Our county is flooded, al present. with tea CHI
ers OF every grade; from those barely able to
pass examnation to those who are aueH quail
fled and directors have no trouble in engaging
teachers. Yet it is my opinion, that the mum
ber of those who are Scdrceiiu able to pass ex
animation far exceed the number of those tceN
qualified.
This should not b. the case. To account
for it, some reasons may be assigned In the
first place, directors are anxious TO engage teach
ers ut as low figures as possible ; and in the
next place, those who have spent but four or sir
months in iiting themselves for the important
position ot school teachers, can afford TO tea ch
tor less wages than those who have spent vears
of hard study, to discipline the mind, aud to
bring out its powers, that they may train up the
young and tender mind Alright. Consequently,
when they have thoroughly fitted themselves for
the position of teacher, the wages being insult
cient they turn into other fields of labor viii ch
will better remunerata them for their toll. In
this part Of the county, should teacher venture
to ask 81 or 81 p per day, he would BE- cons,d-
cred not only unreasonable, bat outrageous in
his demands aud he would be told (veIy snecr
ingly too, perhaps,) that plenty q! teachers can
be engaged who VIII teach from Sl5 to SlS PEI
month, AMI that his services are not ,vanted al
such prizes as he has named bat if he w,l
come to their prices, they will engage him.
With such prospects before them, il is no,
to be wondered at that we have no NOR, first
rate teachers
But" says one, chow are we r!n,d,
,hiS?' What plan shall we adopt to have bet
ter teachers?'
There is but ono plan that comes to my mind
1t is this Instead Of our present system OF ex
amnatIons that oral examinations be sub,t
tuted wholly, or in part would have no ob
jections TO have partly written examinations
that is, not TO cuniine the examinations TO writ
len ones, but vary them Aud th,y should b.
raised to II higher standard. | have no doub
bat what some would cdvi at first but the diff
ference in their schools. | think. would sool
silence them.
| Much might be said in favor of oral exercises
bu, f0rb'ar at preS'n hoping to hear from
Others.
| am of the opinion that teachers should con
trihute for our county paper, aud have NJ
doubt but friend Higgins would grant them

More Light Wanted Concerning
MOrgan'S DcfalcatioM.

We stated u few weeks ago, that when MT.
w. D. Morgan entered upon the discharge OF
his duties, as Auditor OF State, he was n
defaultsr as Treasurer Of Coiuabidau Copnty
10 large amount This is no idle tumor. -
:" We know whereof we afirm,' aud also know
that said dedication was not paid by Morgan,
until after Breslin'S iUliScdminate use oi the
public funds,
A correspondent Of the State Journal Of Mon
day ast furnishes few additional facts which
40 long way toward duplicating Morgan as
one of the Treasury plundcrers He refers TO
the report of Wright aud Sparrow, and shows
that previous to the annual settlement between
the State and County Treasurers, in 1883 the
Treasurer of Columbiana County had made so
heavy advances to the State Treasurer, that, on
settlement, S35, ,67Il3 was refunded'to him as
all over payment. This was on tue tax dupi-
cate of 1854 BY reference to the annual re.
port Of this same WIN. d. Morgan, us Auditor
of State, bearing date Dec. 81, 1898, it appears
that the whole sum payable into the State
Treasury by the Treasurer of Columbiaua coun-
ty, on the annual settlement, was S36 30S 10
Now does this not prove beyond the shadow oi
a doubt that Auditor Morgan aud Breslin were
partners in the defalcation, or else why this
shuffling and covering up Why should the
Treasurer Of Columbisna county, Mr.. MOrgan's
successor, advance to John G Breslin the enor
nous sum of 235, ,677 l3 beyond what is due
TO the State? Does it look at all probable
On the other hand does il not show beyond any
shadow OF doubt that there was perfect un.
