stitution are known as ''ironclads," as
they entitle the holder to teach in any
of the schools of the State, but those
issued subsequently and up to 1893
were only recommendatory. This would
deprive the holders of the latter class.
who have been teaching for years, of
any benefit from their diplomas, as
only educational diplomas are named.
Curiously enough this has been also
omitted from the present law. The
Senate committee, however, amended
the bill in this particular.
The committee. however, amended
this section in a manner that would de-
prive the County Board of any dis
cretion in granting certificates by
changing the words may" to shall, J"
thus compelling them to grant certifi-
Gates, even when their judgment might
forbid it in certain cases.
Under the bill, also, the present
holders of grammar grade certificates
could only teach on them in the county
in which they were granted, and could
not procure certificates in other coun-
ties on them. as they can at present.
The committee amendment would also
be an injustice to teachers in counties
whose boards have established high
standard of proficiency. Many coun-
ties have for years established 50 per
cent as the standard necessary to Sc
cure a certificate, while a number of
counties only require so per cent. and
few only 75 per cent. 1t would be
manifestly unjust to compel the County
Board of county maintaining the
III I'd ,,,t oa,-tif fi0a "a
on that of a county maintaining the
lowest standard. thus granting the
same credentials to an outsider that it
does to it's own applicants, while de-
manding of the latter 10 per cent.
greater proficiency.
The committee also inserted a new
clause compelling the County Boards to
grant certificates to high school grad
uates if they have professional train
ing, which could only result in lowering
the standard of proficiency. In fact,
the whole bill, if passed, would not
leave the County Boards much to do
voluntarily except to hold eXamina-
tions, and would bear hard on old
teachers.
The bill also drops the section of the
present law, which provides for the is
suance of a document by the State
Board to holders of university diplomas
who have had two years successful ex-
perience in teaching, which then be-
comes a permanent certificate to teach
in any Of the high, grammar or pri-
mary schools of the State, unless re-
voked by the State Board.

EX-CONVICT SCHOFIELD.
On Trial for Attempting to Kill Prison
Guard Lewis.

Henry Schofield, the ex-convict who
tried to kill Guard j. B. Lewis on the
Folsom Prison grounds not long ago,
when Lewis detected him in the act
of ''pIanting' opium for his convict
comrades, was on trial in Judge HartS
court yesterday on a charge of assault
to commit murder. District Attorney
Ryan appeared for the people and W.
w. Rhoads for the prisoner. The case
was not concluded and will be resumed
to-day.
The prison officials are constantly on
the lookout for discharged convicts re
entering the grounds and secreting
opium where prisoners might find it
while at work outside the prison yard.
Schofield was caught in the act, and
when Guard Lewis undertook to ar
rest him he turned on the guard and
would have shot him had not his pistol
missed fire
