We have been addressed twice. recently.
with reference to the employing of school
teachers under the new school law. We
will make this statement: commissioners
are at liberty to employ teachers from the
present to the first of August next without
anv reference to the new Jaw. After that
date however. the law positively prohibits
anv set of Commissioners from employing
any person as a teacher who has not a certiti-
cate from the Superintendent. And no
teacher who may be already in employ at
that date can continue to teach without
such certificate.
The Superintendent now in Sussex
holding examinations will shortly name
times and places to hold the examinations
in this county, but parties may apply TO
him at any time to be examined. The ex-
aminationS are. under all circumstances. to
be made in the presence of any and all
persons who may desire to attend. After
teacher shall have received a certificate
from the hands of the Superintendent ii i,
further required that the holder. to make il
effective, shall present it to the county
treasurer to be counter>igned, and pay said
officer two dollars.
Every applicant who i, Of good mora
character. and who shall be found qlalfe,
to teach the branches now required by Law
to be taught, shall receive certificat,
thereof from the Superintendent. and an,
applicant having been refused a certifcat,
may appeal to the State Board Of Eiuca
ton.
Teachers are required to make MONTH,
reports to the Commissioners. showing tn
number of scholars in attendance. and til
number of days each attend, together witt
the books used and the branches taught
In case this report be not furnished it
unlawful for the Commissioners to pay tn
salary to the teacher 50 neglccting.
1t will be seen. therefore. that the ne,
law virtually goes into effect on the first G
August, and no person can secure or hold
situation as teacher, after that date. withou
thorough compliance with the law.
