Examination of the Ellavllle
High School.
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. May his merit be
rewarded by increased and continu-

We hope that the people in and
j around Ellavllle will shake off the
lethargy hitherto had, with regard
J to the school here, and take hold
with a determination to co-operate
with Prof.Htevens in building up one
of the best schools in the state. Na-
1 tore which has done as much if not
more for us than any other people
both as to health and beauty ot lo-

« EAgOM HlhL, Ga., by July 2, 1886.
Dear Sir: I send you express to-
day a sample of clover and timothy

inches in length. While they are is
among the best of my crop (and

have as fine a country for clover as
the sun ever shown upon. AH that
is necessary to succeed is to sow
the seed on properly prepared is land. tine
My entire crop of the same
every year. I have some four hun¬
dred acres seeded to them. 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-

ticed the leaves of my Shockley ap-
p] e trees were rusting or mildew-
ing. I built fires on the east side of

twice, when a damp east wind was
blowing, so as to cover the trees
with the vapor. This destroyed the
blight on the leaves and saved the
lu,1 £ 3 of n, y traes » so that they ma-
tured discovered their fruit by beautifully accident that the
I
sulphurous fumes would also de-
stroy the rust on wheat, or prevent
its development. On the 25th May

If this means of preventing rust
