These scholarships will in no case be continued to students wliose rank and standing is low, whose general demeanor is ob- ; jectiouable, who do not give promise of usefulness as teachers, or whose health or other circum- 1 stances prevent attendance on or 1 performance of college duties. < Each county is entitled to as I many scholarships as it has rep " I .

Precedence in admission and accommodation of new students will be given to scholarship students and those who have passed the local examination for admission, and are best equipped in health, maturity and scholarship to do the work of the institution.

Group 1 admits to the course leading t6 the degrea of Bachelor of Arts. Group 2 admits students to the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, and to a Special TwoYear Course outlined for those who have a profession or business in view and find it impossible to give the time necessary to secure an academi? degree. Group 3 admits students to a partial course permitting them to take such college courses as they are prepared to pursue. Students desiring to apply for the B. A. or B. S. degree, but unable to offei- for entrance on Group 1 or Group 2, may enter on Group; 3 and take a partial course the first year. . By outside study and assistance, they can prepare themselves in the subject in which they aro deficient, and taking up this subject the second year, remove the irregularity.

Students who have passed in the greater part of the subjects required for admission are admitted on conditton. All conditions must be removed by the time of the Christmas Recess. WHERE flEN WERE nADE (From Ramsey's Histoid) of South Carolina.) / Besides what has been done by the State, and by religious sects and private societies for the advancement of learning 'and the diffusion of religious knowledcrfc among the inhabitants, there aro several private schools, both in Charleston and the country for teaching classics , and mathematical learning. Among these, one under the care of the Reverend Dr. Waddell of Abbeville district, deserves particular notice. In 'k ? - A from seventy to eighty students;, are instructed in the Latin, Greek and French languages, and such of the arts and sciences as are necessary to prepare a candidate for admission into the higher classes at the northern colleges. The school-house is a plain log building in the midst of the woods in a hilly and healthy country, and too small to accommodate all the scholars in the hours of study. To obviate this inconvenience they are permitted and . encouraged to build huts in the vicinity. These are the rough carpentry of the pupils, or are constructed by workmen for about four dollars. In these when the weather is cold, and under the trees when it is warm, the different classes study. To the common school or recitation room they instantly repair when called for by the name of the Homer, the Xenophon, the Cicero, the Horace, or Virgil class, or by- the name of the author whose writings they are reading. In a moment they appear before their preceptor, and with order and decorum recite their lessons? are critically examined in grammar and syntax?the construction of sentences?the formation of verbs?the antiquities of Greece and Rome?the history and geography of the ancients, illustrative of the author whose works they recite; and are taught to relish his beauties, and enter into his spirit. Thus class succeeds to class without the formality of definite hours for study or recreation till all have recited. In the presence of the students assembled a solemn and appropriate prayer, imploring the Eternal in their behalf, begins and ends the exercises of each day. In this manner the classics are taught 190 miles from the sea-coast. The glowing periods of Cicero are read and admired. The melody and majesty of Homer delight the ear and charm the understanding in the very spot, and undei the identical | trees, which sixty years ago re-[ sounded with the war-whoop and horrid veilings of savage Indians. Of the large number that attend this school, nine in ten are as studious as' their health will permit, and stb orderly in their conduct as their friends could -wish. Far removed from ODe dissipation of cities, and among sober, industrious, and religious people, they must be studious or lose all character and be pointed at' by the finger of scorn. If disposed to be idle, they cannot be so otherwise than by themselves; for the place will not furnish them with associates. Monitors are appointed to superintend each sub-division of the students; ana sucn as transgress the rules of the school are reported once in every week. Over them a court is held. They are allowed to justify or extenuate. A. summary decision is made. Though corporal punishipent is not wholly excluded, it is rarely inflicted: The discipline of the institution respects the pride of youth, and is chiefly calculated to repress irregular conduct by attaching to it shame and dishonor. The sagacious preceptor quickly fiuds out the temper and disposition of each student, and is the first to discover abberration's . from the straight line of propriety. By nipping mischief in the bud, he prevents its coming to any serious height. By patience in teaching, and minutely explaining what is difficult, be secures the affections of his pupils and smoothes their labors; while at the same time judicious pmise ro*ses ambition, and kindles in their breasts nn ardent love for improvement, and an eagerness to deserve and gain applause.
