Because the evils of sectarian strife affect educational interest most severely there; because educational institutions are most needed there; and because the moral soil, like the natural, bears fruit so quickly and so abundantly. But why not endow large boarding institutions already established? Because it is contrary to the grand design of Providence to take children away from parents to educate them; because it is more economical to provide superior teachers and school-houses in cities and large towns, than to turn funds into brick and mortar to congregate great communities of the young away from parents, home, and all domestic pursuits; and because those who need to go to boarding-schools can find homes in private families in large towns. But why not have our public schools on this model? Because it can not be done until the public, by fair experiments, have tested the value of such institutions. So long, too, as foreign lands are emptying all classes into our country, and their children enter all public schools, it will be impossible to bring the children of the wealthy classes into them. In conclusion, the author asks every true woman who reads this to help in this effort for the _women and the children_ of our country. If she has money to give, it can be sent to our agent, Rev. William L. Parsons, No. 11 Cliff Street, New York. If she has _time_ to devote to the work, let her send $1 25 by mail to Harper & Brothers, New York, and she will receive, without farther expense, the author's two works, one on Domestic Economy, and the other on Physiology and Physical Training, designed as text-books for schools. She can then _use her influence_ to introduce them, while the author's profits, as they ever have been, will be devoted to this object. The following is the Constitution of the association and the names of the ladies and gentlemen who superintend the enterprise. Most of them have been practical teachers, most are practical housekeepers, while they represent seven different religious denominations: CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN'S EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. ART. 1. The name of this Society is the AMERICAN WOMAN'S EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. ART. 2. The object of this Association is to aid in securing to American Women a liberal education, honorable position, and remunerative employment _in their appropriate profession_; the distinctive profession of woman being considered as embracing the training of the human mind, the care of the human body in infancy and in sickness, and the conservation of the family state.
