ers, whose class drill and general discipline
were excellent; who we're earnestly andeaY-

many instances. The almost lmpassabie
state OF the roads has prevented me from
visiting rs many of the schools as l should
otherwise have done.
Since Jan, ist, 1S candidates have been
examined, &C of which bave been success

to make my examinations practical, aud
while find nauy Of the successful candl

who depend entirely upon their text books.
1t is to he hoped that after the close OF the
spring examinations, those who are def
elent in these respects will labor to i'm
prove themselves, and be prepared for
thorough independent work. l have granted
first, second and third grade certificates
| this spring; but all candidates presenting
themselves for examination for winter
school must be prepared to receive at
least second class certificate, as by the
advice of the State Superintendent no
third class certificates have been or will
be issued to carry teacher through wia-
ter school. All of which is respectfully
Submitted. EuSIoE L. FRISK,
