ESPECIAL TO THE PRESs.1
Augusta, February 9.-All who wished
to speak for the resolves for academies
and seminaries were given an oppor-
tunity to do SO by the committee on edn-
cation today, and in the evening there
was hearing before that committee on
the bill tn create stats board Of ex-
aminers for teachers.
State Superintendent Stetson in sup
port of the measure spoke of the preva-
lencs Of the old district system ideas i'll
the working of the present town system,
and called attention TO the large number
Of school officials who hire their own
relatives to teach schools. Mr.. StetsOn
gave Massachusetts the credit Of having
the best school system in the world. The
speaker said he did not understand the
chief object of the bill to be the examins-
tion of teachers, but that it was to en-
courage diligence among them and to
keep grossly incompetent people from
teaching. If these things could be done
without an examination he would not
urge Uu6 ueceS6lGy OIL bu0 DILL
Mr.. Stetson said that rs per cent of the
school superintendents of the state re-
ported that they were in favor of state
board of examination for teachers.
He said that he was in favor of havin 6
the examinations simple to begin with
and he called attention to the fact that
according to one provision the bill
would not go into effect for some time,
and If not success could be repealed by
the next legisla ture before it had done
much mischief He would have third
grade certificates to proficient pupils who
have finished a grammar school course.
The holder of a second grade qualities
persons to teach common soh3CIs and
high schools, Mr.. Stetson explained, if
the special qualifications mentioned in
the certificate make it appear to the local
superi ntendens advisable to hire her.
Certificates DO not give the beaiers any
claim on employment, but simply show
their qualification. Mr.. Stetson said
that the certificate system was devised to
exclude as few teachers as possible in
fact was very coarse sieve. 1t does not
call for close text book examination for
third grade certificate, and was not so
intended.
Principal d. I. Hathorne of the Wilton
academy, Rev. Mr.. Wyman of Augusta,
T. II. Briggs of Auburn. A. E. Haley
of Kenne5unk, Col. Stanley Plummer of
Dover, Charles Peabody of Millbridge
and e. B. Rodiok of bar Harbor, spoke
in favor Of the bill.
Repre- entstive Boynton of Sullivan
said he would rather have board nearer
the people for instance county board.
Mr.. Setson said that the bill provides
for local boards and Mr.. Boynton said he
objected to the Capitalization of authority
in the state board. Ke would prefer thar
the local boards have full authority in
getting up the questions for examina-
tions.
Superintendent John Klmball of Tur-
ner favored the bill.
The judiciary committees voted today to
report ought to pass on an act to extend
the charter Of the Lisbon Falls Water
company, and on an act to authorize the
city of Lewiston to refund part Of its
debt.
