RECITATION, NO. 5.

The Sinultme0ots or concert Uariety is
another well-known and popular form of the
lnterrogative method. Its name suggests its
pcculiaritics so fully that little needs be said
in explanation. In this, as in the last two,
the teacher asks the questions, but, instead
of one pupil answering, all answer at Once.
To some, this might seem very confused
and unsatisfactory plan. Teachers uac-
customed to it would be likely to think they
could not tell who recited well and who did
not. And probably they would not at first
especially if the class had never practiccd
this plan. But they soon learn to speak so
exactly i'll concert, as to seem like Il single
voice and the teacher is soon able TO tell
much more accurately than would be suppo-
sed, who recites well and who does not
The method has some good features and
some bad ones. 1t may be made an admi-
rable exercise for training the voice; it holds
back the rapid and hurries up the slow rcci-
ter; it is apt to remedy the fault of too high
or too low tone; it encourages the diffident
and bashful; it throws life into recitation
when it has become dull and listless; it en-
ables each pupil to recite many times as
much as by any of the individual methods !;
and it makes recitation seen, good even
though quite number in the class recite
lmperfectly or not at all.
On the other hand, it will often prevent
the teacher from knowing exactly how well
each pupil has prepared his lesson; unless
care is taken, it leads to sing-song drawl-
mg tone; ii has tendency to destroy that
self-reliancc in the pupil, which it is so i'm
rortant to cultivate; and pupils knowing
their mistakes arc less likely to be noticed
will be less likely to make careful prepara-
ton. The method has its uses, but care
should be taken to avoid its abuses. 1t is
not of general application; and is, Of course,
out of place in branches to which it is not
adapted. Itis useless in the whole field of
mathematics, except in the recitation Of ta-
olcs; and in some of the most difficult sci
ences it cannot be used at all. It's use is
confined, mostly, to the recitation of Spelling
leading, Geography and definitions ofGram-
mar; and even in these it must not be en-
tlrely depended on to make thorough schol-
ars.
The silent method is the last variety of
the lnterogative method that we shall speak
OF. AS in the last, so in this, oU answer

AMOS KENDALL ON HUNTERS
PROCLAMATION

occasional" (F'orney) in his letters to tn,
Philadelphia Press having misquoted portions o
AMOS kENDALLs letters to sustain General Hun
ters abolition order, that gentleman publishe:
the following letter in the National IatelfgeR
GER. 1t was written before the author was a.
ware OF the Presiden'st proclamation modifying
Hunters order:
WASHINGTON, May 10, '62.
To the Editors Of Ms National Lptsllig sacer:
My attention has been called to Washing
Ton letter in the Philadelphia Press, in which the
writer, after quoting a passage from one of my
letters published in your paper, says:
"Thus it will be seen that even the veteran Dem.
ocrat, Amos Kendall, while oblecting TO the course
OF the Abotoniss, is entitled to the credit of hav-
ing made the proposition which Gen. Hunter has
thus practically carried out.''
Now, should consider myself traitor to
my country if were to approve the late order
OF General Hunter purporting to set free all
the slaves within his military district.-Whie
exposing to Southern rebels the gulf which is
yawning before them the conception never enter
ed my brain that any military commander or the
the President himself could constitutionally,
by general order or proclamation, confscate
their property and emancipate their slaves, or
that such an object could be effected otherwise
than by conviction for treason by due course of
law in the courts of justice. In the order of
General Hunter / see the essence of military
despotism, utterly subversive of the Consttu-
ton we are fighting to maintain; and it is de-
plorable that the President does not, by the en-
forcemcnt of general line of policy, repress
these assumptions of power by his subordinates
Every such assumption unrebuked by him eX-
poses him and Congress itself to the charge of
hypocrisy and perfidy in their announcements
of the purposes for which the war is waged;
it dscourages the loyal men in all the slave
holding States, and in an equal degree encour-
ages the leading rebels; it will cost the North
thousands of lives and millions of money; it a.
larms conservative men everywhere and makes
them begin to think their own liberties in dam
ger; it strengthens dsloyal men in loyal States
and enables them to embarrass the Government
in its legitimate operations. In fine, there is
but one safe course for the Government to pur-
sue, and that is to disregard all party atfilia-
tions and adhere firmly to the programme orig
inaly announced, viz: The prosecution Of the
rar for the sole object Of preserving the Constitu-
ton and the Union and the rights Of all tie States
intact, to be foioced By peace as soon as those OBJ
jccts can be Obtained IF there is not firmness
enough in the Administration to do this we are
on a sea of revolution, with scarcely a hope of
ever again reaching the haven of unity and
peace.

FOREIGN ISLANDERS OF SOUTHERN
AMERICANISM.

The London Chronicle has lately had an arti-
Gle in relation to the social morality ofthe South,
which we are sure, made the blood tingle in the
veins of every man and woman who read it, ex-
cept such as those whose souls are stepped in the
brutalizing dognas of Abolitonsm. And yet,
whom shall we blame for these monstrous and
disgusting falsehoods! Where do the English pa
pers get these calumniating caricatures of south
ern life? Where have they learned that the peo-
pie of one half Of the American States are sava.
ges, more imbruted than the loathsome inhabi-
tants Of Dahomey or the Fecjee Islands We
must look TO the Abolition or Republican press
Of our own country, before we answer these
questions. Here, in our own midst, are these
nauseating lies invented. Men who have tran
scendant genius for lying-who are believed to
be able to beat the deyH at his own business, can
at all times command good wages on these news
papers And these have filled the gulble
OF the more shallow transatlantic journalists
with the material whcre-with to abuse the loyal
people of our Southern States Poor silly souls,
they'actually believe their mad falsehoods to 10
the truth whereas, in the great matter of NOR
ality, there is not city in Great Britain or in
the Northern States that can Justly claim the
least preeminence over the cities of the South
Compare the statistics of physical suffering in the
North and the South prior to the war, and we
shall find that in New York we have ttgty-tlaee
per- cent. against four per cent. in the South.
Let the British and American Abotionists ac-
count for this disparity before they proceed to
condemn institutions of which they have no just
conception. The systems of what is called
'slave' ands'.free labor" are just as badly un-
derstood by these crazy ''philanthropists."
There are more Englishmen, and more north
crn Abolitionists who ill-treat their wives, than
there are southern masters who abuse their
'slaves." To talk of unkindness and severity
as the general characteristic of the relation of
the southern master to his servant, is either to
talk ignorantly or to wilfuny lie. The Eng
lish journalists who retail these shocking narra-

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS.

Solution to Prob. 5.-We have the following
If I of the time past moons of an hour c.
quals four tifths Of the time to midnigh
| fifths of an hour, one-third of the time past
noon-one third Of an hour, equals two-ifths OF
| the time to midnight-two-fifths of an hour;
and three thirds. or the whole time past noon,-
l hour equals six-ffihs Of the time to midnight
-six-titlhs Of an hour; then the whole time
past noon equals six-fifths OF the time TO mid
night-one-ifth of an hour; then six-ftths of
the time to midnight-onc-ffth of an hour
(Which equals the time past noon) plus iive-fifths
of the time to midnight equals eleven-ffths of
the time to midnight-one-fifth of an hour,
which equals 2iiours; therefore eleven-ffths OF
the time to midnight equals II and one-ffth
hours, or sixty-one-lfths hours, and onc-iifth
of the time to midnight equals sixty-one-ftty-
fifths of an hour, and fve-ttths of the time to
midnight equals sixty-onc eleventh hours, or
) and siX-clevenhs hours to midnight, or 6 and
five-clevcnth hours past noon, equal to 27 and
thrce-clevenths minutes past 6 o'clock B.
Solution to prob. 6.-If four-ffths of the cost
of the horse equals Of the cost of the carriage,
/ of the cost of the carriage equals two-ffths
of the cost of the horse, and thrcc-hirds, or the
cost Of the carriage, equals sx-litths of the cost
of the horse. On the horse he lost 20 per cent,
equals 20-l00ths, equals one-ffth; hence he
sold him for iive-fiths, the ost,---one-fifth G.
quals four-fifths of the cost. On the carriage
he gained 25 per cent, equals 25-1 00ths equals
T of its cost If its cost was six-fifths of the
cost of the horse, he gained on it, of six-ffths
of the cost of the horse, equals three-tenths Of
the cost of the horse, which, added to six-fitths,
equals sx-ffths plus three tenths, equals fifteen
tenths Of the cost Of the horse, equals what he
sold the carriage for. The horse he sold for
four-ffths Of its cost; and the two for four
fifths plus fi(tecn-tenths equals -twenty-threc-
tcnths Of It's cost, equals $3.50. If twenty
threc-tenths Of the cost Of the horse equals $3.50,
onc-tenth equals $40, and ten-tenths, or the cost
of the horse, equals 800. One-ffth of 500
equals $40, and thrce-ffths equals times 20,
which equals Sl20, the cost Of the carriage, as
its cost was six-ffths that of the horse. 500
plus 120 equals 1920. Hence he gained $3.50
minus 1920 equals so. G.
Anotler Solution to prob. G.-If on the horse
he lost 20 per cent, or one-fifth of the cost, he
he was sold for five-iifths of the cost-one-ftth
of the cost which equals four-fifths Of the cost,
but z of the cost of the carriage equals four.
fifths of the cost Of the horse, hence i of the
cost Of the carriage equals what was received
for the horse On the carriage he gained 25
per cent, or ! of the cost, therefore he sold it
for fyc-lourths Of the cost of the cost Of

tives, we may suppose, are ignorant of what
they are talking about; but, these American
journalists, who invent all the horrid tales of
southern barbarisn, know that they are the
most ungodly and abominable liars that cumber
the space of mortal life. And it is they who
ought to be held responsible for these pictures of
American hte-believcd by the deluded and ig-
norant Englihs people-which are enough to
make the cheek of humanity blush. As tkese
is no law to reach these libellers of their coun-
try, there is the greater reason why the popu-
air sense of justice, of self respect, and of in
dignation, should overwhelm them with con-
tempt and scorn.

to give his answer, requiring all who agree
to raise the hand, and, afterward, all who
disagree to do the same. He may thus learn

Some may at first give the signal of readi-
ness falsely; but few raking exposures

This kind of recitation has peculiar mer-
its. In common with the Concert method
it enables each pupil to recite the a0hole
lesson. In most methods he recites but
small part; as for instance, in class of
twenty, where only one recites at time,
each pupil recites only one twentieth of the
lesson. These considerations, it is proba-
| bic, first led to the use of the silent and the
concert method. The gain is great and
important one, and sufficient, if there were
not serious faults to balance it, to make
those methods the chief standby in every
school-room. In some studies, and at a
certain stage of every pupils progress, the
silent method has in our opinion no substi-
tute. A pupil must think well before he
can recite WELL He must think closely and
connectedly. But every teacher knows
that beginner never has the power of
close consecutive thought. This is acquir-
ed, if acquired at all, by slow degrees and
patient effort and until it is acquired, at
least in some degree, it will usually be bet
ter to let the pupil think unembarrasscd by
any attempt to express his thoughts. This
is especially true in oral and mental arith-
mctic. The Silent method tends to culti-
vate thought rather than expression, to have
ideas clearly defined in the pupils mind be-
fore requesting him to express them When
he can think with tolerable vigor, other
methods, better calculated to cultivate the
power Of expression, may be adopted, but
before he can do this they are for the most
part, out of place. Every recitation must
have a SulJective, before it can have an
0Ljectice existence.
Wehave now briefly described four vari-
eft les Of the general lnterogative methods:
the rotation or consecutive method; the
pr0niScu0us meth0d,, the simultaneous or
concert method; and the silent method.
There are some others given by education
al writer's, but there are the most general
used and most valuable. Of course there
may be various notifications and combina-
tons of them; but they will still have all
the characteristics Of the general method
from which they are derived.
