HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS.

n SSEMBLY BILL SOB is one of the educational
I measures before the Legislature which merits
general support, inasmuch as it provides a
much needed reform in our system OF certihcating
High School teachers Under its provisions there
will be uniform standard of examination required
for obtaining such certificates in place of the vague
and indefinite standard lack OF standard, now pre-
vaing.
AT the present time there are two methods by which
aspirants may obtain certificates qualifying them to
receive appointments as High School teachers Any
graduate OF the State University recommended by
the faculty, or graduate of any other institution of
education in the United States ndorsed by the State
Board of Education as OF equal rank with the State
University may receive the High School certificate
without examination. All other candidates for such
certificates must pass an examination conducted by
a county Board of Education.
In the first method OF obtaining a certificate the
proposed reform makes alteration. Graduates OF
the university will retain the privilege accorded
them 1t is with that class of candidates for cert1-
Gates who obtain them by passing examinations the
measure deals and its object is substitute for the
county Boards OF Education central State board as
the examining body before which all aspirants for
High School certificates are to appear.
There are upward of 40 High Schools in Califor-
nia employing over 500 teachers For the exarnina-
uOf fOr this service tnere
county Boards of Education, each with its own STAN
dard of qualification, and in many counties the STAN
dard is fixed by examiners who themselves could not
meet the requirements OF High School teacher
Here is clearly evil demanding remedy and it is
to provide such that the bill under consideration has
been devised.
The measure proposes the establishment of High
School Commission, the members of which to
serve without pay. The commission is to be COM
posed OF the State Superintendent of Public Instruc
.tion, the president of the University of California,
and the professor of pedagogy of that institution to-
gether with three persons chosen from among the
High School principals and city School Superin-
tendents This commission is to conduct all ex-
aminations of candidates for High School teachers,
and the successful candidates will receive credentials
on which county Boards of Education will grant GER
tifcates
The measure, it will be seen, establishes uniformity
where there is now confusion, and provides well
ordered way by which persons who not graduates
of the university may the High School service
1t will save the expense of tyseven separate county
examinations and promises in other ways to prove
beneficial to both the teachers and the schools.
