My dear Editor: The grades of all of those who sat at the recent Teacier’s Examinations have been forwardel to the Director of Education in St. Thomas. The results taken as a whole are good and better thiun the showing made last year. To iilustrate, how the standards of our teaching force is being raised from year toyear the following is significant: In 1921 we had three teachers holding a Prircipal Teachers’ License;in 1922 there were five; and from the results of the recent examinations the total will be increased to ten., The.individual teachers are becoming more;.interested in their work from a professicnal point'of view and it is evi- dent that the future of our teachers is -ssuredj.if they continue to apply them- se’es seriously to their work and study dilligently to rank first in theirclass.
