Out of total of l76 applicants for
third grade certificates 105 were success
ful, but out of this number six received I'M
signed certificates because their age was
not quite what is required. These will be
signed, however, in case scarcity of
teacher makes it necessary. There ae
at present no indications that it will be
necessary to issue limited certificates
since there will be enough holding third
second and first grade certificates to fill
the schools. Cutting off the lin tied GER
tlhcates and raising the minimum stand
ing IN the moro important branches have
had salutary effect upon the teaching
force as a whole, and if the progressive
splnt that is manifesting itself is not |
checked Manltowoc county will have no |
reason TO be dissatisfied with the effort |
put forth by the teachers to increase the |
efficiency of the schools. But with in
creased efficiency there should come in |
creased wages, and without the latter per-
nanency IN the former canuot be assured.
Beyond doubt the most serious prob

-lon IN this country is the question of
