The eastern clarion. [volume] (Paulding, Miss.) 1837-1863, 1861-07-12

msssss. EDITORS The closing exercises OIL the
.Garlandsvlle Seminary which we had the pleasure
Of witnessing, came Of Monday and Taesday, first
and second inst. This Institution is under super
vision Of Rev. G. W. CuArunD, A. M. gentleman OF
age and much experience in the very important
vocation to which he is deyoting his talents and ener
res. The writer has known Professor chauiad, by
character, since his earliest recollection and knows
that he has always had the reputation Of being q
thorough scholar, perfect gentleman and christian
Indeed We congratulate the trustees eff tbe Garlonds
vile school having been so fortunate as TO procure
the services Of one whose education, experience and
requirements so we'll adapt him to his yoea
ton. The circumstances by which the school has
been surrounded outside Of the existing influences
| peculiar to the times which Of course have a very
Dc literous effect, have been untavorable in the eS
treme as every one must know who have acquainted
themselves with those circumstances.
The very unf1yorab!e situation Of The school as re
CARDS housoroom--a want Of proper seats, desks
backboards, and in fact almost every thing else tina
Is calculated to prepare sehool-room in prope
manner has been among the many difficulties which
they have had to encouater Yea notwithstanding
all these obstacles, by theaindomitable will and IN
examplcd perseverance, Of the teachers, the pupil
in rapid progress will compare with those Of thu
first Institutions in the country.
As Professor Chaheldremaried on one occasion
it was not bis aim to show how much they ha'
studied. but how well they understood the principle
Of what they had gone over The truth Of this re
mark was evpecd by the prompt and correct man
net IN which they answered the most Intricate cues
tons The manner in which the examination wa
conducted, showed very plainly that the student
had not been S7ited to any particular part for exam
nation In fac. we know this was not the case, as Va
we're thrown with them few weeks before the eS
animation.
The exhibitions on Monday and Tuesday even
ing. were at least comparable with the exercises o
the day. The destinations on the part Of the boy
Of the male department gained for them much credi
as disclaimers. The compositions read by the youn
ladies Of the Seminary were very interesting indeed
And in fact those read by the little Misses of from
ten to thirteen years, would have done credit t
young ladies' of the first institutions Of the coun
BY the opening Of the next session, which will h
about the middle Of September, Che building viii b.
completed and properly furnished, so the didioulte
to which the school has been subjected will be OLIVIA
ted. Besides, Professor Chatded will have, in con
neetion with hmself teachers Of experience an,
ability. And he doubtless will build up an lnsttuto
OF learning at Garlondsvile uurvded by any in tn,
Slate. We bespeok for this institution liberia
share Of patronage aud we would direct the atter
tion o, parents and guardians who may have chdrel
to educate to the Guandsville Seminary, simp.
hoping tina, may be judged by its merits Its friend
| desire no more.
