No one will be admitted as a teacher who has not taught et least one year successfully, and who does not pos- sess at least a junior leaving standing. Application for admission must be made to the deputy minister of education, ac- companied by a fee of $10, A certificate of good health end moral character is required. The standing in training will be determined on the results of sessional examinations conducted by the staff, and on a final examination in practical teaching, conduoted by the department. Hereafter caudidutea, to be successful, must obtain p0 per cent of the marks In each subject of the written and practical examination, and 50 per cent of the ag- gregate marks. Candidates who obtain 75 per cent of the aggregate marks shall be awarded honors. Candidates who obteip from 60 to 50 per cent of the aggroxate may obtain a limited cortiff- cate, valid for three years. After hay- ing taught successfully for at least one year on this certificate, it may be con- verted into a life certificate by passing the final examination of the normal sohoole. Candidates who make less than 50 per cent of the aggregate will be required to attend a normal wheel another term. According to the new course of study, special attention will he given to the hewer subjects of na- ture study, elementary science, manual training and household ecieuce. Blyth le a Great Plane. According to the Teeswater News end Brussels Herald our peaceful and law-abiding village is not what it is Usually represented. Last week's Teeswater News blazoned with the following item: "From what we can learn there seems to have been quite a lively time in Blyth on Monday outside of the usual noise and bluster. Free fights which lasted for halt an hour and which the police were unable to quell took place and soros of the com- batants were very much disfigured." From what we can learn, we should judge there is lots of room for the News editor to learn a whole lot, and one of the principal things is how to go about getting reliable news for his paper. The above item is nothing but a base fabrication. There were no free fights in Blyth that day, nor no drunks. The people of Blyth and vicinity have higher Sins in life than fighting and boozing. Either the News man, or the News informant, is a member of the tribe of Ananias. The Brussels Herald bubbled and blubbered with the following: "Dick Stevens was arrested at Blyth on Mon- day for selling badges without a license, The Blyth constable, as we are inform- ed, released Dick when one of his friends handed over a five dollar bill to the 'Incumbent of the law.' It seems that Brussels contingent at Blyth's celebra- tion were not satistied with this high- handed performance and in several ways protested against the action taken by Blyth's chief of police. Its a queer piece of business when a policeman can accept five dollars from the man ho has arrested for a supposed infringement of the law, and then let him off on paying a sum of money fixed by himself; he must be a magistrate, clerk and police- man combined. The arrest of Stevens caused quite an excitement." For the benefit of the Herald man, we might say that Dick Stevens was not arrested. Blyth's chief of police asked him if ho had a license to sell badges, and upon receiving a negative answer demanded the local license fee of $5. This was paid by some of Stevens' friends, and when the Blyth authorities learned later on that Stevens was an exceedingly poor man they promptly returned the license fee to one of his friends. Chief Barr did not exceed his duty, but only carried out theinetruc- tiona given him by the local council. It could hardly be expected that the citizens of Blyth would permit every Tom, Dick and Harry from outside points to come here on a day of cele- bration and do business witbout paying something into the village exchequer. On principle, this would not be showing justice or fairness to the homesters. Dick Stevens was not the only outsider who had to pay a license fee on the 18th ; there were a good many others, includ- ing badge tellers, and who did not get the fee returped to them. Perhaps the Herald Inau will look before he leaps next tine, Successful Pupils in Music, The following is the report of Mr. W. Glenn Campbell's pupils who recently tried the Toronto conservatory of music examinations held in Goderich on the following branches: intermediate pipe organ, primary, junior and interme- diate piano, and primary and iunior theory.

This is the third year Mr. Campbell has taught these branches and had exarninatione held in Goderich since coming amongst us and es he is held to be one of the moat proficient teachers of our province, the pupils of the county have considered it a great privilege to be able to receive Jnetruc- tione from him.

Sport" and Pastimes. Teeswater defeated Kincardine at baseball in Teeswater on Monday by a score of 11 to 0. Dentine and Somers, the crack Blyth battery, played with the winners. Listowel won the lacrosse game play- ed In Listowel on .Friday evening by default from Lucknow in the junior C.L.A. aeries, Alter three 15 -minute quarters Lucknow left the field, refusing to continue the last quarter, consequent• ly the game goes to Listowel The official score was 4 to 0. Brussels football team played the Berlin Royals in Berlin on Monday evening, in the finals for the interme- diate championship in W.F.A. series. The score at the end of the first half was 1 to 1. Heller, of Berlin, strained hie leg, and had to quit, Bricker taking his place. In the second half each side scored two goals, making the score 8 to 3. Wingham suffered defeat at thehanda of the Lucknow lacrosse team in Wing - ham on Tuesday by a score of 6 to 8. Wingliam went to Lucknow a few days ago and defeated the Sepo s by (3to 2, but the tables were turned against the local team on Tuesday, even on their own grounds, Some splendid combina- tion on both sides was much admired. Lucknow's defence seemed invincible to Winghanl's sturdy little home play- ers, ia - ers, and to make goals was impossible. A large crowd witnessed the game. Coming. Prof, S. L.

Orangeville directors last year required the winners of prizes in certain classes to make affidavits that their entries were made in accordance with the rules. Trouble has developed from the fair et Caledonia, and the result is that an exhibitor was tined 160. The particulars are that a colt was entered as a three-year-old, but a rival exhibitor entered a protest claiming the animal to be four, which, upon investigation by the directors, proved to be correct. The exhibitor making the fraudulent entry wag prosecuted by the board and fined the amount above stated. -The Mitchell Recorder says that aomething should be done to secure the better treatment of livery horses while out in charge of heartless and inhuman drivers. There are a host of fellows who know little about a horse and who have no more regard for him than they have for the prince of hades, Indeed the latter commands a vast more of their consideration, such as it is. A few days ago two fellows drove through here going towards Stratford, and their horse looked as if he were well nigh famished. The fellows were looking well -too well -after themselves, but their horse was not even offered a drink, because the pump was a few rods away from where he was tied. When they drove off the poor brute—tire horse— bad to take hie refreshment in a pro- longed application of the whip from the inhuman brutes behind him. The horse belonged to Stratford.
