The old certificate reads; "We, the undersigned committee of examination into the mental and moral qualifications of such p*'rsons as make application for employment as Teachers of Common Schools in said County (Moore) have duly ex amined Miss Euphemia D, McDon ald. and being satisfied as to her I moral character do hereby certify .mat she is qualified as teacher of 1 opolling, Reading, Writing, Arith* metic, ’ each of these subjects being followed by the applicant's grade After ‘‘Arithmetic” was the grade i as far as examined, viz.. through re duction of compoiuiil numbers."
