesleyan, Syracuse, N. Y.

A periodical has been commenced under the editorial supervision of HENRY BARNARD, LL. D., than whom no man living has higher qualifications for this important duty. His reputation has been well established by his long services as State Superintendent both in Connecticut and Rhode Island, and by his numerous publications upon educational subjects. These works are in the highest repute, and have placed their author in the very front rank of authorship on both sides of the Atlantic. We in the South have long wanted such a periodical as this promises to be.-Memphis (Tenn.) Daily News.

The first number of THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION we received with unmingled pleasure, save in the regret that England has as yet nothing in the same field worthy of comparison with it. The plan of the present Journal originated with Mr. Barnard, to whom it seems to have been suggested by the Educational Exhibition held in St. Martin's Hall.- Westminster Review, for Jan., 1856.

Now that the veteran who edits THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION stands by himself, we not only auger for him great success, but for the cause of Education in all its departments, great good from his labors.—Pennsylvania School

Journal.
