The sentiment eneouched in the following quotation; “When thou happily seest thy Borne rare note worthly object in i travels, Make me partaker of thy happiness,” may with equal propriety be applied to such things seen at home, To make our friends and the public partakers of any information in our possession, by which they may be either pleased or profited is certain¬ ly a relative and moral duty bind¬ ing upon all. The writer attended the examination of the Ellaville High School, which were both rare and profitable, feels it his duty to make those who were not present, partakers of such information as he himself partook. The hour for I he examination ex- ercises having . . arrived, . , the .. class . In . orthography came first to the front. In this examination the professor’s method method of o teachim? teacning orthotrranhv ortnogiapnj was fully 1 !.iistrated. And it is due to the professor just here to remark, that his method, especially as to his dictation lessons, was a Are exposi- tiou of the fact, that instruction tan successfully be imparted even to children, when made practical as well as theoretical In connection » '"> th<J rule, most effectual in S.ug- . 11.1. apelllng; u'eve taught the Anal- yais, synthesis and etymology of words, also much incidental infor- matinn matron nertainim? pertaining to to the the orthoirra- oi ga pliy of the English language. And It is with confidence we venture the assertion that the professor’s dicta- tion class cannot be excelled in or- .. hogruphy , . by . An , withm .... the «ny hunts of Georgia, no, not even by tliose classes who have'taken their diplomas. Geography also seems to be a favorite with the professor. His examination in tliis inunirtant branch of the Sciences, gave evi- dence of his untiring labors and thorough instruction to pupils could grasp the idea more forcibly that Geography proper, is not only the written earth, but the veritable, physical earth with all of its apper- tenunces: political as well as natu- rai divisions,railroads,canals, towns, cities, gulf streams, ocean currents, trade winds, etc. The subject Of mathematics next claimed the attention of both pupils viuving. When rule, controlling the principles of the science wert given, illustrations with practical ___ L applications followed. Next came the crowning feature of the examination, and which ton such occasions) is most likely to command the attention of scholars. The latin called by some unin- formed, a dead language, breathed even with eloquent animation front the lips of the pupils. Youths who urder the average professor of a quarter of a century ago, would have spent the achlastlc in mastering the declen- slon of pronoun Hie Hec Hoc or the verb amo, under the instruction of Professor Stevens, for same period time, may now acquire a pretty gimeral idea of the whole structure of the Latin language. The same principles of instruction (synthesis and analysis) which characterized his method in teaching the English lnnguagc.were also used in controlling the difficul- ties of the Latin. I he spectators,who wert* present, with one accord ac- knowledged the Professor’s labors in Klluville a splendid success both for teacher and pupils. Only a few months ago, Professor Stevens came among the people of Schley county, a stranger, but, as a citizen, he has won the esteem of all; as a teacher he has won love of his pupils and the confidence of his patrons.

It is astonishing to a man who has nev¬ er tried it how land can be improv¬ ed by turning under clover. His crop of grain will improve from 25 to 100 per cent, after every turn of a good stand of it. I know no means of improving land so fast or cheap. Wish every acre of Geor¬ gia’s land was covered with it. A. A. Camp. The samples of clover and timo¬ thy alluded to, each measured five feet and nine inches in length, While it is true that every section of Georgia is not so well adapted it to the grasses as Polk county, yet j? believed tl.aj some one or more of the cultivated species, of some of the native kinds, will be found prof- itably adapted to every county in the State. The chief obstacle in the way of successful grass culture in this State is found 111 the fact that the life . long business of th» agerage farmer lias been to destroy grass. It has been considered the vreat emmi-V to cotton culture—a sort of unavoidable evil. In the face of the fact that the indigenous lux- grasses of the country grow the so far-, uriantly—often in spite of the mer’s best efforts to destroy; of established truth that the most sue- cessful farming 111 all countries is; bused upon grass and stock; and of such instances of continued success. as that of Mr. Camp, it is induced surprising to that farmers are not change b their methods and give more attention to the culture of grass and clover. What if all, or even half, of the toil and sweat that hai l been expended during the last months In keeping the cotton crop clear of grass, had been mtel- ligentlyand skillfully applied to its culture? The commissioner expresses the hope that the farmers of the State will repeat the experiments sug- gested in Mr. Westbrook’s letter, which Isas follows: “I desire to call the attention of the farmer, through the medium of your department, to some disover- R ‘ S 1 have ,nrtde - 1,1 Ma >' 1885 > 1 n °- ticed the leaves of my Shockley ap- p] e trees were rusting or mildew- ing.
