§ 31. Educational Periodicals.

Periodical publications devoted to education made their appearance. In 1818-19 there was published in New York The Academician, the first American educational periodical. Its standard was high, its appeal was made in no pettifogging spirit:

O ye, whom science choose to guide

Her unpolluted stream along,

Adorn with flowers its cultured side

And to its taste allure the young.
