Supt. Geeting Issues Circular Re-

superintendent Geeting has issued a cir

regard to the new law requiring the teach

information ON this subject, Mr. Geeting
also includes in the circular the names of
several books on the subject that are ap-

and their effects on the human system.
passed by the last General Assembly, by
the provision of that act will be in force
from and after the 3Oth of June, 1885.
Your attention Is called to one or two
provisions of this law to guide you in the
examination of your teachers.
1T is manifestly an additional subject in
the common school curriculum, and an ex-
animation in this subject for the teachers
of the State is mandatory. Teachers hold
ing licenses in the several counties may be
required to take this examination as their
licenses expire. Persons who are exempt
from examination under the laws of 1898
viii be required TO take the examination in
this subject, because of the provision Of
the law of 1898, which expressly says: IF
such person SHALL during such exemption,
seek employment 10 teach other or higher
branches of the common schools OF this
State than those branches which were in
Guided in the examination upon which said
three years license was issued, then he or
she shall be examined in such additional
branches. This does not in any way af-
feet the teachers who hold State licenses,
residing in your county, unless the State
