SUGGESTIONS.

1t cannot be denied that a person
may have a competent knowledge of
a subject and yet not be able to inn
part that knowledge in an Ineligible
manner to others, owing to the want
of an ability to express his meaning
clearly, and if such one should en-
gage in teaching he will fail for want
of tact. This is one of the qualities
in an applicant that the examiners
should try TO bring out, in order to
comply with the requirements, ito
examine each applicant as to his CON-
potency to teach reading, &c" Please
observe that it is his competency to
teach" and not merely his possession
of the requisite knowledge of the sub
ject. 1t is this oversight of the true
object in examining teachers that
sometimes leads to the adoption of
questions that test the memory of the
applicant, but fail TO discover his ca
pacity for teaching, or the use of the
how and the why" in his answers.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1889-05-24
HOW TO DO THIS.

The examinations need not be more
different than formerly, but let the
questions be so worded as to bring
into exercise the reason and judgment
of the applicant rather than his MEM
ory, and in the solution of questions,
require the reasons for each step in
the process to be written out. If the
latter are omitted, give no credit for
the solution. Give no credit for par
TALLY answered questions, or where
the meaning is obscured by unintelli-
gible explanations. Make no allow
ances except for mere clerical errors.
Have the questions on each branch
printed on separate slips and give out
one of these at time, apportioning
the time to each subject according to
the amount of writing and thought it
will require to answer the questions
upon 1T.
Let the penalty for giving or receiv
ing information during the examina-
ton, from another applicant or from
textbooks, q forfeiture of the exami-
nation. Let each applicant realize
that he has reputation to maintain
and let him regard the examination
as test of fitness to teach and not as
a farce that must yearly be gone
through.
There are now nine subjects to be
examined on and if ten questions are
continued to be given, it will hurry
the applicants too much to get through
in one day; hence, it would be better
to give five questions on each branch
and frame them so as to bring out the
reason and judgment of the applicant
more than his memory of what the
textbooks saw.
