Duties Of Examiners.

The following circular with refer ence to the examination of teachers has been sent by State Superintendent ners of the state:
 Department of Public Instruction,
 Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 13, 1902. To County Examiners:
 Your attention is respectfully called to the following suggestions:
 l. The law plainly states that no candidate shall be examined until he shall present receipt showing that the fee for examination has been paid to the county treasurer. There should not be the slightest deviation from this direction of the law.
 2. It is the purpose of the law to have uniform examinations through out the state. Private examinations should be rarely given, and then only when public necessity demands such action. A physician does not wait until he has a "eall' nor does the lawyer wait until he has client. be- fore he secures a license to practice,
  apply to those who seek positions as teachers.
 3. Every examination should be conducted in a business-lil1e way, and every rule relative to the management of the examination should be carefully observed.
 4. The law plainly names the stud icS in which teachers shall be exam ined An examiner has just as much right to omit all of them as he has to omit any one or more of them.
 ,. Candidates should not be li- eensed unless the examiner has posi- tive knowledge of their moral worth. or unless they present certificates to that effect, as provided by law.
 6. All examination papers should be carefully graded, and should be graded as the work of teachers, and not as the work of pupils. Good schools can be had only by placing the competent teachers. The future cit izenship of the state rests in large measure upon the character and qual- ity of the teaching force employed in the schools. The state has provided a county examiner for the purpose of protecting the children, and no feel ing of sentiment or friendliness should be allowed to dissuade an examiner from the plain path of duty.
 [. In written arithmetic the work should appear Answers only wheth- CT correct or not. should not be &C., cepted
 s. The English, as it appears throughout the papers of the candi- date. should be counted against him if he is careless in construction. or if he disregar1s the rules for the use of capitals, punctuation marks, etc. If children are to learn to speak and write correctly they must have teach CTS who show their knowledge of the laws Of the language by using correct forms of speech, both in speaking and in writing
 9 That it is unlawful to renew any certificate or to grant a license with ont an examination is clearly shown in section 7017.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 30.-
Weakness ruled again in wheat and December
fell off another 1ac, going to IL &c IN the early
part of the session. Chicago was weak and the
focal decline came more from sympathy with that
market than from anything especially weakening
here. Chicago had more cars In than had been
predicted and this induced little selling, Which
was enough to make the market ease off as
there practically no new buying at the open
ing. In the northwest receipts were 267 cars
less than last year at 1,O7O, against 1897. Du..
Iuth had S24 against 735, but the local receipts
were only 246, against COZ. Primary receipts
were 1905. 900 bu against $50, 900 last year
and primary shipments 900 bu, against $780,
600 bu. Clearances for the day showed 445,oOo
bu. .,-
weakening statistical feature the Brad
street figures, showing an increase in the worlds
visible of S,701 900 bu. There was everything
In sight last week to indicate an increase, but
the trade did not expect so heavy showing.
East of the Rockies the increase Is 4,3O1 900 bu,
and in the quantity in Europe and afoat for Eu'
rope the increase is 100000 bu. Liverpool was
weak, closing Ad lower. --.. ...,. Il

but there nothing actually reported up to
