ton to abolish the regulation requiring all
teachers elected to be graduates OF the
Normal School or some institution of
equal rank.
Director Barrett objected to the adop-
ton of the section, as he said it barred out
ali self-made teachers absolutely, and
made the only test one of simple learning
and not of aptitude for teaching.
Director Carew also spoke against the
amendment, as he believed the board was
delegating too much authority to out
siders when it allowed boards of exam
liners and university regents TO pass upon
the qualifications of its teachers. The
matter was finally allowed to go over to
some future meeting, and ii the mean
time Superintendent Moulder will draw up
an amendment.
Mr.. Moulder's amendment will be to the
effect that any one holding certificate
and with two years teaching experience
will be eligible to election in the depart
ment. This will allow any one to take the
teachers examination and procure certltl-
Gates, but two years experience must be
gained outside of San Francisco.
Another important amendment which
was carried changes the number of eligible
teachers in the examinations held peri
odieally by the board from six to twelve.
Heretofore at such examinations the high
est six only were eligible for positions, but
under the new rule III order to reduce the
number of examinations necessary the
highest twelve will be taken.
