license or diploma OF equal or higher grade
la the opinion OF said state board o. education
/ Provided, That the provisions OF TINS act shall
not take effect and be in force till on aud alter
the FIRST Monday OF November, 1894.
Senator Ellison made a convincing ar
gument in favor of better grade of school
suoerintendents. There were superintend-
ents in various counties who held only six
N nths licenses when elected. There
would be no trouble in finding men with
the proper qualifications to run Tor the Of
/ fees The majority Of the superintend-
ents were for the bi ]. The opposition
came from the mossback superintendent.
Senator Vail could not see how the school
would be benefited.
Senator McCutcheon said there was no
reason wiz the county c.erk shou not
pass an examination il this bill became a
law.
Senator Clifford said this was the same
old story, the speeches against the bill
were the same Old speeches made against
the proposition 10 license the school
teacher years ago; the sAme argum ents
used against licensing druggists. This
was a measure in the right direction.
The county superinteudents duty did not
consist in issuing licenBes-but he was re-
CURED to visit the school and instruct the
teachers to conduct their schools. Ii the
superintendent was not qualified 10 teach
he could not direct poor teachers when
visiting schools.
Senator Sellers speech against the bill
attracted the attention of the galleries and
the senators as well. He took the ground
that the less man knew the better
superintendent he would make. He be-
ieved in the law requiring fr5t-class IL
censes.
Senator McDonald-"Do you believe
We ought to return to the old system of
boarding around ?"
Mr. seller evaded the question and
maze the statement that no one held
state licenses. Mr. Ellison answered that
over four hundred teachers held them.
His speech helped the friends of the bill.
for it placed those who opposed il in a ri
diculOus attitude. nator McKevey
took strong grounds in favor of the bill.

senators were absent, and az they were all
