my Office, in alphabetical order, SO that they
can be produced at any time as testimon-
ials Of the competency OF incompetency Of
the applicant. Retaining these papers as
vouchers, the teacher, il unsuccessful, and
if feeling himself aggrieved, may bring
any party or parties who are able to judge
in such matters, and thus vindicate himself
or me before the community.
Again, teachers need not show certifi-

the payment Of fee of one dollar. This
should be paid before examination, and if
the candidate fail, the money will be re-
turned.
Four grades of certificates are issued
from this Office: third, second, and first
grade, and professional. Not less than
sixty per cent average on all the branches
is required to entitle the applicant to a
third class certificate. Not less than seven.
ty-6ve per cent. is required for second
class. Ninety per cent. is required for a
first class. None are entitled to profession.
al certificates who have not graduated at
some reputable institution Of learning, and
can show credentials to that effect, and who
are now professional teachers. Third class
certificates, hereafter, will be valid for
only three months; secoHd class for only
six months; first class twelve months pro-
