SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-The
Bulletin this evening will publish
what it terms the secret history of
the refusal of the State Board of
Education to issue certi ficates to
applicants passing the December
examination in this city. The
statement in brief is to
the effect that in March
last an act was passed providing
that when lists of successful ap-
plicants were sent by County
Board to the State Board each one
should be accompanied by an affi-
davit pasted to the list, to the
effect that the parties had passed
fairly and without having had ac-
cess to the questions previous to
the examination. The San Fran
cisco Board pinned alfidavits to
the list instead of pasting them
and the certificates were refused on
that ground. "A curious fsctin this
connection is that the papers in the
late June examination were not ac.
companied by aifidavits ut all, yet
the State Board found no difficulty
in issuing certificates on them.

ing to the present time, with q
