after having taken the poison, became

II may be a great disappointment to
many visitors to the jamestown Ex-
position to know that the grounds
will not be open to visitors on Sun
day. 1t seems that the management
is under bond to keep the gates clos
ed, and there is nothing else to do,
neither is it right to do anything
else.
J. II. Edwards, assistant secretary of
the treasury and member of the gov
eminent exposition board, there OF a
visit this week, advised that it would
be impossible to open the gates on
the Sabbath, as the jamestown EXPOSE
ton company signed a contract with
the government agreeing not to open
the gates on Sundays. when the last
exposition appropriation was made by
Congress. This was a condition of the
appropriation as made by Congress.
Mr.. Edwards explained that it was
not within the power of the govern
ment exposition board, or any officer,
to abrogate that agreement. fyg

There should be a law to enable a
teacher, when he has made a certain
percentage in a branch not to be ex-
amined in that branch again during
the year, but let his percentage be
placed to his credit and be examined
only in the branches wherein he failed
at other examinations and continue in
this way during the three examina
tons for the year, or, in other words,
give him a year in which to be exam
ined. For instance, if a teacher takes
the May examination and makes a per-
centage above 80 i'm three branches.
but fails in the others, then takes the
July examination and passes in
three others, and il he passed in the
other seven branches, at the Septem,
Der examination allow him a first
grade certificate from these three ex.
aminations to date from that year.
This would be more satisfactory, we
believe, for certificates date from a
certain year anyway, whether he has
taken the May, JAY Or September ex-
animation. The great trouble in an ex-
animation is not in the general aver
age, but failure in a certain branch or
branches. We have known teachers to
make 100 per cent. in some branches
and get No. 3 certificate owing to fail
ure in n or two branches. This
should be remedied. Then another
thought along this line. Should not
a teacher, when he has passed a salts
factory examination, be exempt from
examination for ten years at least. Are
doctors, lawyers and dentists required
to stand examination every few years
to enable them to continue TO prac.
tice? No! once for all he is licensed
to practice. But a teacher is required
to stand examination every few years
' for nc other reason We can see, but
that he may become rusty" VIVA

gets rusty in his profession? HI
