Of this school district. and also OF all per-
sons desiring certificates a. teachers In
such schools. such examination TO take
place not later than March l. 1879"
This resolution Wa suggested and
adopted In consequences Of the opinion.
freely and publicly expressed. that in.
competent teachers have been retained
through favoritism. II such DO really
the fact. !, would DO well to have the
examination extended to the teachers Of
Gold Hill. and in fact the entire county.
The Communications recently Published
in the Nkws ON this subject stand unan-

OF our schools demand a radical reform
in both the style aud matter OF our sr-
aminations. These examinations hereto

Of quibbling technicslities and ridieu-

ends in view; First. TO ascertain
whether the applicant 10 thoroughly
grounded in the principles OF each

the same to Straightforward problems
aud questions; secondly. to ascertain
whether the applicant knows how to
elueidate these principles to a class aud
teach them their application. An sI-
animation conducted with these aims in
view would demonstrates far rs the

instructing our youth. We ask for both
teachers and the public that such Kan

Let Us have an open and sbove-board
examination. and the examiners may
rest assured Of the hearty support Of the
public.
