To the Superintendent: Shortly before the date of the exam-1 ination, June 13 and 14, questions will be sent by express to each Coun ty Superintendent, and to those spe cial systems where arrangements are made with this Department. If the questions are not received by June 10, communicate with me without fail on that day by telephone or telegraph. Please note the condition of the pack age and see if the seals have been broken. Within the package you will find envelopes containing the ques tions. Those marked June 13 should be opened at 8:30 on Friday morning in presence of the applicants; those dated June 14 should not be opened until the same hour on Saturday. On Friday the teachers are given the examination for the Primary Li cense and this is also the first day’s work for the General Elementary. In addition, on this date questions will as Huiter’s or that by Bailey and be sent for two of the five groups of the High School and Supervisory ex amination: 1. History (Ancient, Mod-; ern, and English) and 2. Languages (Latin, French, German, Spanish and Greek). Two of these languages only are required. Also on t’w date there will be questions for Loth the High | School and the Elementary Reading' Courses, and the questions on the His- ; tory and Geography for those teach-1 ers having licenses from other states. | On Saturday there will be questions [ for the last half of the General Ele- ’ mentary examination and for Eng-’ lish, Science, and the Mathematics! in the High School Test.

Since the last | mentioned subject is' [ comparatively ( new it should be said that su'ch a text I Coleman is sufficient- as a basis for | operation. Mathematics will include I Arithmetic, Algebra through Quad- ratics, and Plane Geometry. The High School and Supervisory Certificate may be secured by taking examination on any three of the five groups mentioned in the System of Certification. Applicants are to take all subjects of the three groups se lected except in case of the Language I group where two only are required. This certificate not only gives author ity to teach all of the high school studies but also to give instruction in the Primary and General elementary grades as well. If you have an applicant for Pro fessional license, your letter request ing this must certify as to the diplo ma, (giving the name of the college and the year granted) at least three years of successful teaching, attend ance "for one session on such a sum mer school as the University of Geor • gia, Knoxville, Chicago, etc., and an J average of 75 per cent upon the Read- I irg Course examination. Profession al certificates may be sent out from the State Department only upon meet ing the four requirements just men tioned. Where there is any doubt as to a teacher’s ability to obtain this Professional Certificate it would be better to take the high school test and to secure the High School and Super visory License. It is especially to be desired that the examination be above reproach from the standpoint of good order and honesty. Occasionally criticism is heard as to carelessness in these’ particulars in a few localities. If communication is allowed and there is careless supervision the results ob tained are of little value, some sys tems will be unwilling to accept the certificates, and our whole educational work suffers in the estimation of all good citizens. The Superintendent has the right to pay for all the help needed to supervise the examination properly, and there should be no carelessness and indifference 'at this point. Papers are to be graded by the Su perintendents as usual. They will, of course, consult with the State De partment about the grading of High School papers where necessary. The Consolidation Sheet of the Cen |sus Returns should be sent forward I as soon as it is ready and not later | than May 31. ' In order that the teachers may have i full information about these matters please give this letter as much pub- ' lici.ty as possible. Sincerely yours, ' M. L. BRITTAIN, State Superintendent of Schools. •EKWLES : LOCATION IS PECULIAR AND PEO PLE SAY THE ONLY SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM IS A NEW COUNTY. ; Atlanta, Gi. —Os all the communi-' f ties in Ceo.gia, possibly in the south, > involved in political, legal and other troubles purely as a result of loca tion, Winder, a thriving. northeast : Georgia city of 3,000 inhabitants, . holds the palm. Winder is situated in three counties, । three senatorial districts and two con gressional districts, and out of these 1 conditions base arisen numerous and ' perplexing complications to which there is no possible so.ution, the peo ple have found, except in the c cation ' of a new county. Acco d ngly they ■ are appealing to the legislature to ..create the new county of Barrow, to J be named in honor of the chancellor 'I of the State University, and to make ! ! Winder the county seat. The point where the Unes of ths .’three counties, Jackson, Walton and ; Gwinnett, come together, is not 5b ' I feet irom the center of Winder. A i: person can stand on Athens street, . running through Winder, st e.ch one ; hand into Jackson and the other into : Gwinnett and can look . a few feet. 1 ahead of Um over into Walton. Peo ■ pie living on one side of the street . attend court at Jeilc; 1 :-; a, 30 mues away by railroad; those on the ’other ’ side go to court at Lawrenccvi le. 17 > miles distant, while on toe other end > ’ of the'street, they go down to Moa । roe, which is 16 mile^. Serious legal Ufricaltics are said to have arisen cut of this sit’.aiion. Law yers d awing deeds and other impor ; taut papers in Jackson county, for in stance, have, without thinking about 1 it, had they witnessed by Gwinnett or Walton county notaries, and vice i versa. Competent attorneys who have , looked into the question, exp:ess the. opinion that this is liable to injuie the titles to property, should anyone ■ make a point of it. A prominent citi zen of Winder died the other day, leaving property in various sections of the city. His widow had to go to ' three different courts of ordinary to secure letters of administration. Has Political Troubles. Located on the border hue, Winder - suffers politically. It is seldom the town secures a representative in the legislature, and such a thing as a senator from Winder is practically un ' known. With Jackson and Gwinnett > in the ninth congressional distr.ct and Walton in the eight, it is said neith er congressman ever bothers much [ about Winder, each usually leaving it to the other. Jackson is in the 33d senatorial dis trict, Gwinnett, is in the 34th and Walton in the 27th. It is an easy mat ter to see liow numerous complica tions, political and otherwise, may i arise as the result of this bad mix-up . in location. The school problem is another with which Winder has to wrestle. Each ■ county pays a diffe ent amount for its ; pupils, and each has somewhat (li ferent regulations. None of the three counties lias given proper care to the roads around Winder; possibly they have all done their best in the mat ter of road construction and improve ment, but this has not relieved the situation as to Winder. There is no wonder that the peop'e of Winder have been endeavoring for nine years to secure a new county, and yc-t they have failed in the face of the fact that all those who have Studied the situation, and who are not ’ prejudiced, are generally agreed that | Winder has always presented the strongest and best new county pro position in the state. Politics, how ever, is said to have been responsible fur Winder s defeat, despite the fact that it is not a political question. Purely a Business Propose.:. The people of Winder p. esent their [ proposal fcr a new county purely as a ' business one; they assert they are [ simply seeking reaet from tl o many tangies in winch they are involved as , a result of their location, and their appeal is one of the strongest th.it has yet come to the legislature from any part o, the state. According to the plans whicn Win der p.esents for the establishment of Barrow county, it is not piuposed materially to injure any one of the three counties from which territory is to be taken. Gwinnett county is asked to give ’ 72 square miles and 4,012 populat on to Harrow. This would leave it with 438 square miles and 28,121 popula tion and still larger than 88 other counties in Georgia. Jackson co’nty is asked to give Burrow 83 square miles and 5,750 b population, leaving it with 317 square., miles and 2-1,319 population. it would ; sti:l be larger .hang 3 other Georgia ; counties.. . , W alien county is asked to give Ear row .24 square miles and 2,OSS popula- : tion, leaving it with 342 square mi es and 23,305 inhabitants, and still larg er than 53 other Georgia counties. Taking the territorry indicated, Bar low county would have 179 square ! miles 11,850 population and 52125,- UOO of taxable values not including railroad property. There would be ten ; Georgia counties sma ler than Barrow. j The new county would be 21 m#les long and fourteen miles wide. The new county includes five incorporat- ’ ed towns besides Winder, namely, Statham, Bethlehem, ' Auburn, Rus sell and Carl. Winder, with 3,000 inhabitants, has seventy-five prosperous business en terprises; has fourteen manufactur ing plants capitalized at $500,000; three cotton warehouses handling nearly 20,000 kales; three banks, two railroads, the Seaboard Air Line and Gainesville Midi nd, and the other facilities of » modern, np-to-da.e Geor gia community. Feeling confident that their situa tion must appeal to the wisdom and justice of legislators, the . people of Winder bespeak the earnest co-opera tion and assistance of their frieml-1 over the’ state. .^IG SANDY. 1T • f \ '■ ' ' ' , : It seems that we are having .blen^of rain here of late;? .!
