SOUTHERN HOSPITAL.

the E I ECTION of an HONORARY SURGEON will take place at the
Board Room of the Hospital, on WEDNESDAY, the 30th of December
next, at Three o't lock.

Candidates and the Trustees are particularly requested to observe
that, in conformity with the plan of election adopted at a speci 1
meeting of the trustees last ye +r, and, in compliance with earnest
and repeated resolutions of meetings of the medical profession, all
canvassing by, or on behalf of, any canoidate Is strictly prohibited,
experience having shown that the system of cauva-sing (besides being
annoing to the trustees, and undignified and expensive for the can-
didates) dos not tend to secure the success of the most eligible and
best qualified men, but rather of the most active and influential
canvassers.

Every Candidate is therefore required to sign and fill up a form,
giving all needful particulars as to his personal qualifications and
standing (for circulation among the Trustees) and pie !ging his honour
that he will abstain from canvassing in any way, either personally or
by the agency of others, or through advertisement or circular. The
Committee tract that the Trustees will see the necessity of themselves
exercising the came forbearance, since it is obvious that the plan
cannot be fairly tried. or its imp .rtant end secured, unless the
condition be strictly adhered to by all parties alike, and that any
violation of the pled.te on behalf of a particular candidate ;you'd be
grossly unjust towards those by whom it was honourably observed.
Candidates are requested to procure copies of the necessary form
at th•• Hospital; is be returned to the Hoop tal (addressed to the
President) accompanied with the neceas.ry vouchers, &c:, not later
than Monday, the 14th of D:comber.
November 28th, 1857. JOHN FARNWORTH, President.

QT/IticatiOn.
THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
"The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consWering
them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do no t deem them
worthy of no:ice. Thus has been rejected the fundamental law,
that th, ear alone causes that engue to move; for, had this been
duly reflected upon, it mus!, ut one period or another, have led
' to the discovery of the true method of teaching langnages."—
Dufief.
MONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the
"Symbolic Ariglo-Frtmch Vocabulary ;" and of the
" Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning French." The unsuceess-
fulness of the prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro.
verbisi ; and what other results can bo looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of
nature so far as to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the
eyes, and teach the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its
simplest accents? With such a theory all human devices must neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have laboured in vain; and
the general notion that a language can be acquired only in the coun-
try where it is spoken; hence the despair of many students of the
French language of even understanding the rapid conversation of
natives of France.

All these deplorable consequences may be obviated by the natural
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.

To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several member] of a family should take lessons together, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
