About 120 teachers are required in
this county when the schools are all in
session. AS the above list comprises
but little more than one.fourth Of this
number, many limited licenses must be
issued This is state Of things much
ID be regretted, since 10 teacher hold.
ing a limited certificate is really com.
petent. Teachers of this class may do
reasonably well in certain positions
where experience and tact are requir-
ed rather than a higher education.
Yet it is but too frequently the case
that limited attainmentS are accomp-
anied by lack of mental resources,
and want OF adaptation to p. imary
work that make recitations lifeless,
and barren Of results.
In licensing teachers whose qualifc-
ations are doubtful, districts officers
will be consulted when practicable,
and care will be taken to select those
who are most likely TO succeed It is
desirable that all the schools shall be
in operation, but this must not bG done
by indscriminately licensing incompe-
tent persons.
Many who attended the examinations
have positively failed, and can not be
licensed under any conditions.
