pass an oral examination upon
the branches she had heretofore re-
ceived the requisite per cent. pre-
scribed by it for obtaining a State
Teachers Professional License.
She was entirely successful in the
examination and obtained this hon
orable distinction. She is at pre-
sent the first and only one in Du-
bois county holding such "A license
and she teaches in Pike county.
There were thirty-fve applicants
present from various portions of
Indiana, ard as the Board exam
ined each applicant separately and
orally, it appointed subcommittee
of two to hold the examinations,
and then did not get through till
late in the afternoon.
The new State Board has adopted
a rule requiring all applicants for
Professional or State license, after
the answers to the questions sent
out to the County superintendent
shall show the necessary per cent,
TO appear in person before the State
for an oral examination in
addition thereto, before a license
will be issued, thus making the IL
,ense more valuable, as being hard
'r to obtain, and the holder freezer

,eived assistance from any one else.

~early-by 8 o'clock-except Coff-
man, Of Boone, and were anxious to
be v g the job of electing a Super
iDtendent soon, but the chairman
refused to call them in session till
Coffman arrived, and much was the
coat catching by friends of the two
candidates, and getting the Trustees
into private places for consultation.
1t was generally conceded that Will
son would be reelected, but to the
surprise OF many, nine of the twelve
trustees seemed to favor Armstrong
instead, and it engaged several
prominent persons with Influence
for two hours to change the pre-
ponderance, but it was finally done,
and Armstrong; friends claim at a
considerable cost in ''cold cash."
About 10 O'Clock each side was very
confident. and then Auditor Koer-
ner called the Trustees together in
the Auditors office, and a ballot
was taken which showed 6 for Will
son and 6 for Armstrong, where
upon the Auditor east the deciding
vote for Wilson, and he was de-
clared duly elected Superintendent
for the ensuing four'years. A con-
siderable number had come over
from Huntingburp, where Arm
strong and the Auditor each reside,
to congratulate the former or his
election, and were greatly surprised
that his fellow should
vote against him, and freely said
that Koerner had promised to vote
differently.
Armstrong was considerably
chagrined, and told koerner he had
lied UNANIMOUSLY, and invited him
into the street tc a trial OF courage !
and strength. Koerner replied that
the reason he voted against him
was because he had attempted t.
him with an offer of five hun /
dred dollars. Armstrong declared I
this was Add lie, that Koerner had I
to take five hundred dollars, '
but that he had refused to pay it. /
