ng general remark, ou the subject
I d, Board believe II 10 IL iur the inter.
est Of cur people aud their children that
the salaries shall be set high enough 10
cause thc,e posts To- bc somewhat eagerly
sought after; and then, the greater the
competition Tor them, tho better for the
city.
The examinations fer tcaoherships was
conducted in such way ~ 10 make the
most tur the schools ont Of the COMPETE

ty-oue named above were selected out Of
list Of thirty-tiyc applicants, regard be-
ing had not 10 their examination papers
only, but also TO their experience, roputod
success, and in short. whatever seemed TO
have a bearing on their qualifications for
Ia, work before them. Some failed Of
getting places, solely because OF their
slight proficiency in the branches required
TO be taught. The Board determined 10
raise the standard to which teachers must
attain, ii they would got and hold places
in the city schools; and We believe, from
the knowledge we have Of the results 81
thi, first competitive examination, that
even this short summer term will show
that decided step upward Ia, been
taken
\, there ha, been some talk about Sec
tartan prcjudiccs, We may say that we
understand the position Of the city SUI
pcriutendent 10 be that, as the schools are
for all the children, and supported 10y the
whole people, 50 the teacher,hips should
be open to the frccst competition, and as
signed to those who can bring the best
evidence of their fitness to I'LL them. and
that he has no desire 10 know the defom-
national belief of applicants, or whether
they are Protestant or Catholic. In this
disposition to be entirely impartial and
unsoctarian, we believe the entire Board
concurs with the Superintendent We
have high hopes of our schools under the
new order of things, and trust that we
may soon see in our city such an efficient
system Of public instruction as shall Sc
cure to our Free Schools the patronage of
rich and poor alike, and make them the
just pride of our citizens
