cent. The lay is also ambiguous with
respect TO frat grade certificates. They
ought TO b good for at least three years
all over the State, and to be made re-
Movable for three years more on rsceiv-
ing the endorsement Of the county su
perinteadent. Life certificates should be
added, to be granted TO holders of frat
grade certificates eftor speoitied period
of successful experience. This would be
strong inducement to teachers to make
teaching their life work. In respect to
such life certificates there should also be
such reciprocity between the states as OBJ
tains in the domains Of Law, medicine
and theology.
Compulsory education, as measure OF
general application, does not commend
itself to the President. Legislation OF
this character in other states has been as
imperative in practice as undemocrstic
in theory. It may do for large cities but
is mot wanted in rural districts.
The report 6nds room for considerable
improvement in our school diBtricting

and that it is sufficient TO say that q Law

promote this study, cannot be expected TO
accomplish considerable results IN short

The subject of free textbooks receives
conspicuousa attention. Itmay benecesssry
toexplain to some Wilmington readers that
outaide of this city, parents are required
to buy the books which ore used by their
children at school. This outlay Ii felt by
many father or mother IS a serious
drain. The expenditure for family OF
several children may reach from $40 to
$40, or even more, per year. From this
expenditure, the parents OF Wilmington
have been exempt SO long that II requires
an effort to zealizs that stepping outside

One OF the meat obvious and important
of these is chat ii would bring into the
