From accounts of the late spxamination of School Teachers held Froughout this Pro; vince on the week ending July 30ih, wd find that the Candidates in this County have on. much, more" Buesesslul / thagipthose of er "vsunties. : y Of 47 applicants in the Codnty of Outa- rio, 32 succeeded in obtaining certificates, that isover two-thirds of the applicants. In the County of Durham 31 candidates presented themselves, but only 16 obtained certificates, that is only ralf of 'the wuppli- cants. In the County of Peterboro, out of 25 applicants only 9 succeeded in obtaining « Certificates, that 1s only about one-third of the number. This is a wholesale ¢ plucking," and is a lond call to school . teachers to buckle in and bring themselves right down to the work. This wholesale ¢¢ plucking is no beiter than it is calle).-- It cannot fail to be a great annoyance to the ' unsuccessful candidates, besides a consid- erable bill of expense from not over well replenished purses. It is no light matier for many of them to leave their homes, hire a rig and drive some 20 or 30 miles, remain on expense at the hotel for a week, plodding through not overly interesting ¢ papers" for 8ix or eight hours every day for a week, and after all, be politely informed that he has bébn ¢ plucked" is an ordeal which one would not wish to pass through more than a dozon times. But the misery of the thing is that having failed to obtain a certificate, a similar ordeal must be passed through within a féw months. That such a state of matters is most undesirable,no one will deny, but there 1s one way of gelling out of it and only one, for those who wish to remain in the profession, that is *¢ read up," with a determination to l, bring the wind to bear vigorously upon the range of slug foypd in the programme, as avweauutl! in 0 NOU propuse w ubtain sufficient knowlege of these to enable you to obtain a certain claes certificate, but seek an intimate acquaintance with the various subjects, not so much with a view of pass= ing muster at the Examination, as with the far more noble and woithy object of knowing these things thoroughly yourselves as only then will you be able 10 leach then to others. There is no greater falucy than ' for swdents in any profession studying simply for the purpose of passing Examina- tion, and " cramming" themselves in order to answer the few questions that may be @1bmitted. The aspirant for any profession ought to have a much higher end in view, his ouly aim sh uid be 10 obtain thorough understanding of the requisites of the pro- fession, and he should regard the examina. tion previous to receiving a license, or cer- tificate, as rather desirable than otLerwise, 8 proper test of the amount of professional knowledge which he pussesses, whether he has been studying 10 profit or deceivin himself; aud" in the event of his being " plucked," go far from taking the pet and pouting over it, he. ought to feel thankful that he was prevented from entering upon the duties of a profession ere he thoroughly understood ite fequirements,an: as pointing "out to him his weak pointe, the subjects in which he failed, 80 that he may bring his mind to bear on these points with increased * application, in order to 0>tain such a know- Jedge of all the requisites of the profession as is, necessary lo a thorough performance of his" duties.-- wy The Examination will then be no trouble 10 him, he would rather have it than not as affording him a me ws of proving to him- "© self whether or not he hus been deceiving himesell as to the real amount of knowledge . he possessed of the various subjects cons nected with the profession to which he is * espiring. Every failure would anly prove - @n additional spur to the worthy student and make him think more of the profeseion through whose portals no incompetent 1s allowed to enter. We are quite prepared . to admit thathe prospects held out to the public school teacher-- even the most suc- ©esslul -- wheter as regards pecuniary reward, or his position in society bear no just comparison to the amount of preparation . -2equired ; and he who is not possessed of a "-." laige degree of Lhe missionary spirit, who ty does nol regard the opportunity thus offered ,. for doing good 10 the rising generation as of - far more importance than the rather slim ; respective rewards, social or pecuniary, : tter select another profession than ; tbat of school teaching.

Str,--Pardon me for again troubling you op the subject of " the best place," but the reply to my last communicationby the Rev. G. Jamieson, compels me to say a fow words. I shall hows ever be asgrief as possible, By reference to my former communication you will easily perceive the sefise in which I wrote of "the best place"--the only sense whica 1 think could have been meant by the rev, gentle- man in Lis remarks at a Bible Society Meeting, and I think he fully understood the sense in which I wrote (although he takes a round about way to show it) when he says: 'I have no hesi- " tation in saying that in some respects Prince * Albert is"the best pice. It has contributed * the largest amount to the funds of the Bible * Society ; more children attend Sabbath School '* and more people attend chureb in proportion 'to population than in Port Percy, and in some "other respects it has the advantage." This is certainly a candid admission of what was claim- ed by me, and knowing all this he has mis- construed the phrase. As to business enterprize, &c., I gave Port Perry all the eredit claimed by the rev. gentle- man, but even here taking the last 10, 15, or 20 years, [ think Prince Albert will carry off the palm, Perhaps for the last two or three years ort Perry may bave had the pre-eminence in this respection account of the large amount of] Township Funds invested in that great Railway SuierpHzs (and spon there), that immense un- dertaking which has taken three years to grade the track, and now that they a ot this, they are Tike the man who eax ht the elephant, they don't know what to do wit it. - But, Mr. Editor, my reason for addressing you at this time is more particularly for the pur pose of corrdating some errors which the rev. geutlemag laggy (however unintentionally) fallen nto. 3 from him because the Prince Albert" pars of his congregation pay two-thirds of his stipend. Well, Mr. Editor, I think Pfince Albert oc- casio} deserves g good word from bim in- dependently of this a) ther, and I did not ay i was , &e., merely mentioned this incidentally as being" the place where, &o. There are however many reasons I ooiild ge why Price Albert deserves a good word from him or any other preacher of ths gospel --but this d occu too much of fe 48 pa Pert part of his. congregation: pa, A o-third f Tr . 0! . two-thirds of his sti ore and "gays * they.

Editor, this is a severe censnre n the J Ibert: part pf his Songtegn ion, B remain uncorrected 'would be a stan ng 'to~ them ; but, Sir, 'as you yoy well know, it is a censure very ill deserved, one which the rev. gentlem=n should have {nought over. more seriously bafore blished it to the world.
