Matter Of Licensing Teachers and
Method Regarding Conduct Of Sum-
mer Institutes Acted Upon.

Miss Maggie Bucher superintendent
lof the public schools of Las Vegas
has returned from Santa Fe where
she attended a meeting Of the terri
torial board of education. The most
important work before the board was
that of selecting the text books to be
used in the common schools during the
next four years:
The question of adopting books for
the high schools of the territory was
not taken up. The course of study
Of the Normal Institutes of New Mex
leo was given the official approval and
sanction Of the board and was ordered
used by the county institutes of the
territory. The same was ordered pub
lished in pamphlet form.
1t was decided that the authority
conferred upon the board by the 4th
section Of substitute for Council Bill
No. SO. relative to the holding of coua-
ty institutes, be delegated to the terri
torial superintendent of public instruc.
ton. There was some discussion as
to whether or not previous expert
ence in teaching should be one of the
necessary qualifications for an appli-
cant for first grade certificate. The
opinion of the solicitor general was
asked. In the future applicants for
second grade certificates will be re-
CURED to be examined in arithmetic,
geography, photography, reading.
grammar. history, physiology, elemen-
tary pedagogy and penmanship. Those
applying for first grade certificates
will be examined on these subjects
and also on civil government, elc
mentary algebra, advanced pedagogy,
and elements Of zoology and botany.
Teachers certificates that have
been issued during the past year were
approved. The territorial superinten-
dent of public instruction was author
lied to notify all county superinten-
dents that questions prepared by the
board for teachers examination are
to be used but once.
Colonel Chaves, the territorial sup
er~intendent, was authorized to act for
the board in all matters except where
a contest may arise.
