Educntio:uiI Association oftiie Confederate States. To Teachers and Friends of Education in ih Confederate States of America: We ha ve been appointed to make to yon the following statement: In accordance with a call issued by the Cfntn 1 A ? 1 wiuwawiti /i53uuiHiion or i^iort'li UBi'olinft , a higiy respectable meeting of teachers and ; friends of educat\pn met in Columbia, South j Carolina, on Tuesday the 28th of April. Six States were represented in meeting, about seventy delegates, and a permanent National Association was organized, having for its object the pro notion of the great causo of education , in the Confederate Stales. One of the most important subject before the meeting was the supply of suitable text books for our schools, and it was ascertained that many works are in course of preparation by citizens of our country, and that a number of elementary books have already been published, and are in great demand. The Assciation deemed it of vital importance to encourage, by all means consistent with its character and object, such useful and patriotic enterprises, and pledged its members to the use of home works in preference to any others of equal merit. To widen and strengthen the 'influence of, the Association it was recommended to form State Societies with similar objects, in each State of the Contederacy; and a resolution was passed urging on the authorities of the several j States the importance of State system of public schools, and flie appointment of a superintendent in each. It was also recomended that efforts be made to educate for teachers worthy young men disabled by the war from lUMnual labor, and means were adopted for the dissemination of the views of the Association on various subjects connected with the purposes of its organi, zation. It is believed that if the hearty co-operation of the teachers and friends of education in all parts of the Confederacy, in carrying put the objects of these movemens, can be secured, an immense amount of good can be ac complislicd. Our Association was profoundly impressed with the belief that now is the time to work; and that whatever is demanded by the wants of the country, sliouid he undertaken at once, and without waiting for better times. 1 Bct'.cr times, by the blessing of God,.ate to bo expected only from the diligent exertion of all classes in their appropriate spheres for the public welfare; and after those who labor in re ligious things no portion of the community can accomplish more for national development than those who, under Providence, direct the hearts and minds of'liie rising generation. We need not suggest to yon the great advantages in work of mutual counsel and co-operation. By coming together in National and State Assoations the teachers and friends of education gain important i information of each other and learn the wants and progress of different sections; they animate and encourage one another to greater efforts, while by this means injurious prejudices are worn away, a national and catholic spirit is fostued, an ' 'educational forces of the country are so u. r >d arid directed as greatly to onham e their influence and to secure that respect and consideration which they deserve. In the name of our National Association we invite vonr attention to the above statement n:d suggestions, and we venture to express tk >::e that yon will 11< ;?111y aid in promo t; . 1 iefulness of ihe movements now so cc' . cA V inaugurated in ?ur hefoved county -j. * i neeting of the Association will .< ? Atlanta, Georgia, on the firs't WV!' s iav ill September next, and in the meantime you are invited freely to communicate with those of us who reside in your respcc- J tive States and thus to enable us, if von cannot attend this meeting, to report your views in ro gard to the subjects herein embraced.
