tifcate; after months Of correspondence
he has not yet succeeded in obtaining
certificates that show that his average
standing IN natural science was 80 per
cent, in geography 100 per cent, and in
history 100 per cent, he could not get
a Professional State Certificate for Min
nesota, although it is claimed that he
successfully completed the examinations
required for the same. Strange, isn't it?

From James Brebner, Registrar Toron-
to University, Nov. 20. 1898: "Gradu-
ate Of Collegiate InstStutereally means,
nothing or msoht mean almost any,
thing"
Under date of Dec. 6, 1898, the fol-
lowing legal opinions we're given by the
Department of Public Instruction in reply
to questions submitted by officers of our
Board of Education:
Board of an independent district can
select place for annual meeting if the
voters have failed to do so. The school
house is the natural place, but any rea-
sonable place would not invalidate the
meeting.
The annual meeting
for election of officers may be adjourned
by vote of the meeting when the business
of the meeting is finished. x x
The board can fill vacancy in their men,
Dershlp only to next school election.
"Can the local board of examiners ex-
anime any teacher when they see fit, OF
as often as they please, especially after
they issued one certificate to the teacher
all owing him to teach for certain peri
cd, and before the time has expired and
without consulting or informing the
board of education, which has created
the board of examiners?"
Yes. The law places all this power
in the hands of the board of examiners.
The board Of examiners is appointed by
and is supposed to have the confidence
of the board of education.
"Has the local board of examiners
any authority to examine teachers who
have state certificate, and especially
if teachers holding such state certificates
object to be examined by the local
board?"
No. The board of education may en-
ploy teacher holding state certificate
without the intervention of the board of
examiners.
"Has the local board of education any
authority to remove orsuspend any men,
Der of the board of examiners?"
No.
elias the board of education any con.
troll over the board of examiners?"
No.
'When the local board of examiners
call up teachers and examine them with
out consulting or notifying the board OF
education, is this not taking an undue
and arbitrary advantage of the board OF
e ducation which could be considered OF
construed as malfeasance, for which the
examiners could be removed?"
This might Indicate that the two loards
are not in harmony with each other, but
the board of examiners would otexceed
it's authority in doing this.
"Can the local examining board re-
woke a teachers certificate which they
have granted for a certain period, before
that period has expired, without good
cause?"
A reasonable examining board will be
willing to state it's causes for annulling a
teachers certificate, but such board is
the sole judge of the sufficiency of such
| causes.
