am instructed by the State Superintendent as to
these examinations and certificates in the following orcibe
language
q" cannot impress upon you too strongly the necessity
for great in the examination and licensing of teachers
Under consideration shonld incompetent teacher be
employed to teach our public schools.
The State and Counties making increased approra
tons for schools and the average salary well the length
of the school term in the State is considerably al yanced
This should meet with corresponding improvement in the
efficiency of the teachers.
Examinations all branches required to be taught in
the public schools and upon Theory and Practice Teaching
should be thorough practical and uniform and only persons
possessing biliy to teach and of good moral character
should be granted certificates.
You have right to grant a certificate to a person who
has failed teacher who is of doubtful moral character
The fact that person holds certificate from State
Institute does not justify you in issuing him certificate if
you not satisfied his moral character In brief YOU
are instructed to license only persons who every way
worthy, capable and thoroughly qualified
You especially instructed to refuse certificates to
applicants who deficient in spelling and the use of good
English even when the grades other branches cause the
average to be above that required"
