Teachers whose names are designated
by have grades in the common
branches sufficient to entitle them to
rank in higher class, provided they
had passed as well in the higher branch
es and could produce evidence of success
in teaching. The regulations by which
the old form six-month certificate is
graded, are given in the new twelve
month form. BY complying with these
any good scholar can get a
one-year certificate without any expert
ence. Those who prefer the good old
way, have to go in on the low grade, and
come up by trial and probation. This
class was remarkably inexperienced. Out
of sixty-fve applicants, only twenty
four reported any experience at all and
gave in their ages ranging
from fifteen to twenty years. Some of
those youthful members gave in very
excellent manuscripts in certain branch
es, but allowed their others to fall be-
low the minimum. They must learn to
themselves before undertaking
to give instruction to others.
