Editor Or ingeb?rg Times : I am glad that the Editor has made some comments on mine of last week. Others may have misunder stood, as he did. I am much pleased that he has given me space for.setting a few matters in a different light, but I think, or expect to be able to show that Dr. Newell is not so far wrong as might be supposed. The forbear ance of the reader is asked, for the continued discussion, because of the vital importance of the question. 1 take it that. Dr. N. had reference, as I had, to country schools whore only a limited and much interrupted time is at the command of parents and pupil. 'I he Editor has shown where the difficulty lies, in quoting from Dr. Calkins of N. Y. "Children from live toten should be taught facts and train the percep tion." This no doubt includes the . letters, spelling, reading, &e. Five years schooling? "from ten to fifteen train the memory by Geopraphy, Declamation, Are. From fifteen to twenty, Mathematics, Logic; Are." Tliis gives'fifteen ydarS schooling. Why you may teach everything reasonable in that time. We will drop live years, (and then many here haven't as 111.1113 months oil and on.) These gentlemen sticklers for thor ough training evidently never lived in a Southern pine wootl. They seem to take it for granted that, everybody has ten or fifteen years continued tuition without nj/s and onti. Let us liken these; nfi's and ons, say to candle ends, as everybody knows what they are. Thb whole, spelling, definitions,' and 'grammar c:in be learned faster, and much more pleas antly by ^extensive reading, even of the paper of the day. Of correct speaking nnd writing, it is certain that if a child hear noth ing but pure Latin, he will not aprak ?cannot speak or write anything else. The same of French, the same of English. But, if his parents and associates speak jargon he is bound to follow. ??*" . . .1 . -1 efficiency with the labors of the ex amining oomiiiittce. He misunder stands. Tue word effccichcy has reference to the effects of the teach er's labors in the school room. This should he looked to by the trustees, but isn't. The examining committee is our surety as to competency?-so far (10 complaints have been heard. I am indebted to this committee for per sonal favors, which I am glad to ac knowledge here. I am interested in the well-doing of our schools, and the Editor is also, no doubt, interested jis Commissioner. For that reason my paper w as sent to him. It is to be hoped that our school fund will produce better results than the $10,000 voted for the Tea experi ment at Sumiricrvi lie. We learn from Win. Sanders that three hundred dollars is the expense at tending the outlay of sixty dollars in value of labor. We were about passing our cups down for Siimmerviile tea, but will wait until the mansion is renovated, the dry lake bridged with iron, and other works so necessary to the cultivation 0/ tea be concluded. They don't consider that the time of children sent to a room where half are in and half out alternately is irrecoverably lost. I really believe if there were no funds, there would be more and bet ter schools in some places. Now, as to Grammar, I would not be understood as objecting to it. a I together; but syntax and prosody require a very matured capacity; yet it is some times, to satisfy some fond parents, attempted too soon. It is like puttilig a tough mouthful, into the month of an infant without teeth. 'The writer does not profess to be an expert grammarian; and, although he thumbed the books as usual in boyhood, in the limited way he is speaking of, he was as ignorant of; tlic niore abtrusc parts as lie was of.Greek. He does not object to the primary study, if we have the caudle ends to spare. No doubt it develops the memory, and like almost any other study, has much to do with the iliat'iring of the mind. Dictionary', well we used to spell dictionary, beinhing at A, and by the time we were at, B, the rial would give*out, and the next teacher would start, us at A again. Hut in the mean time the "American," the par ent of the blue-back, saved us from a d icti on a ry*death. It is quite easy, so far as spelling goes. First the primary word, then one. or other of the various terminations. But I think it requires the whole caudle, to learn definitions clear through. ' For each let us allow a months tui tion. With one little bit of candle, we conquer A, B, C?it is certain wc have to begiti at the b?ginriing, no matter what stupendous terms may be used in theories. With sevenil others wc u\tiy be "allowed* to spell and roadvand with the few ends w.e have left; we certainly^ vraut tb study as much arithmetic as possible, writ ting and Geography,'and nowl think our light is gone. In fact more has been allowed fiiguratively, oh thik paper thdn many .Southern boys have. What will the' gentlemen do now who ''jump'tip and vociferate for the superstructure''^!'rough the windows of which ?iic student may view the promised land of erudition. There are good schools that are nursed by*patrons, and there rtre good teachers, that arc encouraged, and kept from year to 3*011 r. These or course could no"; have been alluded to in mine of lust week. Now conies, the ineuciis?the old man of the sea, that weighs down the school fund sti1.. inenoss. A lie^-on ?our?bncks-and-b*t the j-Vhool-run -itself?dream. "If they depend upon the fund alone; it is too small to tlo the whole work," (Kd.) They do it in most instances. Thoj* lean upon the public, school until it is a broken stick. They send fifty, sixty, or seventy children to sonic poor, tor tured, distracted, smothered school marm, when a few Hollars contributed l?y the parents, would hire an assis taut and make t he school a .success. M. l. I3alt?Vcin*i A Proplteli? Speech. A year ago 1 sat on the Gloriette at the palace of Schon'brann, near Vienna, engaged in a conversation which recurs to mo frequently tri these days of our peril. .My com panionw as aged lJ0, clear-headed and still young in his feelings. He was as keenly alive to all going on in the wide, wide world as he had been long ago in the days jpuci) he had been an active and somewhat prominent figurein politics and society. He bad entertained every eminent American, including General Grant,] who had visited Vicuna, and few men at home or study more carefully our institu tions then did he, and does he to this moment. We were talking of Amer ica. It is possible that 1 was talk iiig a little boastfully; at least, it was with much pride. The soldiers guarding the palace entrances and the bo !y of tii.'

TIte State formal Institute. GnicKxviLnE, Aug. Hth, ISvSi Kihlor (-ninjcburij Times: i Tfic second State Normal Insti tute was organized Aug. 2nd., aud has eons- iiieutly bceu iu 'session almost two.weeks. Notwithstanding many disadvantages as to the inade quate accommodations.&e., it has far surpassed iu numbers and in jUftc amount (if work' accomplished in the same length of time, the Institute of last year. The faculty is composed of the faculty of the last 1 hsCitaite, reinforc ed by several valuable additions. Prof. Soldan, the principal] ho popu lar, and so much beloved by his pupils last year, and, if possible, more so this year, is indefatigable iu his efforts to make tha Institute a success, arid ti means of improvement to those ir. attendance and, no Lette h Or can listen to o.ie of his lectures on lhe?vietK'.c of education, without be coming deeply, impressed with the dignity . and importance of his pro fession. The course of instruction is the same as last year, with the addition of instruction in optional,, studies, incliniing Merman, r'rcheli, Physical, Geography, Algebra, Penmanship Music ant] Calisthenics. The length of the sessioiis is also increased to tive hours, and to six days, a week in stead of live as last year. A very noticeable fat t this year, is the interest displayed iu the Insti tute, by the .eminent educators of the State. There have been present iu the Institute at dilleront limes. Dr. Curry of Va., Prof. Miles of Co., Pres. Carlisle, ami lYofsVS'milh anil Game well of Woll'ord College, Dr. Dander, Gen. Eaton, Profs. Dibble and Townes, besides many others promi nent in education iu the State. The eitizens of Greenville also display much interest, as is evinced by the presence of large numbers daily. . Public lectures have been deliver ed before the Institute, by Gen. Baton, Dr, Curry, Prof. Miles and Pros. Carlisle, each of whom was fully master of his subject, and baud led it iu such a muuucr as to elicit telligent au'dlclft'eS" ''"'??iw> ii In answer to a call to the teachers to form a State Teacher's Associa tion, about one hundred and twenty live teachers assembled in the Opera House on the afternoon of the Uth inst. An Association was organized with Dr. Carlisle as Pres., and other prominent men as officers, and a large number of members were en rolled. Addresses were delivered by Profs. Archer anc* Davis. Several othe; meetings of the association were held which were addressed by Col. Thompson, Pres. Town es, Prof. Dib ble and Dr. Carlisle. The Associa tion was started under very favorable circumstances, but it is hopod that by the aid of the teachers it may be made a u&eful, live, organization. The Southern Educational Monthly was chosen as the ollicial organ of t he Association. Hut whore are the teachers? How many can slay at home and feel that tiny do not require instruction iridis cipline and the science of education and the common school branches, and more especially the educating inllucnce of social inter course with other teachers, on which so much stress is laid by our belov ed principal? If the. teachers but realized of what advantages they were depriv ing themselves, if they were fully aroused to the importance and mag nitude of tile work, instead of the two or three hundred now in 'attend ance, there would soon be live hund red, earnest iu the pursuit of the instruction to lit them for future work; It is not yet too late. Let teachers (nine from all parts of the State, and there will not be one w ho will not return to his work with great er enthusiasm and earnestness, und with a thankful heart for the Insti tute of 1881.
