Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 1: October, 1893
After this came the debates, two in number, the first on the theme, Was Crates the philosopher right, when, having met an ignorant boy, he administered a beating to his teacher? The second of a speculative sort: It is forbidden a stranger to mount the wall. A mounts the wall,hbut only to assist the citizens in repelling their enemies. Has A broken the law? The debates were very well conducted, and at the Close the master presented the successful contestants with valuable books as prizes. After the boys had gone I lingered to speak with the master, who was very willing to give me any information that I desired. He told me that his boys read Homer, Horace, Virgil and some of the great tragedians that he frequently picked out some knotty point in the lesson and set the boys to arguing for and against some view of it and that he ranked his pupils by their ability in this branch of study. Music he also taught, and geometry. But that, he said with a sigh, they do not like and will not learn. He made a specialty Of exercises in writing Greek verses, which was good news to me.
But the pupils give by far the larger part of their time and atten tion to the preparation and presentation of such themes-as I have already mentioned, joined to much paraphrasing of fables, anecdotes, and so forth, to give fluency of speech.
I have not yet decided with regard to my own course, but when I do, you may rest assured that I will send you word. Farewell.
