LOoPHoLEs IN THE LAW.
State Superintendent Weich Believes
Tha. County Examining Boards
Should be Appointed.

AS a result of the recent meeting of
county superintendent held in Helena
as. week, Superintendent Welch will
make a number of recommendations
as to needed legislation in his annual
report to be submitted to the COVER
nor.
Mr. Welch believes that legislation
should be passed that viii better pro-
tect the schools from the evils that
have crept into the system of issuing
and endorsing teachers certificates.
"The matter was quite thoroughly
reviewed at the meeting this week."
said Mr.. Welch today, land it was
agreed that one of the weakest points
in our school system is the present
dorsement of certificates by county
superintendent.
II believe that board of examiners.
consisting of three persons, one of
whom shall be appointed to hold ex-
aminations OF all applicants for posi-
tons. Not written examinations, but
a practical demonstration of the teach
er's ability in the school room. The
idea of submitting 10 Or 20 questions
on number of subjects is not a sat
isfactory test of teachers ability
from a professional point of view.
1T is my opinion that model class
should be given the teachers and they
should be marked largely upon their
showing made in the school room.
II do not believe that the written
examination should be done away with
entirely. but II should be supplement-
ed by practical demonstration in the
school room. II such a plan was
adopted l believe we would protect
the schools against impositions of all
SORTS.
Under the present law a county
superintendent, although she or he
may know that an applicant is entire
ly incompetent, must endorse her Ger
, tificate If she presents one issued by
another county and the poor teacher

teach. II a board consisting of thre,
persons was appointed and the Law
relating to the endorsement of teach
ers' certificates amended, we woul,

intendent, and the latter official so
disposed, she may secure certificate

pointment of an examining board
would prevent such evils.
