The result of the last quarterly teachers examination held all over the territory, shows that the situation in the matter of teachers holding first grade certificates has not been relieved. Out of forty teachers who took the ex
 animation in all the counties of the territory, only four of them succeeded in getting certificates of the first grade. Many of the applicants did not aim in the first place at the higher grade of certificates. Of the forty who applied only twenty one received certificates of any character. The percentage of failures, almost fifty, makes plain why teachers have to be imported, and answers critical questions which have been directed to many boards of edu' cation, through the press.-Prospector
