THE COURIER has been repeated
ly asked if a person can 60 before
the county superintendent and take
a private examination for certificate
to teach school. The only answer
we can give to the question is found
in section I21, school laws, found in
session laws of 1890, and is as fol-
lows: "The county superintendent
may grant a permission to teach
until the next regular examination to
any person applying at any other
time than at regular examination
who can show satisfactory reasons
for failing to attend such examina-
ton, subject to rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the state super
intendent." The answer is clear
enough and seems the satisfactory
reasons are left to the discretion of
the superintendent.

The town board passed two or three
very good ordinances at their last
regular meeting. One ordinance
passed was in relation to fast driving
and running horses on our public streets,
and is just what has been needed for q
long time. This horse racing on the
public streets is a dangerous practice
and has been menace to personal
safety for long time. The board
should see to it that the marshal at
tends to his business and see that the
ordinance is enforced. 1t won't hurt
the marshal at all to earn his salary in
this line. Another ordinance passed
was prohibiting the driving of cattle or
vehicles across the sidewalks otherwise
than the regular crossings. This also
is much needed ordinance and should
be strictly enforced. The present
board has passed some good ordinances
and all 1t needs now is the proper en-
forccment of the same.
