Excerpt from Educational Journalism: An Address Before the New York State Teachers Association at Its Thirty-Sixth Annual Meeting, Saratoga Springs, August 7, 1881

But if we should omit those four grand old standards, the Pennsylvania and Indiana School Journals, the Ohio Educational Monthly, and Barnard's American Journal of Education, the average age of the rest is little more than 3 years. If the 43 which have disappeared are counted, the average is reduced belew 2 years. Truly their days are as the grass; and so are most of their projectors.

Of Educational Journals there are several distinct types.

The Official Organ.

Among the earliest was the Official Organ of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. An excellent example of this was

The District School Journal of the State of New York. 1840-1852.

The District School Journal had been started March 25, 1840, at Geneva, by Francis Dwight, as an eight page quarto (9x11). The prospectus urges that, while so many journals arc advocating the claims of parties and sects, it can need no apology to add one to the small number of them which are devoted to the interests of District Schools, but confesses that the real origin of the paper is the recommendation in Superintendent Spencer's last report, that New York have a paper, for official communication between the Department and the district officers. Mr. Spencer had said:

In Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Michigan, there are journals devoted exclusively to the promotion of common school education. They are conducted under the superintendence of the officers charged with that subject, and are made the organs of communicating to the subordinate officers, to teachers, and to the inhabitants of districts, the various information necesary to the correct discharge of their duties, and to prevent litigation. They contain also valuable essays upon reforms and improvements of the system, and discussions on various topics connected with education, calculated to awaken attention to the subject, and produce a more active and vigorous spirit in forwarding the cause. There can be no doubt that a similar Journal in this State might be made eminently useful in the same way, and it would certainly relieve this department from a very severe labor - that of answering inquiries as to the duties of officers, and resolving doubts and difficulties. - District School Journal, Vol. I, p. 2.

Accordingly, Mr. Dwight announces that the first place in this Journal will always be given to the decisions of the Superintendent and the official information to School Districts. But he also proposed to omit nothing which could be uesful to parents, teachers, and pupils.
