papers meet the requirements set
forth in the next paragraph.
The written examination before
| the county board will be on the reg
ulsr first grade questions and also on
| additional questions. These addi-
tional questions are printed on sep
arate sheet, and will not be handed
out by the county board until the ex-
animation on the first grade ques-
tions is extended and the applicant
is ready to enter upon and complete
at that sitting the additional examl-
nation. 1t is probable that another
day should be given for this. But
the county board can judge.
The county board will mark the
answers to the first questions, and,
unless the applicant averages ~ per
cent. will not forward the applica-
ton for State certificate If, how
ever, the applicant averages 90 per
cent. by the grading of the county
board on the first grade questions,
then the entire examination papers
(answers to the first grade questions
and to the additional questions, and
the collateral Information here asked
for) will be sent to the State board
of education at Columbia, which will,
according to it's own standard of
making, regrade the answers to the
first grade quertions and also grade
the answers of the collateral informa
ton furnished. Upon the joint re
suit, the State board will then de
eide whether or not to issue the
State certificate.
After the examination on the 18th
of June, 1902, an applicant for this
State certificate should make appll
cation at least one monta in advance
of the time of the regular county ex.
animation in order that the State
superintendent may know how many
sets of additional questions to send to
the proper county.
