The following resolutions are taken from the minutes of the Board Resolved, That in those localities in which the number of children do siring to attOnd school is loss than the minimlunm nuubor proscribed by the various boards of trustees for the establis}h:menut of schools, teachers I should if po rsible be procured, the Colpena:t.ionh in such cases to be loss than that usually allowed to the gra.le of certiiicato held by the teachler.

ResolVed, Th.t Lhis U3Lvrd has re ceived with gratification the en cour.aging reports of the prgrs inl education ma.de by the colored chiil children in cortain portions of the State, espei:dly in U.irloston. The following rules, for the ex. am iation of appicaLnts for the posifla of teacher in the public schools, weio adopted uinder the authority given to the Sta to Board of E uinlers ini sub1-divyiensf 2 and 3 of secton 5 of "an A.'t to alter and amendl the School Law of South CJarolina,"- approved March 22nd, 1878. 1 All exuninations be(for'o connly boards of examiners imust h)o inl writ ing. exeelpt examiunationms inl read ng, and1( imust bo0 coniducted onl quetstionis prepared b)y the SLate su perin tend ont of education ; separato questions to) be p)ropated for etch of tho three gradols. 2.

That app)licants h~eoor county boards shall be examinted in orthog raphy, reading, wvriting, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, his tory of the United States and of this State. 5. That applicants for teachers' State certificate nmut appear before the State Board of Examiners at the regular meeting, which wvill b'e hold in Columbia during the first weolk in May, and the first woeok in Sop.. tember of each year, and thait in addition to the branches of studyI mentioned in the foregoing rule said applicants must be examined in algebra, natual philosophy and physiology. In accordance with tihe provisions of rule 1, school commissioners will be furnished with qinestions, before each exambioMion, onl applicatio~n to this ofilco. fThoe .questione Will lie *ant in sedled emvelo]pesa wi"h should be openM on 5the day 91f examinat4ongn the presen3e et. bar boen roeived from any sourco whatever. These precautions should bo observed to provent applicaente fromu obtaining copies of the ques-, Hioms beforo the examination, and 1lso from roc?oiviug assistal:co after the! ex-1miation begins. The great want in our public schools is for b.wttor to.ehet's. Until training schools for teachers can be estab lishod, the State Board and the :ounty boards must bo relied on to securo competent instructiOr, and for this reason great care 3hould be exercised in the oxamina tions. I would especially urgo that rn person b0 granted ia certificate to,n aiition1 to othell requir t,u'nts, has not the hii;lt moral quatli ie'ntions which shoill ho possessed uy every one who is entrusted with the implortaut work of teaching the youth of our State. The school law gives to the State Board of Examiners authority to seleet a uniform series of text books to ho used in the public sclools. Thc books will be relected at the next meeting of the Board, which will ho held during the first week in September, and it is hoped that )y the beginning of the next school yea:r thero will be in use, in all :loumties in the S'ate, books well td.ipted to the assistanee of teachers mnd the instruction of pupils. The Act to amend the school law u now in the hands of the printor. Dopies for the use of the school ofli Jcrs in your county will be sent to you as soonl as possible. Very respectfully, Huou S.
