HOnOred Guest.

Colonel Coward. o. the Charleston Citadel
with his friend and former pupil, Mr.. Robert
Perrin, paid very pleasant call at the fress
and Bann er Office yesterday. The Colonel Is
travelling in behalf. OF the Charleston Cltadei
Academy, whose interest he has so mucn a'
heart, and to whose success OF late years ne
has contributed so much. The Coionel is
knightly gentleman, and his presence must
be an inspiration for the boys who attend the
Citadel, The Citadel, we believe has iurnlsh'
ed larger per cent OF leading politicians ana
DISTINGUISHED citizens than any school IN the
country. The school is all that the best talent
and the best skill can make, and its tuition
indudes all that trains the boy TO be sholar,
a soldier, and gentleman.
The Press and Banner freely and cheerfully
admits all this. without in any yielding our
very pronounced opposition to the basic prln-
ciple ON which the Institution is founded,
namely: The competitive examination
which awards the scholarship to the boy VINO
can best answer given set OF questions that
NAV be prepared from books. According to
our way of thinking, the institution was
founded. and the rules for admission are ar
ranged, for the benefit OF the boys that come
from "un fortunate families Thinking that
true manhood, true worth. true character
ability. and physical force should outweigh
the facilities for answering questions, we pro-
test against the methods which has obtained
In the awarding of scholarships.
But Colonel Coward has nothing to do with
choosing the Cadets He has to do only with
the bows who come to the Citadel, and more
competent scholar or more genial gentle
man could not be found.

Furman University Scholarships.

Furman University Is Offering to deserving
young men throughout our State assistance
In obtaining collegiate education.
There was Instituted last year the plan OF
giving one scholarship from each county In
The State, the appon tment to be made by
competitive examination.
The faculty of Furman an nounces that there
is u vacancy In every county except Chester,
Greenville, Hampton and Laurens. Gin these
counties the appoin lees OF last year have by
reason OF satisfactory work been reappoint.
will be held by the County School Commits
sioners at the respective county seats, on Fri.
day, August 23d. The questions are prepared
by the faculty, and the papers VIII be graded
men are eligible TO the examination. The
subjects in which the applicants Will be ex-
amlned are: English Grammar and Com
The question on English will require a
Knowledge OF the essential principles OF the
language, and an ability TO apply them In
original work. Neatness in writing, accu.
tenor Of tbe paper that careful and intelligent
work has been done in the study OF our moth
er tongue will be Of great Importance.
The Latin questions Will embrace selec-
tion from the first or second book of Cnsar's
Gallo War, questions on etymology and syn
tax, and few sentences TO be turned from
English 10 Latin. There was considerable
ted last year. In the matter OF Latin, the
translations from Latin to English were gen.
orally good, but there was lack OF accurate
and logical knowledge or syntax, and there
fore necessarily OF turning English into
Latin. Students In their preparation for the
examination are advised not 10 be satisfied
with knowing that noun Is In particular
case, or that verb Ia in a particular mood
but TO know exactly why the particular case
or mood is used. 1t Is not sufficient to say
that noun is In the Genitive case. or that a
verb is In the subjunctive mood. Know the
why.
The Agegra questions will 60 through
Ouadratic Equations. The Arithmetic ques.
tions will be such as should be answered by
any one who has completed Arithmetic. In
the preparation for both these subjects, stu
dents are urged to grasp the fundamental
principles, and TO ground themselves In them.
The point Is not that given book. on given
page tel Is how to work given example ny q
given rule. Rather strive TO get firm hold
OF the fundamental idea, and you will not
need to memorize a single rule,
The value OF the scholarship If fifty dollars
an amount sufficient to pay tuition for one
year. The appointment Is made for one year,
but IN case of fine standing by the winner
throughout the wear, the probabilities are
that the faculty will: as theg have done In III the
cases Of the holders of the scholarships from
the counties of Chester, Greenville. Hampton
and Laurens, re-appoint the winner for an
other year, and If thu high standard OF work
Is maintained, the appointment may be
made from year TO year until graduation.
The appointee Is required to enter the
lowest (freshman) college class
