In few cases certificates have not
been issued to persons whose names ap-
pear in the above list as their youth
made it nnadvisable. Others who did
not attain the required minimum in all
the branches, though their average was
satisfactory, did not receive full third.
grades. The classification above is made
on the average as basis. A much larg-
er number of certificates of the higher
grades have been issued this fall than at
any time for some years past, which is an
encouraging sign.
The law now requires that Physiology
and Hygiene be taught in all the schools

ed upon this subject after January LIST,
1886. The examination upon this new
study will not be as technical as it is for
applicants for the higher grades of cert
ficates. The teaching of this subject
may be of great benefit, and may be de-
trimental to the schools. No subject can
be taught we'll that the teacher does not
comprehend fully to the extent it is in
tended to be taught. In preparing for
coming examinations on this subject the
best way is to prepare to teach it proper
ly and this will be ample provision for
success at the examinations.
The disposition on the part of school
districts to employ these teachers who
offer their services at REDUCED rates"
is driving out the better class of teachers
in great many cases. This year there
have been few more certificates issued
than there are schools in the county, but
the teachers left unemployed all hold
good certificates, while many of those
who secured schools are so young that
certificates were issued them with many
serious misglvlngs. A few had managed
to make contracts, against whom extreme
youth and want of education could be
urged as objections. But economy. So
called. and the applicants ties of relation
ship with members of the school board
seem to make full compensation for want
of experience and education. Out of 1913
applicants 102 received certificates. Six
of the total 26 who failed had engaged
schools and two of these had the poorest
standing of any applicants in the county,
not even excepting the school children
who were experimenting with the cues
tons. Nothing else interferes as much
with educational progress as this persis
tent effort on the part of school boards
to employ as teachers children and in
competent persons of more mature years.
1t is an induoement to children to quit
school as soon as they are possessed of
the scanty supply of knowledge which
enables them to secure limited oertif,
cate. They encounter no difficulty in
obtaining schools as there are many
school boards always on the alert to Sc
cure the cheapest material which the
market affords. For some time the effort
has been to remove all necessity for the
issuance of limited certificates, The
present appears to be an opportune time
