Answers.
Some time ago we vontmed to ask
one or two questions, expecting there
by to get the views of the teuchors, so
as to create a lively and withal a sen
sible discussion. But has any one
answered? It may bo you wrote j'otu
answers but forgot to send Iben?..
. Ali ! that wprd "forgot," how familial'
it sounds to your ears. There are
but two reasons we can assign for
your neglect, aud they are: A square
.rel'iisalj or ignorance. Does the shoe
'Iii? Don't all speak at once.
In our attempt to answer the ques
tions, wc hope no one will think for a
eminent that we presume to be infillli
?hie. ' Wo only speak what we believe,
and our saying that this is correct
or that iucol'icct, does not make itso.
We hope you understand us then not
as a critic, but an humble seeker after
knowledge. Boar with us then while
.wo present our opinion on the ques
tions asked.
We third; the verb "are," ns used
in the sentcn.CC, "seven times live are
<ihjrujffcivc4' Samt Aller Mike exprcsj
?Sioils, is ihcpneoly arid here are our
reasons : Wo say seven limes live is
thirty-live, because we evidently mean
seven taken live times in thirty-live.
Suppose wo say, seven limes one are
'seven, wc would then make "times"
the subject of the verb, when really
iL is "one," and according to some
grammarians "times" is in the objec
tive of number. Again, try, "twice
two are lour." Incorrect, for the
word "two" is used as a singular
noun, the name of a number. We
,considcr the adverb "twice" not in
construction 'v.i'thjit a).d therefore
does not make, it pltual. Again, in
a proportion ? : 10:: 12: 2-1, we <io
hot read are to 10 as 12 are to 21,
but is in eaeli ease. These views are
.not particularly our own, but have
been culled from grammarians con
suited. Finally on this point, would
it be incorrect to make ".seven times
live" the subject? Then the verb
will be singular. In eilherca.se, in
our opinion, the Verb should be sin
gular. Are we right? If not, give
i;s light.
School Districts. ;
Thp board has indeed devised lib
eral things p: setting, o(filownships
into school districts. B :t some of us
i Cache I s nie gelling a little shaky
about the knees for fear that ihis spa
cious temple of learning which thev
have creeled has not a very solid
foundation to rest upon. In 1113'
township we only had six public
schools lasl year aud they did not
run hut. .two and a half mouths. By
the new plan we will have; eight. II
the school lax is not increased in
some Way the free tchools will be
open so slioit ii lime thai they will be
of, liltlc .beiielil lo ihe county. How
1 ilo wish that the poll lax would go
jit) the dogs ! 1 do not mean that we
ought to dispense with this fund, but
that "we should transfer it from the I
heads lo the dogs, many of which are
worthless, sheep killing and hen-nest
lobbing cure. This should either
place more money in Ihe treasury for
School purposes, Or it Would decrease
iliOvnuinl'cr'of dogs, which in either
case, would p:ove a.blessing.
A TiCACUKK.
Mit. Enrrou:?li is a matter of
some, g-rali.lien.tjon lo know that at
least* one-fourth of the teachers oil
Orangeburg County are iiiTciesled
??uongl^ in tho.? can >e of education to
Enroll their names as members of the
Teachers' Institute. We should not
despise the day of SUiaiMluugS, V/e
supul j>.t\<>\> despair because wc are
few in number. 1 am confident that
the Institute will give the members
a new inspiration?it 'has already
done so. But is there.not some dan
ger-that we will sp'-cck it to death?
Wo might relievo the monotony some
ny requesting pur leading teachers to
demonstrate on the black hoard how
they leach certain things; say, giuin-|
iiiar, history," tleogruphy, etc., I, for
one, wodld lie glad to sil at the feel
of ihe Gamaliels of our Institute and
learn nil that 1 can of this popular
blaclc-boar<l system of leaching. We
might also have a query box, in
which modest members, who cannot
stand up and express (heir desires,
Can deposit question for discussion or
dillimll sentences to ha parsed.
