COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, Messrs, Gardaer and Spangler Renomins- ted by Acclamation, The Democratic county convention met Tuesday at twelve o'clock in the court house, Bellefonte. The name of M. I. Gardner was presented for pro- thonotary. and his nomination was made by acclamation. The same method was employed to nominate N. B. Spangler for district attorney, Both these gentlemen are tilling the office for which they asked a renomination, and it was because they capably and honestly filled the position that the delegates expressed the wish of the rank and file of the Democratic party that they should again serve for another term. T he convention was called to order by county chairman John J. Bower, and the call read by the secretary, J IX Johuston. The permanpent organ- ization was effected by electing J. F.

Prof. Gramley Puzzles the Minds of Peds. gogues ut Contre Hall, The teachers’ examination held Fri- day in this place was on the whole dif- ficult compared with previous years, This state is, however, commendable. The class was composed of a dozen members—three females and eight males, most of whom were young In years, The questions propounded by Superintendent Gramley, as a rule, were practical, and were such that every school teacher should know and has had an opportunity to know, The class as a whole made a bungle in spelling. In some cases as many as seventeen out of the twenty-five words were missed. Here are the words, and after you have seen them iu print you will declare they are easy, but you will be fooled if you try them later on : 1. Advise. 14. Hypocrisy.

The lown- ship has the distinction of paying the least wages of any district in the county, and by standing at the foot of the column in this respect the Potter township school board brought upon itself more or less deris- iou which it proposes to unload. school has A law recently passed by the legis- lature and signed by the Governor will be of interest to school teachers. The measure provides that hereafter appli cants for teacher® certificates must pass examinations in Algebra and Civil Government, The law does pot add two branches to the common curriculum, but holds that school teachers should have a knowl edge of these two branches in order to properly teach those branches already provided for. The point is well taken. these school There can be no other reason than lack of interest in their profession, which accounts for the fact that school teachers will not attend loeal insti tutes. A roll call of the class at Cen- tre Hall developed the fact thst but teacher attended local institutes duriog the school year just one closed Thete is the best of evidence that the granting of professional and perma- nent certificates is not condusive to the good of the common school sys tern. There are a number of school teachers in Potter township who hoid number were sufficiently interested to the examinations held last Friday ! The professional certificate, the ‘per- manent certificate, the certificate se- cured in any way longer lived than one year, should be set aside. Why 7° Be- cause if the holder is entitled to such recognition it will be an easy matter to stand before the examiner every year ; if they can not easily stand this test, they have no right to an undue _iadvantage over an honest competitor for a position.
