The other day we had a lively de-
bate as to whether county superin-
tendent can issue a certificate to a
person under eighteen years Of age.
For mere satisfaction to support our
argument we publish the following
section from the new school law. 1t
is the same under the old law:
Sec. 122. No certificate or per-
mission to teach shall be issued to
any person under eighteen years Of
age; and no first grade certificate
shall be issued to any person who is
under twenty years Of age and who
has not taught successfully twelve
school months; the certificates issued
by county superintendent shall be
valid only in the county where issued
provided, that firstgrade certificate
may be renewed once without exam
ination at the discretion OF the coun
ty superintendent; provided further
that a first grade certificate shall b.
valid in any other county in thu
state when endorsed by the county
superintendent of such county. N.
person shall be employed or per.
mitted to teach in any Of the publ,
schools of the state, except those il
cities organized for school purpose
under special laws, who is not tn
holder of lawful certificate of quail
ifcations or such temporary permis
sion. Any contract made in viola
ton of this section shall be void.

Wheat is jumping these days. A

The kicker is stalking around
again. Two weeks ago the Courier
published the official proceedings of
the county commissioners containing
a number of adjournments. Now
these kickers rise up and commence
to throw mud by saying that it is
reckless extravaganza on the part OF
the board. In order to vindicate the
board of commissioners we wish to
remark that during the time Of the
several adjournments the commits
sioners-being alltarmers-were put
ting in their crops and did not ap-
pear and of course the auditor, in or
der to comply with law had to make
minute of each adjournment and
place it on record and it had to be
published according to the way it
appeared on the official records.
The commissioners did not receive a
cent during all this time and the only
cost to the county was about S1.75
for publishing the proceedings. Some
people would kick if they were going
to be hanged. These kickcrs had
better eat fish to furnish themselves
with brains.

If there have been any items of inter-

them, presumably on account of the
clouds of dust that have been gently
waited to and fro. The wind has un-
doubtedly damaged the crops, yet the
rains and fine weather have wonderful
ly frightened up the whipped fields.
Early sowing will very likely be quite
weedy from the backward weather we
had in May.
J.W. Fiero took a trip east last week
to look for lumber. He will build a
large addition to his house this month.
