teachers certificates. But we unequivocally
condemn and denounce the qualification con-
tanned in the same section which limits the
right to take that competitive examination to
those holders of teachers certificates who have
been educated in the public school system OF
the State OF California.
We think it OF the highest possible impor-
lance that the school Department of the City
and County of San Francisco shall be for all
time at liberty to secure the highest and best
talent available, and 10 employ for its teach
ers and instructors the persons best qualified
for the work, whether educated in the public
or private schools in other States or in the
public and private schools in this State, or
selfeducated.
We believe that there should be but one test
for the selection OF teacher in the public
schools, and that a test requiring the highest
degree OF integrity and ability.
We furthermore denounce this exclusion OF
a large body of qualified citizens from the
right to become teachers of our public schools
upon equal terms with other equally qualified
citizens as an unconstitutionally imposed
qualification for holding of Office and as de-
NAL of equal rights before the law.

According to the reports there has been
all summer a systematic smuggling of
Cinnamon from ST. GATHERINGS, Ont.

From there they have been taken under

The game has been a very clever one
