~ had two examinations In the county.

OF several OF the applicants 10 the
state suporlnt eudent TO be submitted
TO the state board OF examiners with
view OF obtaining state certificates,
The state superintendent refused to
submit the papers to the state board
OF examiners On AAt blbhilA AAAAt Nlt

were Illegal, since the law provides
for only one county board OF exam
lners for each county and for an ex-
animation nj but one place In the
county and requires that all the mem
bers OF the county board OF examiners
shah be present at each examination,
From this decision superintendent Pal
