the matter was that lie returned

youthful John that he was to enter
upon the profession of teaching on
the following Monday morning.
As he had' at that time no certi-

without it, young Shaw presented
Mauna at the earliest opportunity
before the board of examiners, con-

examination was conducted orally
and the young candidate got along
very well, succeeding in giving, ap-
parently, satin actory answers to all
the qucst'ons asked with the excep-
