The papers written bY applicants who
reside i'll the county contain evidence OF
special preparation which will give greater
Intelligence and accuracy to their work in
the school-room. Two Of the three second
grade certificates issued are held by appli
cants whose certificates have hitherto been
Of the third grade. The examination in tie
higher grade named required something
more than superficial knowledge of the
included subjects, and the standard fixed i.
probably rs high as that which applicant,
are expected to reach in most counties OF
the State. The papers on algebra embrgc
Cd the consideration of radical quantities,
quadratics, professions and proportion us
well as the simpler divisions Vt the rul.;ec
q many counties these more difficult topics
are excluded from the questions for this
grade and only the elementary processes
and equations o! the first degree are treated.
The Interpretation Of the te: IN elementary
algebra varies with locality; bu, the state
superintendent in his comments on the Law
which employs the expression holds that
applicants for recond grade certi6cat =
should have, in addition to a thorough
knowledge of the branches required for u
third grade certificate, a good knowledge Of
the additional branches. This stateme ut
seems to authorize what has been demand
cd here; for, while it may be courteous to
term one an alge who is bewiliered
by an EQUATION containing the first and sec
ond powers of the unknown quintity, TO
qualify that title by the use of the wcrd
good savors more of compliment than can
dor.
VI The thirtytwo applicants who have
received full third grnde certificates, eight
have hitherto held but limited certificates in
this county
Pronunciation is nov stuffed with care
aud interest BY many of our teachers This
branch Q the FIRST named in the law which
specifies the subjects in which teachers shall
be examined. Grammar is not taught in
all schools; history and civil government in
comparatively few; but pronunciation is
tsrght in every school, and the treatment
of the subject IS either correct or laundering
as the teacher possesses or lacks knowl
edge of its principles. Wetster's Diction-
AIRY is an authoritative work in this as in
other depar ments of the English language,
.nd the student who ignores the DIc,iuaary
and seeks an acquaintance with the subject
thr. ugh tie m-nger and often inaccurate
presenta ION oft found in spoilers and
hastily prepal I'd readins-tooks, which are
as stanl, works only oy their
publishers, shows weak judgment and gets
sr'nll reward for bis pr.ns. The method
% teaching this subject presented by Prof.
Graham and Mr.. Viebshn in the Institutes
held here is q model cue and WORTHY OF
