To the School Directors and Teachers
of Iron County:

Teachers whose grades in photography,
arithmetic, English grammar and reading
fall below eight need not ask for renewal
of their certificates without an examination.
Be it understood now that the examinations
are to be made more rigid this year than at
any time in the past. Some of you directors
complain because yoq do not have better
schools and censure the school commission
er, doubtless, because men and women with
out proper qualifications are granted certi-
ticates. Are you aware of the fact that the
law compels school commissioners to grant
certificates where the applicant does not fall
below six in any branch? Do you know
further that the teacher who can get but six
on the branches above mentioned knows but
little about them; is not competent to teach
them! 1t is about time for school directors
to begin to notice the grades of teachers. If
you fail to do this it is useless to have
grades. The school law ought to require u
grade of eight on photography, arithmetic,
English grammar and reading, but it does
not. Directors, supplement the law by re-
quiring this of the man or woman who
teaches your school. Respectfully,
JNO. B. SCOTT.

IN MEMORIAM.
Died, April the 18th, 1889, infant child of
Mr.. and Mrs. zach Hedgecoth, after short
illness and was inferred on the farm of Mr..
VIM. Imboden.
AS vernal flowers that scent the morn,
But wither in the rising day,
Thus lovely was the infant dawn
Thus swiftly fled its life away.
Died to sin; died to care;
But for a moment felt the rod;
Then, rising on the viewless air,
Spread his light wings and scared to God.

The Union Sabbath School gave 4 delight.
full Entertainment in the Baptist Church
Sunday night.
The children deserve much credit for the
manner in which they recited 1t must be
very gratifying to the parents to see their
children act so nicely.
The piece recited by three little girls, en-.
titled, "Faith, Hope and Charity, was most
excellent.
The music rendered was just immense,
especially the two Solos sang by Misses
Bertha Morris and Cora Fitz.
The Church was decorated to perfection
with flowers and evergreen.
Too much credit cannot be given to the
teachers of this S. s., especially Misses
Mamie Fitz and Bertha Morris.
The House was crowded, and every one
seemed well pleased. Mr.. Rob't Weast
did his part we'll with his Bass Horn.
The exercises closed by beautiful recita-
ton of nine little boys and girls, with the
motto: "Good night" Then short speech
from j. S. ONeal closed the most pleasant
entertainment that Des Arc has ever enjoy.
