Prof. Frank H. H. Roberts has ON
pleted the tabulation of information
concerning the school laws of the var
ious states of the union. This tabula-
ton will be a part of the report he will
make to the senators who several
months ago requested him to make
recommendations of changes in the
laws governing the issuing of certifi-
Gates to school teachers. Prof. Rob
erts submitted his, views to the insti-
tutes held in all the counties of Wyo-
vote upon the recommendations there
in made. The results of these discus
sions and ballots was published in The
Republican of Saturday, Dec. 8.
Prof. Roberts has received replies to
all the queries he SEN to the school au-
thorities of the states both eastern and
swers makes al interesting supple
e to his report. 1t appears from
the tabulation that the western states
are more progressive than the eastern
states. The tendency is toward uni
formity in the matter of certificates
and examinations. An interesting fea.
ture is the growing inclination to grant
special certificates for work in various
special lines, and this Prof. Roberts
regards with approval.
Questions and Replies.
The questions asked. and Prof. Rob-
erts' summary Of the replies. are as
follows:
What grades of certificates does
your state issue? All states issue at
least three grades. About thirty-lve
states issue more grades. some as
many as ten.
What is the team of each grade?
Common school from six months to
eight years. Professional. five years
to life.
What studies are required for each
grade? From eight for the lowest

Superintendent S. H. Campbell OF

m%endations concerning the mainten-
tation of the benefits got from it.
They are as follows:

Would recommend that the words
to carry out at the state in section
213s. page 2135, chapter 2. revised stat
utes. be stricken from the section, on
account of the many fishermen that
visit our state. They should be per-
mitted to carry home with them the
amount OF fish the law allows them to
have in their oBsession.
Would recommend that section

that the distribution of fish be paid for
by the state. The work of planting
fish in the public waters should be in
the hands of the superintendent. am
satisfied that better results can thus be
obtained.
Would recommend that the legisla.
ture create a law by which this hatch
cry shall be supported by a fixed sum
annually. thereby doing away with the
usual biennial controversy over spe-
cial legislation for the maintenance of
the institution.

ture create q law empowering the su.

grade to twenty-three for the highest.
No state requires for a life certificate
more studies than Wyoming now re-
quires for a two years certificate.
The average seems to be ten branches
for common school certificate, and for
high school certificate all the branches
taught in the school. The number of
branches required for a life certificate
is generally left to the examiners.
Who prepares the qestions. and who
grades the applicants papers? The
pointed by him, in half the states: in
the other half whoever grades
the papers asks the questions.
In one state the superintend-
ent has various school men pre-.
pare questions which are used in the
examinations throughout the state.
The papers are sen to the state board
of examiners for grading. The new
laws show a tendency toward uniformi-
ty by lean of a state board to exam
inc and grade certificates.
Attending Institute.
Are the teachers required to attend
the institute? Are they paid for at,
tending? What is the penalty for non.
attendance? To the first and second
questions many states answered in the
affirmative. In those states in which
a penalty is provided the penalty is
made regardless of the matter OF pay
for attending the institute. The u.s.
ual penalty is forfeiture of certificate
Of reduction in salary.
What features have been the most
beneficial to the schools? What fea-
lures do you deem to be the weakest?
Very few answered these questions,
but those who did 80, discussed the
features that Wyoming teachers have
asked for. Superintendent J. H. Lewis
of Minnesota says: THE new system
has been in force a year and a half,
and has met with very little opposition
or criticism. 1t provides a uniform
standard, and has resulted in a mark
ed increase in wages Of teachers
Do you recognize certificates from
other states? Very few states recog.
nize anything below a life certificate.
