STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB
Lie INSTRUCTION ANNOUNCES
RESULT OF RECENT TEACHERS
EXAMINATION.
In the examination for county GER
~tificates held August 29-30, there were
$40 applicants. The department of
public Instruction completed the mark
ings of the papers with the following
results: First grade certificates: II;
second grade, 242; third grade, 152,
and failures. 159. g@
In the four examinations of last year
beginning with August, 1901, when the
,present certlication law went into eff
feet, there were 1910 applicants, with
the following results: First grades.
4S; second grades, 72S; third grades.
623; failures, AL.
The number of applicants for certi-
ficates has not been large at any time.
Several causes have led to this. First
and most important, the greater oppor-
tunities in these prosperous years for
teachers to better their positions by
entering other fields of labor. Again,
no doubt many, feeling their defcien-
oies, have not cared to meet the new
method of examination. The result is
a scarcity of teachers in most Of the
counties. Many new schools have
been established in the last two years
and teachers salaries have been in
creased in many counties to correspond
with the increase in all other lines.
Teachers az being attracted to the
state from, all parts of the northwest
and even from the middle and eastern
states. The department is having al
most daily applications for permits to
teach, but as the matter of permits
rests entirely with the county super.
intendents, the applicants r referred
to counties where their services are il
demand. Probably more teachers
have started to work this year on per.
mits than ever before, and it will con.
tinue to be necessary for county sup
erintendents to issue permits until tl,t
conditions so adjust themselves THAI
the supply of teachers equals the de,
mand.

DIPLOMATIC BILL PASSED.
Animated Discussion Over Consular
Service Reform,

After a somewhat extended discussion on
the consular service and other topics the
House yesterday passed the diplomatic and
adjournment at s o'clock.
Mr.. Grosvenor maintained that the pres
ent consuls were rendering excellent serv-
ice. while Messrs. Feely UuD. Gaines
(Tenn), Green (Pa) and others urged a re-
form in the system.
Mr.. Newiands (Nev) took occasion to de-
fend his plan for the ultimate annexation
of Cuba from the charge that the prelimi-
nary grant of customs concessions was a
move Ito blackmail the island into annexa-
ton"
Mr.. Champ Clark (Mo.) made a charac-
teristic speech, urging that instead Of criti-
cising the present consular system definite
plans for bettering the system should he
the so-called merit system. When the re-
publicans carried the elections he believed
they had a right to the offices: when the
democrats carried the elections he believed
they had a right to the Offices Mr. Clark
caused much laughter by referring to the
democratic success in electing Mr.. Cleve-
land as 'the greatest calamity that has be-
fallen the hSman race since the fall of
Adam"
Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark) made a strong
speech against a permanent consular serv-
hcers In the consular service of foreign
countries with the fact that our consular
officers were as a rule always ready to ac-
cept responsibility as proof that our system
was better for not being q permanent serv-
ice.

Sanitary Regulations Of Chinese
Laundries. ..,,5
Evening Star.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to an article in last Saturdays Q
Star. relative to Chinese laundries and their
insanitary methods. 1 would ask permis-
sion to say a few words further on the SUBJ
ject through the columns Of your paper,
and to suggest what / think the best rem
edy of the evil. 1 have interested myself
a great deal in the methods employed by
the Chinese laundrymen and have made
considerable investigation Of their quarters.
l am very certain that those who wear Chi
nese-laundered clothing have no idea of
the filthy conditions existing at these
joints. In the first instance a very large
majority of these Chinese laundrymen oc-
cupy but two small rooms. The first of
these is used In which to receive and de-
liver his laundry bundles and to iron. The
second. a small rear room, is used in which
to wash, starch, cook. eat and sleep
sometimes more than half a dozen COM
prising the family In this combination of
foul odors and opium fumes the clothing
Is hung on lines until dry, when it is taken
down and subjected to the mouth-Sprayin
process. Now. what l would suggest is that,
In addition to passing the anti-expector
ating on clothes and the midnight closing
ordinance. there be enacted ordinance
forbldd1ng the Occupance of any room or
quarters used as a public laundry for liv-
Ing purposes. By using the word public
laundry this provision would Of course, not
apply to the women who take in private
washing at their homes. l trust the health
authorities will interest themselves on this
vital question and that some such ordi-
nances as above mentioned will recon-
mended and enacted. CT s.
