The Empire :Thursday, October 15, 1868, single work column

The Empire devotes a substantial portion of its editorial column to applauding the endeavours of Charles Badham who is seeking to 'exert some extensive influence for good throughout the colony' by offering to teach men French and Latin. The Empire hopes that Badham will succeed in this enterprise and that 'the aid he kindly furnishes to those who are struggling for the attainment of knowledge in the face of difficulties may lead them to the attainment of increased power, and by adding to the intellectual resources of the young men of the colony contribute in no stinted measure to advance Australia'.
