ThetcSam!nation of the tenchers held
on Friday and Saturday OF last week,
was held to call forth n linowl-
edge of the branches taught In our
schools, though of the thousand points
locked over by the teachers in their
work Of preparation, but very few may
have been directly asked. The great
good of this examination, IL indeed
good has been accomplished, lies In the
worl: Of preparation gone through by
the teachers. It Is perhaps well now
and then, that We are aroused from our
passivencss by looking over the road
We travelled In our school days, though
the ability to stand n rigid examination
is not always q mark OF good teacher.
True, Il certain degree OF scholarship is
necessary. but tho leading element in
the:good teacher Is the ability to inspire
our hoys and girls SO TINT they will
love learning for It's own sake, the abIl-
fty 10 cause them to work out those
things that certainly lead to true man
hood and true womanhood. Some
teachers who may stand the very low
est III rigid test have this very ability
and 1t would be detrimental to our
schools just now to lose them. But the
writer is not prophesying that any will
fail or have failed In the examination. Il
