movement will not fail 10 participate in the pri-
mary election, 20 be held tomorrow between
the hours OF II noon and at night. While the
names OF several excellent citizens are men,
toned in connection with the position OF Alder
man, there is an earnest desire that A. K
Shepherd may be the choice. The occasion de-
mands just such man-one who will strengthen
the Emery ticket. and who is well known for
nrmness and resolution a. for enterprise and a
comprehensive view of the city's wants. There
4 no better representative man in the city. and
the Third Ward may feel a just pride i'm claim
ing him, and in securing his services in the
Councils. The interest in his success Is not con-
lined TO our own noble ward, Tor all good citi-
zens cesire the ''Old Third" by their choice
OF her as candidate, TO set an example 20 the
other wards, which will have a good effect upon
their selections. THIRD WARD.

number Of Suporintendents Of Common
schools Of this County met according to notice ut
the Grand Jury room, Saturday Mt IA O'Clock.
After the election Of j. S Spaulding for chair.
man. and NJ. b. Smile, scribe, the question rela-
tive to uniformity in the examination of teach
ers, was discussed by the different members of the
Convention
II was thought that more thorough aud COM
prehensiyc examination Of teachers was needed in
order both to meet the demands of the law and to
advance the standard Of scholarship in our com.
mon schools
The customoi issuing certificates to applicants,
because they had before received them, although
unqualified, was condemned as illegal and un.
worthy The feeling prevailed that no certificates
should be granted to any person who. after ouch
examination as the law intends, shall he found
unqualified To teach.
The custom, adop'ed by many districts, of en-
ploying teachers who were not qualified to teach
merely because they worked for small pay, was
condemned Backward schools need the best
qualified and most skllful teachers
II was thought that uniform standard of OK
animation, adopted by each Superintendent in the
County, would prevent persons who fail Of seeur-
ing license to teach in one town, from applying
for license in another town, hoping to succeed
by less critical examination This custom has
prevailed to some extent u the detriment Of
schools.
1t was agreed that the general neglect of many
districts to furnish their school with blackboards
globes and maps, proves detrimental to the ad-
wncement Of learning, and that the Superinten.
dents OF the several towns should use all reason.

in the opinion that County Teachers Associa.

the cause Of education in the County that there
were enough earnest educators, hre men, who
would at once unite their Efforts to make the
meetings OF such an Association not only inter.
