A Georgia School Teacher.

The public school system of Georgia
is an impoverished institution. 1t con-
tracts with its teachers for term of
sixty-fve days at five cents per day per
capita, and settles with them at about
sixty-fve cents on the dollar. The
teacher must accept this or persuade
the kind-hearted patron to pay the re-
mainder. Any one enjoying the ludi-
crous can spend healthful half-hour
at certain of these examinations, es-
pecially when the commissioner, as in
this case, possesses a natural vein of
humor. The applicant was man OF
about forty, with cheap cast of feat
ures and body half as broad as long.
He said he didn't claim to know all
wasn't a graduate, etc.-but he did
know enough to teach them heathen
down at Shake Rag, cause he'd teached
thar four years, and they didn't know
nuthin yit. The official said he'd ask a
few primary questions, and began with

"What is o syllable?"

"How do you teach readingT

"WheS is geography"
"Hain't no classes in that"
