(Educational Column. CONDUCTED BT Prof. W. ?>. Scliocnl>cre:. Mr. Editor.?Poor health is my apology for not sooner defending the teachers against oppressive and rigorous treatment I said teachers should have a respectable education, but the present mode of examination subjects them to degradation. One of our respectable Board says he might "be nonplussed with these questions selected by the State Superintendent. T admire his candor. I resnect him as a first-class teacher, as first grade. popular first grade teacher iu AikeuCoTrslj^told me he missed sadly in orthographyT^SftiJv a Board of Examiners fail so that tliey gave it nP> though one of the Boardvtold.me had four diplomas. But W. 'D. S. would create the impression t^at it is not so "horrible" after all; ^that there are but 40 questions to \answer, and *20 words to spell acd 10 v?ours for the performance of the task.^equal to 15 minutes to the question leaving out the spelling. Now a compound and complex ser tence sometimes to be parsed and analyzed, its grammatical Und logical subjects and predicates distinguished and that, too, by the tedious process of writing, TV. D. S knows, will require the 15 minutes for the work, without preparation for the work, besides other questions which will take more time. Again, if TV. D. S. construes the 40 numbers as only 40 questions, I have misunderstood language and what a question is, there being several questions from one number to another. I can not, therefore, accept his apology in reference as to time and small task. I have seen the highest college graduates badly perplexed with new text books, an hour at a time. A student under one of the most scholastic German instructors I ever knew, told me his instructor would sometimes become so perplexed in Algebra, he would have to relax his mind by recreation to succeed. Now we who are greatly these mens inferiors, must answer of 10 questions to obtain first grade, questions of which we must know nothing, hear nothing and ask noth? ; ing, must do the work in 10 hours "7 Well, for my own part, I must con* f fes9 it no ordinary task, an fofair test. I have seen various kinds of examinations. I have been on the Academical stage as a student, and on it as a critic. I knew the time of preparation. I heard the monitors. I inew the preparation in other schools as in my own. I have seen Theological examinations. I have heard the medical and law students report of their examinations, but nothing has been equal to the rigor exercised in the examination of Public School Teachers. The fairest and most efficient method I have seen, since the adoption of Public Scnools, to determine the qualifications and grades of teachers, is by a Board of impartial, practical, intelligent and literary men to manago the whole work. Under present circumstances I lay no charge against the Boards of Examiners. They only carry out the State Superintendent's orders. S. M. S. The .Educational Column is for once accomplishing the purpose for which it was established, viz: to serve as a medium for the exchaoge of views and opinions on subjects of general interest to teachers. I hope that how, since a beginning has beeu made, other teachers will occasionally favor us, and I hope that in the future I may be so fortunate as to share the opinions of my correspondents. In spite of all, so ably said by S. M. S., I can not agree with him yet. He defends the teachers in a mauner as to do them but an indiflfereut service. All he says runs up to this: You expect too much of the teachers ?I have taken some pains to inform myself as to the manner in which teachers' examinations are carried on in other States aud what I have learned, so far, leads me to believe that the standard of South Carolina ie beloiv that of other States. This fact is known to educators, generally, all over the land and I think that we, as teachers, should insist that our ...11 '!- _ . . autuonues raise, a* won ux jjussiuic, the standard of requirement as high as that in any State in the Union. Were S. M. S. to advocate such measures then I would consider him, indeed,. a defender of the teachers. At preteat he says: "You are too hard on us; you treat us unfairly, you degrade us." If it is degrading a teacher to ask him what he knows, then, to use the words of my correspondent, j "I Lave misunderstood langu?ge and j what degrading is." Next the question of time. I have j kept a record and from it can show 1 that good time has been made by so , large a majority of the successful can-1 didates, (S. M. S. included) that the' attempt to degrade the teachers by : not giving them time enough to tell! ' what they know, must be considered 7 an utter failure. One lady came to j the school-house at 11 o'clock, answered the 40 n unifiers and spelled ; the 20 words till 1 55 and made a splendid average. At another exam | inatiou a young man first answered the numbers of first grade and then those for the second and completed : all, long before sunset. Another time j a young gcut came punctually at 8 ; o'clock; "I am iu a hurry"he said, "I want to attend the picnic at and so he did after answering his ! numbers most satisfactorily. All this: ! does not show want of time. My ex- i . ; perience as Examiner is that if teach- J i ! ers know v.hal to say they always have : | I ample time to say it in. Finally I must correct a very ex- j I cusable mistake on the part of S. M. | j S. He says that the teacher must j reach an aveage of 85; this is not so; j 80 only is required and we have inv.a- j riaJAy passed in all who came near 80 j a if their shortcomings were in only o/u?! ^ I branch, because we know the truth? | illustrated by S. M. S. with the learned I German professor who was deficient in Algebra aud the first grade Aiken ; teacher who missed sadly in Orthography?that persons of otherwise excellent capacities may want a little in j one branch or another. The cause j of the mistake, I suppose, lies in the i fact that come certificates have yet j i on their margin the eld regulation i I requiring 8? for first, 7 for second ! aod 6 for third grade. This is now !changed; every grade has different) j questions (numbers) given it and all ' grades must reach the same average. j o o j Mr. W. D. Schoenberg tendered i his resignation as a member of the Board of Examiuers of Lexington County, the same has been accepted and G. D. Haltiwanger Esq., has beeD appointed to fill the vacancy. Neglecting God's House. ) Person^who neglect the servicjjs of God's hours and the means of grace, wonld do well to examine, in the light of God's word, their reason for this course. Faith cometh by bearing. "Blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it." "It is our duty | to hear the word of God and keep it. It is our duty to hear the word and not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. Now, indifferent brother, what are your reasons for yonr disobeying this Scriptural injunction? Why do you wilfully absent yourself from God's house? Why will you no longor hear the | word as it is proclaimed by God's ap-j jpointmeutin the sanctuary for the) i comfort and nourishment of souls? j I Do you say you do not like the j I Dreaeher? Weil, what is the matter ! j with him ? Does he preach the truth ? J ; Then you should contiuue to attend service; for it is the truth, cot a manpleasiDg preocher that you should seek in the house of God. You ; should bear with the infirmities of j i your pastor, aud kindly and privately , | tell him of his faults, but by no means ; i neglect hearing the word. Do you sav some of the members | i J ! have mistreated you ? Ah, how many ; stay away from God's house for this ; j reason! There cau be very little love for the Lord, very little longing and ; sighiug for salvation, in persons who j : neglect the means of grace for such a i trifling reason. Would yon refuse to ; feed your body just because somebody sat at your table that offended you? Nobody ever starved to death in this way. Lather thau starve you . would eat by the side of your bitterest! ; enemy. Yet you are starving your i immortal soul in the midst of plenty, \ just because some oue has offended you. Yon will uot euter the house of | : God, yon will not hear the word, par- j take of the Holly Supper, and join ; with the congregation in public wor ship, simply because some one has! offended you. Ah, your heart is not j right. There is a want of true love there. Your condition is a pitiable ooe. You have turued from the, Lord and are in the service of the devil. Stop and reflect before it is too lata?The Presbyterian. i H We haven't a particle of confidence ? in those extra National Southern , Democrats who admit that secession t was treason. It is senseless for a c Southern man to make the confession * of a fool or a knave that he may reap tho reward of a spaniel. !?
