TWO LIFE CERTIFICATES GIVEN.
A Course of Reading and Study for
Public School Teachers.

A Course of Reading and Study for
Public School Teachers.
The State Board of Examiners met
yesterday afternoon at $50 o'clock in
the office of the State Superintendent Of
the Board were present, as follows:
Supt. Mebane, w. l.. Poteat, L. L..
Hobbs and M. G. s. Noble.
They spent the afternoon looking over
examination papers handed in by cam
didates for life certificates to teach pub
lie schools of the State, as provided for
In the new school law passed by the last
Legislature.
The examination was held early in
July and only three persons in the State
stood it. Two of these passed and their
certificates will be sent them today.
They are:
r. G. Craven, Of Surry county.
A. M. Garwood, of Davie county.
The third man failed to pass. Mr..
Craven is superintendent of the graded
schools of Mt. Airy; Mr.. Garwood is a
public school teacher in Davie county.
The reason so few teachers took the
examination is that the law is new one
and after the Board was appointed, got
together and organized there was very
little time left to give notice of the ex-
animation. Since that time many teach
ers have made application to be allow
ed to stand the examination, but this
cannot be done; they will have to wait
until next year.
Last night the Board prepared course
of reading and study for public school
teachers of the State. This will be
printed in these columns as soon as it
is complete.

A CARD
TO THE PUBLIC

We have noticed in several papers in
North Carolina that we intended open
ing a Kelley Institute in Wilmington,
N. @. We suppose it grew out of the
fact that we are arranging to open one
in Washington, d. c., and one in Bal
timore, Md. We have no intention of
opening an institute in any other town
North Carolina at present, as we have
ample accommodation for all those who
come to us in our well appointed insti-
tute at Greensboro, N. G.
For further information, address The
Kelley Institute, Greensboro, N. O., or

a Week.

The Central Pennsylvania Telephone
and Supply company yesterday obtain
ed a permit from the street commits
streets of the city for the purpose of
laying the conduits for it's underground
wires.
Bids for laying the conduits have
been asked and the company expects to
begin work within a week. 1t is the
intention to begin the work of laying
the conduits at the telephone building
on Adams avenue and extend the main
one down Center street to Washington
avenue. Owing to the fact that Centre
street is not opened between Washing
ton and Wyoming avenues it was found
necessary to go out Washington ave-
nue. to Lackawanna, down that avenue
to Wyoming and thence to Centre
street again.
This main conduit will be laid to the
end of Centre street at the Delaware
and Hudson station. A branch conduit
will be laid in Oakford court from Cen
ire to Vine streets which will supply
buildings for the west side of Wyom-
ing avenue and the east side of Penn.
A conduit in Railroad alley will feed
wires to the buildings on the south
side of Lackawanna avenue. 1t will
connect with the main conduit at
Lackawanna and Washington avenues.
The conduits will be laid under the
direction of Mr.. Wyman, of Boston,
an engineer of the American Bell Tele-
phone company, who is sent here for
that purpose.
