OF Importance to Teachers.

There is much inquiry about the re-
vised law concerning teachers GER
tifcates. The state superintendent of
schools has sent out information to
county school officers and others, as
follows:
The new institute course of study
has been prepared and mailed to the
county commissioners. This includes
outlines in algebra and literature, SUBJ
jects necessary for q second-grade GER
tificate. 1t also includes outlines in an
cient history and elementary science,
branches required for first-grade GER
tificate. This revised law concerning
certificates did not have an emergency
clause, and takes effect August 20. AS
the Institutes close before that date
the additional branches are not neces-
sary for this year. They We're put into
the outline in order that work may be
done in them this year, preparatory
for next years examinations"
Supt. Darlington further states that
many conductors of the institutes
have notified him of their intention of
organizing classes in advanced sub
jectS this year. Some who are already
at work in institutes report new life
and more enthusiasm on account of
the new course. Reports from the sum-
mer schools at the university and the
normals are to the effect that the at
tendance has more than doubled. The
best teachers in the state are tired of
the treadmill grinding in the three Rs,
and welcome the incentive to higher
and better work. No teacher can do ex-
cellent work trying to teach all he
knows
