Miss Regain moved that all persons who
hereafter apply for high school certificates
be examined in special studies-literature
geometry and algebra.
Mr.. Johnson seconded the motion.
Messrs. Hyde and Bishop and Miss Nc
Cormack considered such action unfair dis
elimination, in view of the fact that so
many high school certificates had already
been granted upon State diplomas.
Professor Hyde said that he perceived
the folly of granting high school certificates
solely upon State educational papers to
some persons who never studied high
school branches, but the Board acted in
conformity with Sections 1775 and 1892 of
the Political Code, and with the decisions
of the State Superintendent of Public In
struction, as published some months ago
in the REcoRD-UNIoN. If, however, some
persons wish to receive high school certifi-
Gates entirely upon the merits of an exam
ination, the proper course seemed to be TO
examine such persons upon the regular
high school branches, just as grammar
school certificates have been and will be
issued upon grammar school branches.
Miss Mccormack said that the members
of the Board had provided themselves with
high school certificates on their life and
educational diplomas and she considered
1t unfair to require others TO undergo q
special examination. She should certainly
oppose the making of any such distinction
In reply to remark made by member
to the effect that if the motion were carried
it would prevent SO many primary teachers
getting these certificates, Miss Mccormack
said that the majority of the primary
VIZ of Of he IL,
school, and some of them were better edu-
Gated than those who were occupying
higher positions.
Action on Miss Regan's motion was
deferred until the next regular meeting, on
motion of Mr.. Bishop. Ayes-Messrs
Bishop and Hyde and Miss Mccormack.
Noes-Mr. johnson and Miss Regain.

resolution, which was adopted:
Resolued That applicants for recommended.
tons to the State Board of Education for educa.
