HUBHITTED TO THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION.

GUBGITFED 70 THE BOARD OF
EDUCATI0N.
u For over two years past, anew system
ofteaching in some of our public schools
Of Philadelphia has been introduced; the
most notable locale, is in the public school
on Locust street near Broad; and it has
given, great satisfaction. Under the new
sysfem it 10 claimed that child can ac-
quire knowledge more easily and with
greater rapidly than heretofore, while
study becomes more Of pleasure than a
task. The system, although not the kind
srgarten, il somewhat allied to it. In the
primary department, the child, instead of
being taught the alphabet as commonly
laid down, becomes acquainted with the
value and use of the letters through in
tsresting associations. The teacher asks
pupil If he or she has cat, and then in-
quires how many others in the class have
such domestic animals, and after exciting
the attention Of the children, proceeds to
write upon the blackboard the word ''cat,"
giving each of the letters in regular order.
The word and the letters composing it
thus stand for the thing signifed, and by
the power Of association the learner is able
ever afterwards to point out the characters
standing for the word cat. Other words
are taught in the same way, so that by
the time the whole 26 letters are acquired
the pupil has learned to spell. p. ~
BY the same system the qualities of
hardness, softness, ETC., are inculcated
without cramming the pupils mind with
words whose meaning is incomprehensive.
The child knows what a chair is, and when
the letters standing for the object are
placed on the blackboard and explained,
the word and the object are associated.
The chair Is made of wood, and so the
word "wood" and the substance represent
dby the word are ingraAed. Wood is
hard, and thus the quality of hardness is
shown, and 10 the other qualities and at
tributes Of the chair are taught in detail
Simple arithmetic is taught after the
same manner, and instead of the stereo-
typed methed ofthe children repeating
in concert twice one make two," etc.,
they are shown that if John has an apple
and Lucy bas another, that together they
make two.
The rsadjustmsnt of the course of study
extends TO the Primary, Secondary and
Grammar schools, and thus far has given
d. very encouraging results. The arrange
ment has been styTed "The Graded
Course Of Instruction." of which full and
exact details have been given to all the
teachers for their guidance, and classes
have been started for their benefit.
The peesent main divisions Of the school
are not altered by the new system, but
the smaller subdivisions are changed.
Instead ofspeaking of the "Fourth Divi~
sion, Graln""r,' the proper term now is
"Ninth Gra.e." the divisions of the
whole system numbering from the lowest
or First Grade" up to the "senior De.
.psrtmsnt," which is.gcounted one grade

A few days before he was wounded at
tile battle Of Seven Pines, and while
contemplating the overthrow Of McClel'
lan's army, which was then at the very
gates of Richmond, General Joseph Il.
Johnston, realizing to the fullest extent
the responsibility devolving upon him,
is said to have issued to his army a
proclamation, declaring that his object
was to drive the invaders from our soil;
that. TO accomplish this. the most pr
sistcnt fghting and indomitable cour-
age would be required ; that, once the
battle was begun, no command save
"onward," should be obeyed until the
victory was secured and that if any
man presumed, under airy pTetex; what
ever, 10 90 to the rear until the enemy
was driven from the field. he should be
shot on the spot.
South Carolina is just now in the

Chamberlain.

The name which appears at the head
Of this article is not unknown to the
people Of South Carolina. it has been
prominently before them for the last
ten years. and they have heard the
gravest charges preGrred against its
possessor. A Legislative investigating
committee has Investigated the charges,
made not only against him, bat many
others, and it has been asserted by the
chairman Of that committee that suffi-
cicnt evidence has been discovered to
convict Chamberlain and consisn him
to tic peniten,iary. l'ut nevertheless
Chamberlain sits in his law office in
Yew York city and ccoliy remarks that
he is ready to come back To Sputh Gar
oliua and undcrgo trial in court of
JUSTICE.
Tie charges Of corruption ha,ir g
been 70 frequently urged against him.
and the Chairman Of tlla Investigating
Committee having declared that evidence
has been discovered that will convict
him, the Democratic voters Of South
Carolina want tho arch traitor brought
to trial, and if guilty, punished as
he deserves. lfinnocent, it is proper
that he should te tried and acquitted.
At any rate, it is due 10 the State that
all Tie cases against Chamberlain and
all others of his class should be disposed
Of as early as possible. If any D. mo-
crats are involved, let their names be
given also to the grand jury. The party
can very well afford to dispense with
the services of those leaders who proved
recreant to duty during the period Of
corruption. 1t is to be hoped. however.
that there are none who sold their prin-
ciplcs for 4 mess OF poftage.
