OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Names of Those Who Will Instruct FuI.
ton County's Pupils During the
Ensuing Year.
EXAMINATIONS WILL CLOSE FRIDAY.

ers for the public schools which
began in Brush Creek township
on Tuesday of last week, will con.
clude with Dublin at Fort Little
ton on Friday. Owing to the fact
that an examination Yves held IN
McConnellsburg at the close Of
the Normal school, and one the
following week for Tod and Ayr,
the work of the superintendent
at the various townships has been
light. Four applicants were ex.
amined in Brush Creek township,
two in Union, none in Bethel,
three in Thompson, none in Tod
and Ayr, one in Belfast, and
-i in Licking Creek. The ex.
animation Is being held ia Taylor
to day.
At the first examination in Nc
Connellsburg, 55 entered the
class, and 38 certificates were
granted; at the second, 90 were
examined, and all passed. One
professional certificate has been
granted-to Miss Zoe Mason.
w. w. Smith, John H. Wood
cock, and Miss Olive Zimm
man, who took the examination
for permanent certiticates-all
passed, and have received from
the State Department, their GER
tificates.
No one is admitted to the class
for examination for provisional
certificates by the county super
intendent, who have not arrived
at the age of Is years, and no one
receives certificate whose mark
ings run above II.
AS in other years many of our
best teachers leave the county for
POSITIONS that pay larger salaries,
and have longer terms. The
grade of teachers who will occupy
our schools during the coming
year is fully up to the standard
of our sister counties, and we
will have among the number OF
young men and women teachers
who remain with us, some as
talented instructors as may be
found elsewhere.
