Excerpt from Transactions of the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Western Literary Institute and College of Professional Teachers: Held in Cincinnati, October, 1838 The glory of this age is its educational Spirit. In our own State alone upwards Of one thousand common school houses have been erected during the last year. And every day brings us tidings of educational movements in all parts of our country. Europe, also, is deeply interested in this good work. Who has not heard of the Prussian school system? France, with her enlightened leaders, Cousin and Guizot, has caught the spirit of tit: times. And to name no more, in England the school-master is emphatically abroad. Even torpid Asia and long-benighted Africa are waking from their slumbers. Schools are there springing up, at every accessible point, under missionary influence. And that extraordinary man, Mohammed Ali, has had teachers for his Egyptian dominions instructed in England and France.
