made before Il teacher gets certificate
is void. Districts should require all of
teachers that the districts need, and
pay them we'll for it.
TeucEcrs, qualify yourselves before
applying fCr Il school. A contract made
brfore you hold u certiiicatc-;n this
county, remcmbcr-iS void. Even il
you teach ;s whole term without it, |
can find nothing in the law emitting
You 10 pay; though the clerk is liable to
the proper authority in twice the
amount should lie issue orders to an un
lie. n>ed teacher, neither lie nor the dis
tricl is legally indebted TO you. I speak
Of l!.cse matters because there are sew
crAl Instances il the county Of just such
work. ;5ou,e officers write me, saying,
THE tcachai. ",id she had your prom.
ise Of q ccriiiicate' This settles the
whole matter. I did grant permits to
be valid until q general examination.
This was . little Irregular work on my
part to accommodate, which, since some
have taIlen advantage OF it, vii! not be
repeated by me. Ileasc note the above
carefully, also the following:
A ssui;e.int"ndcnt's sc! dorsemcnt"
of {; certificate given in another county
amounts to nothing.
Certificates VIII be granted only upon
and moi from any recon-
mendai ;on.
a private examination will be grant,
Cd only upon proof that the applicant
could not attend the general exanlina-
ton.
No teacher will be granted a third
grade certificate more than twice. it is
necessary that they improve, and a third
is only IL permit for special district.
Our home teachers will be preferred
to those from Otnc: counties. If they
improve; if they do not, districts will
employ those who offer and arc well
qualified.
Next week shall report how I found
the schools; also those H.]lo were teach
ing Without being qualified.

cast OF the Charter Oak city lies the
beautiful town Of Marlboro, Connccti-
cut. Like ancient Hcme, she sits on
her seycn hills Of beauty and bids def
ancc to c;ghloring peaks and vistas.
Unlike tic pIair;cs OF minnesota and
Dakota, this New England borough can
boast of mountain lastlless, Of forest
and glen, rugged peaks, rocky lvdges
and wiiito bi'ch, with here and there
groups Of cherry trees ripe with deli
cious fruit.
: Hero it was that July 18th was cele-
bratcd with unusual interest. 1t was
not the meeting Of tho Grand Army of
the Republic NOr the celebration of an
OF some national victory
but it wcs nevertheless all occasion of
unusual moment, the anniversary of
The birthday OF one of our oldest citi-

Thing more to eat for q week."
The opening address was by Miss
Mary Hall, niece OF Mr.. Skinner, who,
IN wei! chosen words, brought vivit}ly
70 the mind OF her uncle the early
scenes OF his childhood and the sterner
realities OF Old age. Mr.. Edward Bell
then presented his father-i in law with a
,o!d-]e;sded cane, with appropriate and
)eantifu! sentiments. After a few re.

though - years old, might live to sec
many years OF usefulness. AS each
birthday is milestone in the common
of life, we predict MANY miles
# travel for our revrred friend before
'e reaches the end Of his Journey.
Father Time il not always q hard pa

lightly upon those who have used him

TO the many friends I met on this oc-
;asion I write these closing stanzas:
Dear ;accs HAT have vanished long
With va,'i;!ic.l days OF yp;c,

The eyes That sparlllcA hon divine
Shall sparkle NoW once more,
And youth ana love their rarCst wine

And willie each o!.!. familiar strain
Across the silence floats,
This l;fn Of Ours crows glad a"ain
With half forgotten thoughts.
Dear faces that arc drarer still
In lifc's sweet twilight time,
The eyes grow dim as up The Hill
The weary footsteps climb;
But yet the Oldcn friends are sweet
And full OF sunset grace.
And ut the summit we shall meet
Each dear familiar face.
