Educational Pointers. In order that a man may tweet a Pura lie School in Ontario he must be, at least, eighteen years of ago; he mob have certain literary qualifications and a pro. torsional training. The Hall Bloke of hie literary atanding are either Junior Leaving certificates or Senior Leaving certificates. Each of these examinations may be taken in two parte, either at the eame time or one or more years apart. The First Part of Junior Leaving is neually taken in two years after passing Otto Entrance Examination for admission to the High School, and the Part Second in one or two years after posing the First Part. Hence it usually takes four years from the time a pupil passes the Entranoe Examination until he passes the full Junior Leaving, Then after attending a County Model School for four months, and posing a final examination before Otto County Board of Examiners, he is awarded a Professional Third Class cer- tificate which authorizes him to teaoh for three year's in any Publio School. After he has taught successfully for one, two or three years he meg attend a Normal Sohool for five months. After passing a final examination there he is awarded a Professional Second Class certificate which authorizes: him to teaoh in any Public: School during good behaviour. The Senior Leaving Examination may be taken in two parts' eaoh part takes at loge one year. Bothparte may be taken At ono. Candidates holding Senior Leaving certificates, and at least twenty one years of age, may attend the Normal Oollege at Hamilton, the eession of whioh lasts about eight roonthe. After passing the final examination they are awarded interim certificates. Tide authorizes them to teaoh in any Public or High School. If successful teachers, after one year, these oertificates are roade permanent during good behaviour. The present syetem of teething and licensing teaohere is an evolution of that inaugurated by Dr. Ryerson in 1871. Anyone comparing carefelly the two epitome must reaoh one of two wraith- sions, either Dr. Ryerson wae a true Educational prophet or that we are about tie coneervative as the Chinese.
