BUNKER HILL, BERKELEY, Co..
January Is, 1879.
Mr.. Editor-On the first day of 1879
the people Of the Shenandoah Valley
heard sound as of rejoicing. In the
murmurings of its waters old Potomac
seemed calling in ecstasy unto little
Shenandoah, who proclaimed its delight
in its loud roarings which were echoed
and re-echoed along the Blue Ridge in
laundering tones. Above all this rap
ture there arose voice, saying, IKE
joice, for old Shepherdstown has become
a railroad station, and there is another
chance for dead htads" And now,
Mr.. Editor, that you heve the 5. V. X.
K. in your town, l wish you much good
from it, but don't you think you 'pnid
dear for the mhistis p l hope that
such will not prove to be the case, and
expect when l next visit you to find the
town OVERLOOKING with thrift and enter
prise. So mote it be.
| will now endeavor to give you de-
scription of the village of Bunker Hill.
1t is situated on the Martinsburg and
Winchester turnpike, distant ten and
twelve miles respectively from those
places. A stage line over this road,
connecting the above named places, at
fords the Inhabitants Of our village ia
cililies for travel, and brings them daily
the U. S. Mail;
Our village contains 25 or 80 dwell
ing houses, one hotel, TWO school hous-
es, TWO churches, two saw and two flour
mills, two stores, two smith shops, two
boot and shoe shops, and post Office.
It's population is about 1870. For mo-
rality aud sociabiiity its society cannot
be surpassed by any other town III the
State.
Although such a small place, our MGR
chants have the name of doing the lar
gest business OF any in the county.
The Touring mills are running to full!
capacity, and are constantly shipping
their choice brands of flour to the East
ern market.
The Holidays passed off very quietly
here, and had it not been for the noise
made by the children, one would hardly
have known we had arrived at this pop
ular period Of the year.
Our village enjoyed a rare treat, on
the night of the 9th, of some delightful
music. The Smithfeld string band ar
rived Immediately after dark, and pro
ceedrd to call on each family in It's turn.
1t departed for home, quite late, seem
ingly much pleased with their recep-
ton. Call again, boys.
The frienGs of Mr.. and Mrs. George
T. Legg bad the pleasure OF accel ting
invitations to attend soiree given by
them on Tuesday evening Of this week.
1t is not often one enjoys an evening
more than was this, which proved a
most brilliant success.
Skating has been "the 60" with our
young gentlemen for the last few weeks.
They often carry their enjoyment far
into the night, and seem TO wish Old
Probabilities would predict another

and resolutions have been introduced.
1t is very difficult matter to get up a
bill which will suit both the agricultural
aud commercial interests of the States.
The last one introduced, on Saturday,
by DR.. I. Ii. Logan, of this city, looks
to compromise between the conflict
ing interests. 1t is very touchy sub
iect, and one that will consume good
portion of the time of the present Leg
islature.
The politicians are beginning to buzz
around, and are figuring up the 81 ate
for the State ticket for two years hence.
There are great many mentioned, but
| will not speak of them in this letter,
as l have made it too long already.
Yours. {.

The State Superinsendenfs Rc-
pert.

The State Superintendent of Schools,
in his late annual report, makes some
very good and pertinent suggestions in
reference TO the school law. He rec
ommend5 that provisions be made to re-
move incompetent and unfalthful Off
GERS, and TO prevent Boards of Educa-
ton from interfering with the prescribed
duties of Trustees, and from discourag
ing and hindering teachers from attend
ing the County Institutes. He speaks
as follows of examinations and Teach
ers Certificates -
We suggest that the grades of certfi-
Gates given by the County Boards of
Examiners, which now extend TO fire
be reduced 10 three; that grade No. l
shall be given to teachers who answer
correctly 81 per cent. Of the questions;
grade No. 2 TO those who answer cor
rectly II per cent. and grade No. TO
those who answer correctly 81 per cent,
and that no teacher be licensed to teach
in any county of the State whose stand
ing is below grade No. 3. License,
however, should be given to the Coun-
ty Board TO allow per cent, in no case
to exceed Ten, extra Of that given on
the examination, in consideration of
known aptness to teach and an estab
lished reputation for intelligence, char
acter and success in the profession. |
attach particular importance TO this
point, since nothing is more clearly IS
tablished by observation and experience
than the fact that the quality of teach
er cannot be justly determined by his
ability 10 answer questions at an exam
ination. Persons who obtain and de-
serve the highest grades on examina-
tons, not unfrequently prove utter fail
ures in the practical work of the school
room.
Of Professional Certificates and Nor
NAL Diplomas, he says:-
While the law provides that Profes-
sional Certificates and Normal Diplomas
shall entitle the holders 10 teach
throughout the State and for life, with
out further examination, il does not es
tablish the rank Of these certificates, as
compared with those given by the Coun-
ty Boards. The result is, that in num-
Der of cases the District Boards of Edu-
cation, or the County Boards of Exam
liners, have assumed to grade them be-
low a No. Certificate of the County
Boards of Examiners. The plain pre-
sumption of the law, however, is that
they should rank with the highest
grade, and their holders be entitled TO
the corresponding salary; and since the
standard of Professional Certificates is
now raised 10 such degree above that
required for No. County Certificate,
and the course of instructions in the
Normal Schools has been extended by
the present Board of Regents to three
wears, and the instructions. examinations
and training have been made more thor
ough and rigid, | suggest that Ibis
class of licensed teachers should be pro-
tected in their professional standing.
