State Superintendent McBrien is puzzling
over the status of two superintendent
chosen at the recent election. Both of them
took the examination for the first grade GER
tihcates. but failed to pass in all branches.
Under his former holding they are ineli-
gible because they did not have first grade
certificates at the time OF their election.

which may save them, because ordinarily
applicants who pass in more than three
fourths of the subjects are allowed another
trial as a matter of course. HeIs now ask
ing the attorney general to determine when
the certificate secured under such condi-
tions would run. The practice in some
counties iS to date them from the first ex-
animation. The attorney general is also
asked to determine whether. in case of fail
ure. the minority candidates. II properly
qualified, will be permitted to assume ONCE.
The two officials involved belong TO the re-
publican and democratic parties,
Under the circumstances, whichever way
the decision is made, the superintendent
does not believe that he will, be subjected
to the charge of partisanship.
