A Garfield county teacher, who claims
10 have received certificate, says the
reason many teachers have fallen by the
way side Is that the state board of educa-
ton proposes to freeze out the teachers
who have not had normal training. To
do this examinations are prepared which
no one Ia likely to pass, the questions
being largely mere catches rather than
sest Of the applicants ability to teach.
The graduate Of the normal school can
secure . certificate on his diploma at
any time and in any county in the state
without any examination, no matter how
long he may have paid attention to edu-
cational matters, while enc who knows
ten times 90 much about teaching, but is
Lot . graduate Of normal school, is
practically shut out by alleged examina-
ton in which no amount of brains would
enable him to pass" THE HERALD

Last year We had 81, 900 bales OF hops
of Of 5000 acres, or an average OF Az
bales per acre, says the Gervais tOgn) Star.
Now this year we have 10000 acres, with
Q shortage Of from one-fourth to one third
to deal with. II the average last year
was ~ bales per acre, then fair aver
age for this year would be the same. Ac-
cepting these figures as true, we have
1000 acres this year bringing AZ bales,
on 10000 bales in round numbers. Yet
We have allowed nothing for the acknowl-
edged shortage Of from one-fourth to one
third. Allow one fourth shortage we
have $1,000 bales; while one-third
shortage equals 10000 bales. Now, all
new yards will not average more than
~ bales, or $50 pounds; deducting this
from the above we have Ii. 900 bales less,
which brings the total to 81 900 in one
instance, and 1000 in the other. Either
one Of these estimates will be found
to be correct when the final result is
announced.
