PERSONAL.
VIM. F. ROBINSON, principal of the Bridge
ton Grammar School, former principal of our
public school, has passed an examination be-
fore the state superintendent at Trenton and
last week received first grade state certif-
cate. According to the school report there
are $3.50 teachers in New Jersey, of which
only 113 hold state certificates. This certif-
cate exempts the holder from any further ex-
animation in the state, and is good for life.
The list of examination subjects is very long,
and made up of the most difficult studies.
Than the above nothing more can be said of
Mr.. Robinsons ability in his calling, and we
most heartily and sincerely congratulate him
upon his success.

application to business broke down his health.
We congratulate him upon SO complete re-
covery.
