OF 100 applicants that presented them
selves for examination during the past sChoo
year, 50 received certificates. The papers o
many of those who failed showed that the,
had made Appropriation on the facts relativ,
that they were sadly deficient in the use 0
proper English TO express he knowledge
they had gained. The ability to speak an,
write correctly is the first essential Of a GOO,
education and lack of it makes success il
teaching an impossibility. 1t may here b.
added that 4 number of those attending thu
examination seem to miSSapprehen,
altogether the demands made upon them
A few months or longer of stufllng can Il
best fill them with 4 bcwilderng amount @
undigestcd knowledge totally unscrviccablt
to themselves at the examination, their pa
pcrS serving merely to add to the examiner
work without at all being Of benefit to them
selves.
The higher examinations were unusually
well attended The comparatively large
number of successful applicants signifies tn,
growing ambition OF the teachers to progress
not only in ability to teach, but also in &C
QUESTION of knowledge, and the recognition
that one can seldom be accomplished with
out the other. School boards recognize The
same fact by an increasing demand on thei
part for teachers with higher certificates
Ideal conditions demand that the tcache
receive such training before entering th'
profession rs will relieve him Of further eX
aminations after having been admitted; hu
Is present conditions cannot make Us nope
for these, the teacher can show the prope
spirit by raising himself above the persisted
drudgery of the annual examination anC
seeking 10 gain during his work in teaching
what he was not able to accomplish before
entering it.
In conclusion let ME say that the earnest
and instructive discussions carried on at the
school board meetings Of last winter and the
close attention given to the matter presented
were ample proof that the management of our
schools, with rare exceptions. is in the hands
of men who have the best interests of oul
schools at heart. The idea that the school
is necessary evil, that economy must begin
with it, is gradually though with occasional
relapscs, disappearing. Instead Of farming
oLt the echool 10 the lowest bidder, regard
less Of the experience or qualification of the
applicants, the opposite and only proper
method of first determining upon the sum
available and then securing the best for that
sum, is rapidly taking its place.
