Candidates For Life Certificate to be
Examined on the Second Thurs
day of July.
The State Superiudent'of Public
Instruction directs me to say: "On
the second Thursday in J uly an ex
amination for life certificate will
be held in the court house". The
questions for this examination
have been prepared by the btate
Board of Exnminers and are now
in the. office of the County Board of
Education.The examination papers
will be forwarded to the office of
State Superintendent of Public In
struction and graded by the State
Board of Examiners. A certificate
will be issued to all successful ap
plicants and will entitle the holder
thereof to teach anywhere in North
Carolina without examination bv
the county superintendent of
schools. The questions are on the
following subjects: English Gram
mar, .English .Literature, History,
Geography, Physical Geography,
Arithmetic, Algebra, Physics,
Physiology and Hygiene, Elemen
tary Botany 1 Philosophy and His
tory of Education, Civil Govern
ment and School Law. The fol
lowing books in addition to these
adopted by the County Board are
suggested as indicating the scope
of examination on the several sub
iects: Whitnev's- Essentials of
English Grammar, Pancoast
Composition and Rhetoric; Lock-
wood's Lessons in English; Maur
ry's Geography;. Tan's Physical
Geography; Sully V Psychology
for Teachers; White's Elements of
Pedagogy; Physics (A very and
Gaze); Berzenrs Botanv; Martin's
Human Bod v.: Messrs. Edwin
Cuthrell and Theo. Boer baum, who
have on sale the books used in the
public schools, can give any infor
mation wanted mregard to books.
According to the new school law
civil government is constituted a
su bi ect to be taugh t in the publ ic
schools. Teachers will therefore
be examined hereafter on that
subject, and should procure the
required books, if thev have ndt
already done so, and prepare them
selves for the examination. Eing
ers oviraoverarnerrrird-no
man's Elements of Civil Govern
ment, N. C. - edition, are on K the
list adopted in this cpunty. Either
one of these books or any other
will answer. The main thing "for
an applicant for a certificate to
know is Civil Government. No
examination will be held this year
for the Peabody scholarship for
the reason that none will be award
ed to this. State, all the vacancies
having been filled in accordance
with the other rules governing the
appointments. All applicants for
license to teach in the public
schools of the county should re
member that the first regular pub
lic examination for the school year
will be held at the same time and
place and should avail themselves
of this opportunity to apply for
certificates, in order to be pre
pared to make contracts with com
mitteemen for the ensuing fall
term. The examination will be
gin at 9 o'clock a. m.

Work on the Streets.

kI hope the Sun will stop pub-
macadamized in .the suburbs at
least until the biggest holes are
filled up, on the principal streets
in town. 1 It is really discouraging.
Many want to keep, horses and ve
hicles, but the streets are in such
a miserable condition. The hands
working, on the streets do very
inferior work, dumping in the
most careless manner a few shovel
fulls of earth from the ditches.
Please keep harping on this ques
tion Mr. Sun until an improve
ment is made." .
