ExAMINA TION OF TEACHERS.

Editor of the CaledOnian We'll
has the school law been discussed.
Why not utter one word relative to
a class of people who endeavor to
carry out a section of this school
law? Among the names of people
that will go down in local history is
that of the one who examines appli-
cants to teach, not for the extent of
his mind or his practicability, but
for his peculiar adaptability to puz-
zle. 1t can be truly said, the modern
examiner is well adapted and better
fitted as a master of puzzles and a
foreman in a riddle factory, than a
person before whom one must pass
to secure certificate to teach. He
may have knowledge but he serious
Iv fails to use it. What man does is
a true example of what he is. This
is to say, that the questions pro-
pounded to the applicants are puz-
zles, to stick them, rather than means
to ascertain their ability to teach.
Dicipline is well but it is not knowl-
edge, neither will it earn ones bread
and butter Puzzles are good disci-
pline but they can never instruct the
child. What we want in this land is
practical men and women. To rear
this class of people they must be in
structed in practical things Do not
give the baby the food of an Epicu-
rean. Though practicability bears
the SAVIOR of olden times it does not
check progress. Perhaps the college
graduate should pass such an exami-
