"Gentlemen: en:--Believing that we
have been Disseminated against in the
examination of August 10 and H.
1910. i'm the subjects of United States
history and civil government and lit
erature by w A. L.ongbon, one of your
members, in this to-wit:
The list of questions submitted Is
unfair and is submitted with the view
of falling us.
Certificates were issued to appli-
cants whose manuscripts We're en-
titled to no higher grade than we re-
ceived In these subjects.
"Our manuscripts have been un-
fairly graded In said subjects by w.
A. Longbon, which will be shown by
n comparison with the manuscripts
submitted by other applicants.
I'VE, therefore, ask that our man
uscripts in United States history and
civil government and in literature be
reviewed by the whole board, and
believing as we do that II Is the right
of your board to pass upon all man
uscripts, under Section I0S5 of the
Revised Statutes, and to see that all
applicants are fairly and uniformly
graded, and believing that the grad
ing Of all manuscripts by the entire
board, will show wherein we have
been Disseminated against, we ask
this board TO examine all the manu-
scripts submitted In United States his
toll
ature at said examination.
"Inasmuch as Section 1885 of the
Revised Statutes provides that your
board shall pass also on such other
information as may come TO your
board touching our fitness TO teach In
the public schools, we submit the fol-
lowing for your consideration:
I'VE have each taught in the pub
lie schools of Marion county Ohio,
for more than IL years.
1--WE submit for your consideration
county certificates showing our quail
flcations to teach.
I'VE ask this board to inquire care
fully into our success I'm the follow
places where we have taught:
"Bolander, at Prospect, l3 years;
Moral, years,
"carmine, Green Camp. 9 years;
Claridon, 3 years.
FINALLY, II majority OF this board
feels that we have not been fairly
treated by one of your examiners, we
ask that should you be satisfied of
our fitness and qualifications, to issue
us certificates under your rule and
the law, that city school boards may
at their discretion issue certificates
without formal examinations to hold
ers of certificates granted by county
boards of examiners.
