Teacher Examination.

Many OF the teachers examined
here on Saturday feel indignant on
account OF the manner in which the
Examination was conducted.
We were only present for a short
period Of time. but must declare
that the teachers are not to blsme
for entertaining feelings Of indig-
alton, Tor they we've acius " i'm
posed upon.
In the G5st place, the Elk 4miuA-
ton OF = aiding aud Grammar was
neither lair nor practical. 1t was
not calculated to bring out what the
teacbero know of these subjects. but
rather to bem"ze the mind or intel =
lect in endless doubt. Why Be-
cause the questions. many of them,
were ambiguous and equvocal.
In the second place, the teachers
were each compelled to buy copy
OF The Preston County Journal before
the Examination could proceed.
This, of itself, was an outrage upon
the applicants, and was done prob
ably as en- advert iseing scheme for
the Journal printing house. We
have always been opposed to the
teaching Of partisan politics in our
schools, but TIE present course which
matters are taking point directly to
such conclusion OF matters for the
public schools of this county. Be-
lore the winter terln closee we would
not be astonished, no, not even sur
prised, to hear of Superintendent
Frederick advocating the doing
away with the Reader as a text book
ano the adopting in It's stead OF the
Preston County Journal or come
other good Republican paper.
Mr.. Frederick has likely forgotten
that the Democrats OF this county
gave him the position he now holds,
anc When by extreme ana plain
partisan methods he seeks TO prosti-
tute that position or trust in an at
tempt to further disseminate Re
public anism, be will find out that
there will De general oatburst Of
indignation, not only among the
teachers, bnt throughout he county.
1t pains US to speak Of his mat
ter, bpt tue present state OF things
demands it. We feel that we have
only done our duty to our party and
the people.
