One hundred and ffty-six persons ap-
piled for certificates the past fall, 128 OF
whom were licensed. In the fall Of 1878,
1873 persons applied, and 116 were licens-
ed. In the fall of 1877 the numbers
were respectively l57, and 127. In the
fall of 1875, 139-117. In other respects
the present report does not compare so
closely with those of other falls. The
last fall but 26 averaged below so per
cent. In 1877, 50 of the 12T licensed,
averaged under 30, and SO Of these were
under 45. In 1876, 55 averaged under
so, and 81 under IS; 11S were licensed.
In 1875, 81 Of the III licensed were un-
der so. In the spring of 1873 the min
imum average standing for limited certi-
fcates was raised from 10 to rs per cent,
and previous to this, rule was estab-
lished that those only should receive
third grade certificates who stood at least
80 in each subject. Other comparisons
might be instituted of an equally favor
able character. These facts indicate that
the excellent work of my predecessor has
borne fruit, and that under the impetus
given by him the teaching force of the
county have gained much in at least one
direction during the past few years.
There was greater number of teach
ers licensed the past fall than needed to
fill the schools. This is to be regretted,
and would not have occurred, had it been
anticipated. Those who attended the ex-
animation Immediately succeeding the
institute, received some advantage from
the fact that a portion of the questions in
each branch were selected from topics
treated IN the institute, and the teachers
generally indicated by their worl 1t the
examinations that their time had been
well employed during the year. A great
er number, from these causes, passed
than was thought probable. In the fall
of 1873 much difficulty was expert
enced in securing enough teachers, and
nc desire was felt to go Though the same
trouble again, therefore the standard was
not raised. 1t may safely, and probably
will, be placed at not less than 50 at the
coming examinations.
The progress that many of the young
teachers of the county are making is
creditable and they should receive recog-
milton from those in authority. Among
the country teachers one holds state GER
tifcate, two, first grade county certif
Gates, and six, second grade county certi-
ficates. In one school in this city, two
state certificates are held, one first grade,
ard three second grade; and the above
report shows that large number are OBJ
tanning good standings in the third grade
branches.
Many of the teachers claim that ad-
vanced standings do not do them any
good. That it does not pay financially
to work up. That the inexperienced
boy or girl with limited certificate is
just as apt to secure paying situation
as the better qualified and more expert
eneed teacher. tt must be admitted that
there is too much truth in this. That
the carelessness of school officers and
local causes operate in this direction.
But as general rule, it is good invest
