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.
