Last evening. few moments before 81
o'clock, gentleman passing the Jail saw
several prisoners climbing down from the
Jail fence on the west side. The one armed
attache Of the sheriff's Office was notified
and rushed around to the place with re-
volver 10 time to see where they got out.
Three Of them named Edward LydeIl and
Geo. Montgomery, the burglars of Gilmore's
residence. and the Negro tramp named
Prior A. Foster, sent up for yagrancy for
80 days, made their escape.
Foster and Lydell were caught in short
time, tie former By August Herkert, near
the lower end Of town and the latter by
Constable Hull, near Capt. Buford's resi-
dence. Montgomery had not been captured
nor bad any trace of him been found up to
$3.50 this afternoon, except that man
answering bis description was seen On Mo-
line avenue, near Brooks crossing, late
last night.
Lydell says that he and Montgomery
had exhausted every PLAUSIBLE scheme fol
releasing themselves and arrived at the
conclusion that the old Jail was impregna-
lble, but that, last Sunday, lying 90 theil
backs looking around, they happened t.
discover place near the coroer OF thu
hall where the brick wall had settled ava.

ing a space of more than an inch between
the brick and window sill. With very lit

the brick, not knowing what was beyond

TEACHERS EXAMINATION examina-
ton of county teachers was concluded last
week Thursday, and the following teachers
granted certificates after examination:
Jas. NJ. Delaney, Miss F. Van Bebber,
+. j. Walker, Carrie Sheffield,
j. c. Clark, Lettic Lyons,
\. VI. Clark, May Caples,
Miss Sarah Sparks, NJ. j. Clark,
Mary f. Cross, g NJ. Shintaticr.
Four other teachers were upon reference
granted certificates by the examining board.
We append the following well timed remarks
by one of the examiners:
VANCOUVER, May :, 1878.
At the recent teachers examination held
at this place, there We're eighteen applicants;
sixteen of these were granted certificates;
four receiving LIST grade, seven I'd, and five
a 81. The circumstances under which it
was held rendered it announcement, and in
the opinion of the County Board inadvisable
to carry out to the strict letter the regua-
tions of the Territorial Board. The schools
had already commenced. Nearly all the APP
plicants had been teaching under special
permits, and to reject such would have closed
the schools, and perhaps caused an injustice
to the districts concerned These consider
ations had the effect of making the examiners
more liberal in some respects than they 9TH
erwise would have been But such consid-
erations are not likely to interfere with our
examinations in the future, and it will be
well for teachers to bear this fact in mind.
1t is no. strange that our teachers should
find the written examination, now required,
to be somewhat difficult. 1t is something
new in the experience of many of them, and
very different from the intellectual tests to
which they have been accustomed i'll the
past. But we have reason to hope that the
change is for the better, and as the Superin
tendent stated at the opening of the session,
''that it will mark an important epoch in the
educational history of our county" The
time has evidently arrived when special eff
forts should be made to build up the profess
sion of teaching in our midst. If, as is gen
orally admitted, our material progress, our
upon the character and efficiency of our
schools, then it follows that too much care
cannot be exercised in the selection of those
who may have them in charge. Experience
shows that the work of building up the pro-
fession is slow and complicated process;
and especially is this the case in country
like ours. As a people we are poor; our
school fund is quite limited, and many other
obstacles intervene to defeat MS in the work.
Yet we mav under present circumstances,
do much to build up our schools, and it is
our duty as teachers to labor to this end.
Let us then not only try to make our exami-
nation more efiectual, but through teachers
institutes and associations let us make a
united effort to build up our schools, placing
Clarke county in the foremost ranks of edu-
cation, where she may keep pace with the
onward march of time. K.
