The Closing Exercises of the Pilot Knob
Public School which occurred last Friday
evening were well attended and proved
pleasant indeed. The programme, while
lengthy was not tiresome and all moved
serenely. In this connection it is with pleas
ure we hear that the Knob School j., under
It's present management, enjoying fun
measure of success which is evidence that
Prof. De Haven and his able assistants are
the proper people in the proper place.
School Commissioner J. Il. Scott requests
us to state that the next examination Of
teachers will occur at Ironton, Saturday, 10Th
inst. As no certificate of any grade what
ever can be renewed under the new law

sary for every teacher III the County to
present him or herself 10 the commissioner
and be examined before they can assume
charge of their school. From this rule there
will be no deviation and all interested will
please remember.

to find some one who can so acceptabiy fill
the place he yacates. The Norma's Board
of Regents Is to be congratulated on secur-
ing so valuable man Prof. V, who will
soon prove himself one of the ablest men in
the faculty of that institution.
