[EDUCATION]. The Australian Journal of Education, conducted by a committee .. under the Council of Education. Volume I.
[Sydney, Jan - Dec 1868. octavo 12 issues together in contemporary half roan (battered but solid enough); viii,440pp. Browning and spotting; some pencil marginalia. With general title, preface and index. ¶ The Council of Education was the result of Parke’s 1866 Public Schools Act, the foundation of modern public education here, and this appears to be the first trade journal for teachers in the colony. It is for the most part an eclectic gathering of practical information and guidance - though a decent proportion is spent reviewing policy practice and the state of education generally. There is a stiff rebuke of Badham’s criticism of the Council. The first article however is on teachers’ superannuation, the subject with the most entries in the index.
