teachers to obtain certificates from tle counfy
superintendent, has not proved q sufficient
protection against incompetency. County sae
perirtsndents are not always elected With d
view to their scholarly attachments, and their.
examinations cannot, in consequence, always
| be sure test of scholarship. This difieulty
can, perhaps, be met by providing for the ap-
pointment of two persons in each county. who,
together with ths county superinteHasnt.
should constitute an examining board.
With the .view of securing efficiency; and
providing against negligence in the manages
ment of the public schools, I recommend that
the county court be authorized to appoipt.
with the power of removal at pleasure all the
officers that you may deem necessary for the
management of the public schools in the sew
eral counties
Notwithstanding the difficulties connected
with the establishment of system of public
instruction, and the defects which il contains.
yet it has accomplished mnch GOOD which
will be felt in after years in the general en-
lghtenment of the people,
The regents of the normal school have
failed to make report, and il is therefore ont
of my power to state the condition or wants
| of Marshall College. or of the branches of the
normal school at Fairmont and West Liberty.
