most important changes having relation
to county school districts;

for ! months in any one year to entltle
the district to its share of tine income Of
the state fund. Heretofore six months
only, We're required.
(2) Electors are not allowed TO vote
at an annual school meetings unless they
have been residents of the school district
for at least 80 days This is an impor-
tant change which it will be wise to heed
at the coming meetings.
(3) County Boards may provide for
the organization of country training
schools, the number at present to be linn
tied to two in the state.
As to teachers
% Diplomas issued by colleges and
universities must before being counter
signed by the state superintendent,
thereby making them equivalent to state
certificates be accompanied by evid-
ence of the holders having given as
much attention to psychology and peda-
gogy as is required for state certificate.
! (2) City superintendent may issue
certificates to teachers of special branches
after examination in such branches.

studies in normal school may be ac-
cepted by superintendent in lieu of an
