TEACHERS, CERTIFICATES.
Recent Important Decisions by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

superintendent of Public Instruction.
The following decisions rendered by the
Department of Public instruction of Cali
fornia, m answer to questions recently asked
by different County Boards of Education are
elf-explanatory, and of interest to teachers
First-County Boards of Education have
power to renew certificates heretofore
granted by City Boards of Examination,
but not to extend their use outside of the
cities. 10 renew them is simply to prolong
their Tune OF validity; but not to alter them
in any important particular.
Second-County Board certificates issued
previous to the adoption of the constitu-
honal amendment do not authorize the
holders to teach in cities. These docu-
ments are not affected by the amendment
Ihlrd-lt is necessary for High School
teachers to hold the High School certificate
provided for in Section 1901 Political Code
Fourth-County Boards of Education be-
ing the successors to the powers exercised
by the City Boards of Examination in these
respects, they can issue special and High
School certificates to be used where they
were formerly used. For these purposes,
and until blank forms shall be specially
prepared, you might use the old blank
forms with the necessary changes made in
manuscript.
tltth-High School certificates may be
granted, without examination, by the Coun-
ty Board OF EDUCATION upon life diplomas
and educational diplomas of California,
upon California State Normal School diplo-
mas, California State University diplomas
when recommended by the Faculty of the
University, upon High School certificates
of other cities of California. and upon the
life diplomas and State Normal School d.
plomas of other States
Slxth-The County Superintendent NAV.
upon the order of the County Board of Ed
ucatlon, issue temporary certificates to the
holders OF any certificates granted in other
counties, cities or cities and counties of this
State which are valid and in full force.
These temporary certificates cannot be
issued on expired certificates, and they
must be of Ike grade with the certificates
upon which they are issued
Seyenth-County Boards have power to
grant full-term certificates upon like GER
titicates of other cities of California. They
cannot, however, grant county certificates
upon any of these city certificates.
Eghth-An expired certificate cannot be
renewed and that which is dead cannot
have its life prolOnged-thcre is no life to
prolong. That such was the intent of the
law is evident from the consideration that
II certificate could be renewed after being
dead for day, then one could after lapse
OF year or twenty years, which is absurd,
| could not recognize such a renewed GER
tificate rs valid
Ninth-When member of the County
Board OF Education prepares students for
examination by the Board of which he is q
member his action is, in my opinion, nm
professional conduct.

Protest from State University Student,

iTotesI from state University Students.
The following protest was signed by 95
per cent of the students of the University
of California at Berkeley:
There is law on the statute books of
this State prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within two miles of the Uni
versity grounds. This law is openly evaded
and violated. The impression exists
throughout the State that the students en-
courage the violation of this law. This
impression has no foundation in fact on
the contrary,
We, the undersigned students of the
University of California, enter our public
protest against the non enforcement of this
law. This protest, however, is made not
from any feeling of the necessity for pro-
lection.
The following resolutions were adopted
at a mass meeting of the students, with
only three dissenting votes:
WHEREAS, false impression regarding the
moral character of the University students pre-
walls throughout the State, and the people gem
orally believe the students aid and abet the
violation of the two-mile liquor law: and
whereas. this false impression Injuries very ma
terially the reputation of the University and
deterS many from reaping the benefits which a
generous State provides; and, whereas. pro-
test against the violation of the University
nquor law has been signed by nearly all the
students of the University and whereas, the
students think that this law should be enforced,
not because they deem it necessary for the
preservation of their good moral status, but be-
cause in common with all good citizens they
desire to see the laws of our State respected;
therefore be it
Resolued. That we, the students of the Uni
verSity of California in mass meeting as
sembled, hereby indorse said protest as the ex-
preston of the student body And be it further
Resotred. That we most emphatically deny
that there is any truth in the impression pre-
vailing in the minds of many regarding the
immoral condition of the students
We feel assured that the moral status of this
University will bear favorable comparison with
that of any other similar institution in the
United States. In order that the people of Cali
fornia may justly and clearly understand our
position. be it further
Resolred. That copies of the protest and these
resolutions be forwarded for Justification to the
leading journals of the State.

TIE UNIVERSITY PROTEST.

The students of the State University
have passed resolutions protesting against
the non-enforcement of the law prohibiting
the sale of liquors within Il given distance
of the University. Had they stopped there
in their resolutions it would have been
well. Bnt they kick over the milk pail by
| explaining that their action is taken to re-
move the popular impression that they are
an immoral lot, and really connive at the
violation of the law. They protest that
they are moral, law-abiding and good fell
lows generally We have not doubt of
1t. There was no popular impression that
| they were immoral, or law-brcakers There
was no popular belief that they were bad
lot. On the contrary, the general iudg-
ment is that they fairly represent the
young manhood of the State, and are types
of the best elements of the commonwealth.
A few papers have scmdalized them, but
in the judgment of the people it has not
been written that the students are other
than manly set of young men, seeking to
avail to the full of the benefits
of a liberal education-a collection
of youths whose predecessors have sent
into the varied fields of activity some of
the best manhood Of the State. As mat
ter Of fact, the graduates are to be found
in the workshops, engineering fields, pro-
fessional walks, the marts of commerce,
the indepcndency Of agriculture, and the
halls of education. As rule the gradu-
ates OF our University have done well.
The Blue and Gold" recently issued,
shows that very few, remarkably few, have
failed in life. Ninety-nine hundredths of
them have made good and useful citizens.
and are engaged in honorable vacations.
Such results could not flow from a nom
lawabiding class, nor class addicted to
the use Of strong drink. Now, if the Uni
versity boys are as sincere as we believe them
to be, they can enforce the law which
they complain is prominent only in its
non-observance. They may pass resolu-
tons from this time on to graduation day
| for the last of them, and it will do no
good whatever. Let them act, and the
whole State will stand to their backs. If
the law is violated, let them complain to the
law Courts, and demand warrants. They
can marshal the proofs more easily than
any others, and there is not a community
in all the State that will not applaud their
bravery, which is just now the one thing
they lack.

the Court did not express like concur
renee, for that would have settled forever
a disputed question, and have cut the
ground from under the feet of such
disputatious fellows as Leverson, who can
raise more technical questions in one hour
than Legislatures and Courts can de-
termine in years. But it is traditional
with our Court of last resort that it avoids
consideration of some vital points when
ever it can, and prefers at all times to de-
eide a case upon one or two points raised,
and leave others unsettled, as nest-eggs for
further litigation. The issue regarding
the reading of amendments was an i'm
portant one. Why should the majority of
the Supreme Court have avoidedit? What
reason is there for their saying: "If it
should be conceded that the Act of 1883 is
invalid" etc, unless they desire the people
to think that there still remains doubt in
the judicial mind as to the validity of that
Act? The whole case was before them
they must have concluded that the Act of
1888 is valid or invalid. Or do they wish
us to assume that they skipped consid-
Grafton of that issue, and sought out a
technical matter on which to base a iudg-
ment? We venture the assertion that a
very large part Of the overplus of work
put upon the Court, and which necessitated
the establishment of the new Court Com
mission TO help it out of the mire, is due
to the avoidance by the Court of material
issues, and the going to judgment upon
one or two points only. \ decision by a
Court of last resort should be as nearly
final as is possible, and as conclusive as
human reason can make it against suisse
quent litigation.
But Of one thing We may congratulate
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ambitious desires are
cropped, and he viii be compelled to re-
main at home and try other methods of
getting into the House of Representatives.

He enters manly protest, pointing out
that his removal from the Treasury is due
wholly to political influences, and Mr..
Manning by accepting the resignation with

There is but one civil service reformer in
the Cabinet, and his name is Grover Cleve-
land. But even he is unable to resist all
the pressure that is brought to bear upon
him. His party hates the very words
civil service reform, and on that issue in
1883 they will go to battle and be glori-
ously whipped by the Republicans.

THE people of the State are in hearty
sympathy with the workers in San Fran
cisco who are resisting the boycotting
schemes of the Chinese cigar-makers.
Should the Chinese succeed in this effort
against one trade, they will be emboldened
to attempt like procedure against others,
and thus it will not be long until all labor
followings will be under their control. But
the resisting workingmen of San Francisco
must shake off the socialistie and commun-
istic vermin that seek to influence their
acts. The workers have made a manly,
lawful and temperate platform that COM
mands the respect of the people, Let them
stand true to it.

THE New York Herald devotes leader
to laudation of Mary Anderson's dramatic
genius, as product of American civiliza-
ton. As Mary was born in Sacramento,
this people may take fair share of pride
in her success. Sacramento, they may
maintain, is a first-class place to be born
in. 1t remains to he seen when Mary
comes here, as she announces her intention
to be, whether she will play to this people
at a reasonable figure for admission to the
theater, or make commerce of her birth
place by " cinching" the people whom she
hopes are proud of her, to the tune of two
and three dollars ticket. We have such
faith in her sense Of the fitness of things
as to believe she will shake the managerial
spectators for once, when she visits the
place of her birth.
