The proposed bill for an &c: to provide
n more uniform system for the certihca-
ton of teachers. does not change the
sources of authority granting certificates
in Il single instance. The state normal
school and the University of Nebraska

normal schools is limited from one year

Association. 1t is one step at least to-
ward the plan for state examination Of
all teachers. --r,ssS~
