1t would be well if the law establish
but one grade of certificates, and that
grade q practical one-one which is a
sure test of persons general knowl-
edge, rather than of his ability to answer
few picked questions. 1t is the fault
of the law that poor class of teachers
exist, and it is to the law that We must
look for a remedy. Let the standard
which the teacher is required to attain
be elevated. Nor let it be asked, 81 What
shall we read?' In this day of cheap
books and newspapers, it is no excuse
that YOU do moi read; and if YOU are un.
able to judge as to rhat you shall read
you may as well give yourself up as q
failure in the profession and step down
and out to let the qualified one take
your place.
