J 1919 persons applied for. certificates at
the late examination; 81 OF the appli-
cants failed to secure the required aver.
age. Several of those falling have taught
in the county, but for reasons best known
to themselves have not kept up v it'll the
educational advancement that the ma
jority of the teachers have been making
Misgivings were felt as to the result
of raising the average for limited certifi
Gates from 40 to 45. That the actor
was wise is shown by the influence ex
erted by it. A number of those engaged
in teaching during the past winter are
now i'll attendance at school. Commend
able progress has been made by others,
the increased requirement having been
in many cases more than met
The number licensed indicates that 8
scarcity of teachers is not likely to result
The only regret is, that action in this
direction was not taken at an earlier date
1t may be confidently expected thai
the present standard will give way to a
more advanced one at an early day.
Complaints are frequently made thai
examinations are too difficult; that the
marking is too close; that the standard
is too high: and that through these
causes many worthy and capable persons
are kept from bestowing upon the rising
generation their valuable services as in.
structors 1t would not be difficult to 81
arrange matters that manyof thosewho arr
now compelled to seek other avocation
than teaching, or educational work il
, other localities would be the happy pos
SCISSORS of certificates qualifying them a
teachers. A few easy questions, Sigh
, lowering of the standard and the result
, would be accomplished. If it can b
successfully argued that such a cours
would tend to the educational prosperit
of the country, that the schools woul,
: be benefited, that teachers would hav
: the incentives that now animate them t.
| become better prepared for their work
then it is the proper one to follow. TIL
= relatives and friends of not q fe,

districts in the county. But can it b
, truthfully asserted that those at presen
engaged in the work of teaching in th
county are too learned, possess in to
, great degree the qualities and quail
fcations that fit them for the schoo
room? Is there room fer progress
The schools of of the county cost larg
sum of money annually. Unless tn
largest amount Of benefit is obtaine
from their operation, the investment i
not paying its due amount of interest
Can teachers of poorer qualification
than those at present in the work Civ
greater returns? 1t is unnecessary t
pursue this discussion further, and t
many it may seem useless to enter int
it at all, but there are those that hol
the views stated.
