Excerpt from The English Journal of Education, 1848, Vol. 2: Specially Designed as a Medium of Correspondence Among the Heads of Training Colleges, Parochial Clergymen, and All Promoters of Sound Education, Parents, Sponsors, Schoolmasters, Pupil Teachers, Sunday-School Teachers, Etc We wish to render the periodical practically useful to elemen tary teachers, especially to that large host of youthful instructors whom the recent arrangements of Her Majesty's Government have summoned into action, and upon whose intellectual progress so much of the future fortunes of education in this country, under the Divine blessing, depends. We Openly avow that our desire is not so much to express strong opinions on the politics of the Educational Question, as to present to the reader useful papers on method, examples of lessons, histories of remarkable educational institutions, &c. In short, we are anxious to show how plain things should be taught in a plain, and therefore philosophical, way.
