Negro Killed His
In
tion
a recent letter of informa- ^ Last Saturday night a negro
suggestion from State woman, Annie Glover,was shot and
School Commissioner Merritt to ; killed by a Winchester rifle in the
County School Commissioners, house of her husband, John Glov
er. Slip lived several hours, and
made a statement as to the kill
ing.
Tuesday Coroner Schilling and
Deputy Sheriff Riley went to the
farm of Mr. H. S. Feagin, near
Wellston where the killing occurr
ed, and held an inquest over the
dead body.
No one other than the hus
band and wife was present when
the shooting occurred, and the
testimony was conflicting.
In the ante-mortem statement,
in the presenoe of Messrs. Rob
ert Feagin and C. A. Evans, she
said that she was trying to take
the gun from her husband and
that the shooting was accidental.
To anegro, [.several witnesses say,
she said her husband shot her.
There was oiroumstantial evidence
of a fuss between them.
The coroner’s jury declared the
killing mttu-slaughter, and Glover
was brought to Perry and placed
in jail that night by Deputy Sher
iff Riley.

there is much of importance to
such teachers as may again apply
for license. Commissioner Smith
requests us to publish the follow
ing concerning the basis of the
questions to be embraced in the
next examination;
You may announce that the
following books, which are already
in the hands of nearly all the
teachers, w.ill be used as basis for
some of the questions in the next
examination of applicants for
teacher’s license:
Applicants who desire to secure
a third grade license should study:
1. The Common School Branches.
2. Manual of Methods for
Georgia Teachers.
8. Page’s Theory and Practice
of Teaching, (Branson’s or any
edition.
Applicant’s who desire to secure
second grade license should
study;
1 The Common School Branches.
2. Manual of Methods for|Goor-
gia Teachers,
8. Page’s Theory and Practice
of Teaching, Branson’s, or any
edition.
4. Roark’s Methods in Educa
tion#
Applicants for first grade li
cense should study the above lists,
as only one set of questions will
be prepared; but the questions
yrill be so graded that two or
three questions on each subject
will be more difficult than the
others. By this nJeans, while not
lowering the standard of third
and second grade licenses, I hope
to raise the standard for a first
grade license and for a perma
nent state license.
If the applicants for first grade
licenses expect to send their ex
amination papers to this depart
ment and make application for
permanent state licenses, it would
be well for them to review care
fully the following books or sub
jects in addition to the above
lists:
1. Include Civios with History.
2. Spencer’s Essays on Educa
tion. Several editions, ranging
from 10 cents to $ 1.25.
8. History and Philosophy
Education.
4. Psychology.
5. Include English and Amer
ican Literature with Reading and
Grammar.
6. Include Elementary Phys
ics and Physioal Geography with
Common School Geography.
Youis very truly,
W. B. Merritt.
State School Commissioner.
