The above classification is based upor
average standing. In few cases where
the minimum in one or more branches
was not satisfactory the certificates ISSUED
are not valid for year. In two cases
certificates have not been issued because
of the youth of the applicants, though
the educational qualifications meet th
requirements.
, Eleven persons presented themselve
as applicants for certificates of the Sec
ond Grade. Of the number whose name
do not appear as having succeeded, fiv
secured the necessary average, and stand
ing was satisfactory in everything bu
o Algebra. An opportunity will be givel
these teachers to write Oh that subjec
at an examination, notice of which wi
soon be given.
!. The claims of few teachers holdin
> good certificates were this year subordi
. mated to the solicitations of a correspond
9 ing number of the poorer class who's
ambition does not run in the directio
of improvement. The successful work
q ing of our schools depends largely upo
- the continuance in the calling of thos
~ who have passed the period of crude en-
:. piricism and whose methods of teachin
are in pursuance of we'll established prime
-. pies. All efforts toward improvement
4 the educational force of the county mus
>. proceed on the theory that teaching is
O profession requiring % a sufficier
knowledge of the subjects to be taugt
and (2) full comprehension of how the
!. shall be taught. The last mentione
- may be deemed the professional out
fit Of the teacher in distinction frol
! that general knowledge which Is pre-
i requisite to all special training. OWN
to the great number of teachers require
6 to supply the common schools, and til
!, limited facilities for giving that trainin
! which fits the applicant to assume cbarg
9 of school, the discipline Of experienc
and the knowledge gathered from SOU
=. ces at present available, teachers NEE
ings and institutes, the pro
q fessional equipment of the teacher.
is for this reason that the constant exodu
from the ranks of the teachers of thos
most conversant with the principles {
teaching and having the largest e1per
- ence, is much to be deplored, PARTICULAR
when they are forced out by the comp,
tition Of the inexperienced and inoomp,
. tent. One half the teaching force of tt
: county is changed every four years thu
necessitating repeated drill of raw n
cruits with the discouraging fact eve
present, that when properly disciplined
= some other employment will offer create
inducements and reap the benefits whic
should enure to the schools.
