Report of Standing Committee on Exam
inations of the South Georgia Col
lege, Thomasville, Ga.
To the President ami Trotter* of the
South Georgia College:
Your standing committee on class
examinations, education and methods*
ete., beg to report that they have per
formed as best they could, in the face
of many hindrances, the duties with
which thepwere charged. Imperative
engagements connected with the pri
vate business of individual members
of the committee, prevented them
from attending the examinations in a
body, and two were, from the same
cause, unable to witness any part of
the exercises, hence this report must
lack the weight and authority that
might attach to one embodying the
impressions of the entire committee.
The matters to which our attention
was most largely directed were the
methods employed for imparting in
struction, and the discipline enforced
The actual results attained were of
course difficult to be determined with
anv certainty, but the tendency of the
methods exhibited to us, would seem
more easy of ascertainment. In Latin,
.your committee witnessed the exami
nation of hut two classes—the farthest
advanced and the primary—and of
the pupils comprising these only a
few were tested—orally. On the
whole the performance was satisfac
tory and there was exhibited a degree
of familiarity with the general struct
ure, with the idioms of the language
sufficient to justify the expectation of
future thoroughness, provided the
progress already made be followed up
with reasonable assiduity.
The mere fact that into our own,
the most composite of nil languages,
the Latin enters in larger proportion
than all other foreign tongues com
bined, ought of itself to secure its re.
tention in the curricula of all schools
of superior instruction, and its thor
ough and philosophic study. We
were pleased to observe from the ex
amination of the two glasses mentioned,
that greater pains had been bestowed in
leading the pupils into an appreciation
of the spirit and beauties of the lan
guages, and showing them its wide
agency in forming our own, tlinn in
securing a familiarity with formulas
and rules of construction, of which
indeed intelligent apnlicntion cannot
be made until nftcr a general knowl
edge ot the style and idioms of the lan
guage, and familiarity with the use
and force of its parts of speech have
been acquired. With this, as with
our own language, the ability to use*
and to understand when used by others,
its words as vehicles for the expression
of ideas aud feelings must precede a
philosophical knowledge of its forms
and inflections, and of the rules that
older scholars ' have drawn from an
analytical study of its language and
literature. Culture, of the latter kind
will come easier, aud come later, if it
comes at all. Hence your committee
neither expected, nor were inclined to
applaud, a mere readiness in repeating
rules and formulae. ' Wo have but
one criticism to suggest as to the
method of teaching Latin in your
college, and that is in regard to the
style of accent, aud pronunciation.
Wc found particu'ar members of the
most advanced section using one sort
of pronunciation and one kind of
accent for vowels and consonants,
while others affected a wholly diflerent
style; this disfigured the general per
formance, nnd it is an impropriety
that must be remedied. Let strict
uniformity be observed in this respect,
and as between the methods in vogue,
commonly called the English and the
continental, your committee incline to
the former as being more in conform
ity with the current pronunciation
of our own language, and so tending
the more readily to disclose to the
learner the original derivation and
signification of that numerous croup
of English words made up of, or ueriv-
cn from the Latin. Eacn pupil should
be regularly and carefully trained to
read the text without attempting to
translate; nnd more especially in read
ing poetry is this exercise important,
since in no other way can the measure
be recognized or appreciated. This!
same suggestion your committee desire
to submit with reference to the study
of the French language, in which they
heard a very creditable exercise by
a small class composed of, with one
exception, young ladies. We attend
ed the examination of three classes, or
sections, in Arithmetic, and two in
Algebra—the primary aud more ad
vanced, and saw gratifying evidences
of careful training, and practical ap
preciation among the pupils of each
grade. We have however to report, a»
we have done before, that the habit
of committing processes to memory,
and of going thiough them mechani
cally prevails to some extent, and
while this is an evil impossible to be
wholly eradicated, wc insist that all
possible expedients he resorted to, to
reduce it to a minimum, and thus
without regard to the probable conse
quence of confining to inferior grades
and classes, such as from imperfect
training, or lack of natural aptitude
are unable to grasp the rationale of
each new process. The intellectual
safety of the pupil demands this, to
say nothing of the epidemic tolly of
filling the memory with operations
and formula; which, so far as the pu
pil’s apprehension goes, are neither
the results of necessary deduction from
known premises and principles, nor
attainable solely by the methods of
right reasoning. In the branches of
arithmetic aud elementary algebra,
we cannot commend loo highly the
use of the oral aud illustrative meth
ods, and the rigid application to every
pupil of the ability to understand
practically, and to explain orally and
intelligently, each successive*process,
as a test and passport to class promo
tion.
In what arc known as the interme
diate and primary grades, taught dur
iug the current year, by Miss Fisher
and Miss Williams, respective^! your
committee fouud most gratifying evi
dence of patient, faithful and success
ful work, and we greatly regret that
the entire Board could not have wit
nessed the proficiency displayed by
the pupils, nnd the affectionate and
faithful interest manifested by these
good and wise women in the improve
ment of the crowds of children en
trusted to their training. They surely
deserve the heartiest commendation
and the most substantial encourage
ment at the hands of the trustees, and
from the entire community. Miss
Williams has taught an average of
forty-eight, aud Miss Fisher and av
erage of forty pupils during the term
now ended. This 'snen^s an undue
amount of work, and wc recommend
that their labors be lessened, either by
an increase in the corps of teachers,
or by a rc arrangement of the grades.
The examination of the class in
German wns attended by a
faithful member of the Board, who,
though not a member of the commit
tee, kindly consented to assist us in a
matter beyond our ability rightly to
appreciate, Mr. Joseph Jerger informs
us that this language is being cor
rcctly nnd thoroughly taught, and
that this class displayed a gratifying
familiarity with its structure and
pronunciation,
There were somewhat more than
thirty separate classes or sections
taught during the current, year,-
formed from tne three or four estab
lished grades. Your committee earn
estly advise, that this arrangement be
changed, so that there will be not ex
ceeding two or three classes to each
grade, and this suggestion, we trust,
will be communicated by the presi
dent ot the board to the president of
the college, in terms that will secure
its adoption.
Your committee observed with sat
isfaction, among the pupils of both
sexes and of all ages and stages of
advancement, unmistakable evidences
of kind feelings, and of orderly and
polite deportment within the class
room, aud on the college grounds;
and we take especial pleasure in re
porting the absence of all rudeness
and annoying conduct on the part of
students towards citizens living in the
vicinity of the college. During the
term now ended there were but two
instances of infliction of corporal pun
ishment among tho older boys, these
being fully justified and required by
tho conduct of the delinquents.
Among the younger pupils this spo-
cies ofaificipline, has been reduced to
the lowest minimum consistent with
subordination nnd effective school
work.
Your committee were offered every
facility by President Lovejoy and
Professor Wright for cxnming the op
erations of the college, and observing
the result of the work done hi each
grade; and boar cheerful testimony to
the earnestness and zeal of both these
gentlemen.
In conclusion we desire to express
our regiet at the widespread and la
mentable want of interest in tho train
ing of those who attend the college,
on the part of parents and guardians.
This is not only a fatal hindrance to
real and rapid progress ou the part of
the scholars; a reproach to those who
ar§ responsible for their efficiency and
usefulness and a discouragement to
teachers, but it is incompatible with
anything like the formation of charac
ter, and in moulding the materials in
hand for the proper discharge of tho
duties of society and citizenship. No
wealth of endowment, no excellence
of educational methods employed, no
amount of learning and devotion on
the part of instructors will avail to
confer perfect training and entire pro
proficiency, unless the work of the
school-room is supplemented and car
ried forward at home. If the most
important of all earthly interests, lie
treated with neglect and indifference
by parents aud guardians, how can
unthinking youth be expected to es
teem it as anything more than a for
mal and irksome affair, to lie dis
patched speedily and then thrown
aside as unprofitable and unpleasant.
Respectfully submitted,
William D. Mitciiell.
