BLooMINGBURG, Jan. 81, 1871.
EDS HERALD:-I see by the Herald that
the school examiners of this county in the
future, willrequire testimonials from the
board of Directors of the school or schools
in which they (the teachers) have been
engaged" Now ] suggest whether the
propriety of this may not be questionable.
Does teachers qualification to teach a
school, depend upon the opinions of
"boards of Directors" when he has
taught? Ia teacher to be deprived of
certificate because some board of Direc-
tors" do not choose to give him "testimo-
malls" Is every "board of Directors" in
Fayette county bound to give "testimoni-
als' to teachers, because the examiners de.
mand itH Will some one tell us the obj ct
of requiring this extra duty of "board of
Directors, who get no pay for their ser
vices. b.
Our correspondent B. will see, by refer
ence to notice in today's HERALD from
P. e. Morebouse, Clerk of the Board of Ex
aminers, that the requirements Of the BK-
aminers, are, as to moral character only,
and not as to educational qualifications.

Value OF Books.

1t is chiefly through books that
we enjoy intercourse with superior
minds; and these invaluable means
of communication are in the reach
of all. In the best books great
men talk to us, give lis their most
precious thoughts, and pour their
souls into ours. God be thanked
for books. They are the voices
Of the distant and the dead, and
make us heirs Of the spiritual life
Of past ages. Books are the true
Jewelers.. They give TO all, who
will faithfully use them, the soci-
ETY., the spiritual presence, Of the
best and greatest Of our race. No
