The kinds of ', certificates that applicants may stand for, the schedule of the examination and the subjects are given. Teachers need not write the superintendent of education and ask for copies of the / questions, as some have already'done. - The questions are not now in his hands and if they were they would not be given out. H State Teachers' Examination, to be Held at Each County Seat Friday, October 7, and Saturday, October 8. - / The county superintendent of eduV cation, member of the county board of education or other person conducting the examination is requested to read this sheet to the assenfbled applicants at the opening of the examination. At the outset each applicant should be directed to supply fully and accurately every item of information called for on his or her individual envelope. Questions should not be fur fe nished to any but bona fide applicants who have supplied these preliminary | \ 'data and who have declared their intention to take the examination. ' | Applicants may stand for a primary certificate, first, second or third grade; a general elementary certificate, first, second or third grade; a high school i" certificate, first grade only. It will be impossible for any applicant to take more than one examination successju . fully. Any attempt to double work and thereby cover two groups of questions is sure to result in failure. l The primary examination covers 12 subjects: Friday ' forenoon-English grammar and language, one hour; arithmetic, one hour; playground and community activities, one hour. 'X <-\ . Friday afternoon?History, South Carolina, United States, and General, : one hour; geography, one hour; civics and current events, one hour.

Redd's store, fors x merly my .old stand, where I will make a specialty of ; Jbuying and selling good fresh field and garden seed. Particular attention given to Rye, Oats and Peas. Now have good quantity of Abruzzi Rye at $2.75 bushel. Also good supply seed wheat and oats. * Come to me for your needs in all kinds of seeds. Prices right. A. J. MATHIAS. L analysis and composition. literature, principles of teaching. | Friday afternoon?American history j and civics, science (seven subjects offered, two required), general science, ( physiology, biology, physics, chemistry, ^ agriculture, home economics. Saturday forenoon?Arithmetic, al- i gebra, geometry. ] Saturday afternoon?Foreign lan- ] guage (one required), Latin, French, ] Spanish, German; ancient and modern history, school law. ( The' subjects should be given in or- ^ ' der listed and the time allowed for each subject should be carefully ob served. Three hours' continuous work at a sitting has been deemed sufficient. The examination, therefore, will cover two days, with forenoon and afternoon tests each day. It is recommended that one hour and thirty minutes be used for the noon recess. Applicants should not be permitted to leave the room while the examination is in progress. Under no circumstances should questions of any; kind be furnished any one except applicants. Permission " to leave the room should be given only after all papers have been handed in. A uniform percentage basis governs the gradation of all certificates in all three groups. A general average of 85 per cent, with not less than 60 in any one sub- j ject entitles the applicant to a first grade ^certificate; a general average of 75 with not less than 55 in any one subject entitles the applicant to a second grade certificates; a general average of 65 with not less than 50 in any i one subject entitles the applicant to a \1 third grade certificate. Each applicant is responsible for his : V ; \ or her individual envelope and its con-! tents. When the examination on any one subject is completed, all papers | on this subject should be neatly fold-. g ed together, marked on the back with j the applicant's name and the subject and placed in the envelope before j f work in the next subject is begun. The I g work of the graders will be facili-j tated if each page is also marked with! thfe name of both the applicant and the t aiiH-iort At fhp nlnco r?f thp firef dav ? ? |t the applicant should seal his envelope j and give it to the county superinten- dent, who then becomes responsible r for it. A second envelope should be 0 handed each applicant on the morning' of the second day. ! t Applicants are expected to furnish i ^ paper and writing materials. The I j, county superintendent is responsible I jfor assembling, wrapping and prompt-, I ly forwarding all papers from his ' q county. j t | Rules and regulations prescribed by i b the state board of Education.
