County Examiner F. E. Prichard exam
ired twelve prospective pedagogues here
last week. We had the pleasure Of look
ing over some OF the papers, and, while
very creditable III the main, there were
some answers, especially in history and
civics, that evidenced more Ignorance
than should be tolerated in those assum-
ing to instruct others. Among the ques-
tions in history was the following: "Who
was Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Jefferson
Davis? When were they associated"
One OF the answers was this: "Calhoun
was member OF Lincoln's cabinet and
was noted statesman. Webster and
CLAW were two OF the prominent orators at
the time OF the Civil War. Jefferson Davis
was great statesman and took an active
part in subduing the negro insurrectjon
In North and South Carolina. They were
associated in Lincoln's cabinet at the time
OF the Civil War" We are happy to be |
able to state that the author OF this
answer is not from Chelsea. The ignor-
ance OF history that 1t displays is almost
dense enough toqualify its author for the
Job OF writing editorials for free silver
