Teaching is a noble work "A work that

The lamentable fact that many pereons
attempt to teach without any just sense Of
the Teachers mission wi hout any actual
fitness, either natural or acquired, for the /
duties TO be performed, and without any
apparent inclination TO become enlig ightened,
will account for the many limitations and

of the BoaId, that all who have recently
failed, or who shall hereafter all al a second
examination, will not be admitted for re- ex-
animation within three months from the
date of such second failure. 1t is thought
that two fair trials are sufficient to deter
mine whether an applicant is qualified TO
teach or not. The policy of examining per.
sons three or four times with the same result
each time, is running on the Examiners
time without beneftting either party. A
reasonable degree of scholarship is required,
at lenst, to be passable, and those who fall
short of this would do well to post up.
Remember, all who apply are required to
present n recommendation from their last
employers, il they have been engaged as
Teachers; If not, from their last Teachers.
