THEY KICK ON MARKERS
for Teachers
Certificates Make
Complaints

The summary of the number passed
and failed In the recent exam nations
for the teachers certificates, it is ru.
mored, may start an investigation Of
the way the reading of the papers is
conducted, says the st Paul Pioneer
Press. the reading Of the papers is
under the direction Of the state super
intendent OF public instruction and he
appoints the readers, about fifty. A
few ct them are county superinten.
dents but the most Of them are uni.
versity students. It is alleged that
many of the readers are first year stu.
dents at the university who read the
papers Of applicants who have gone
further In school than they have.
Many old teachers, trying to get .
better certificate. have their papers
read by girls who have never taught
q day, it is stated, who may know .
little Of Latin and comic sections, but
who have not glanced for many years
at the subject in which they mnet
pass upon the qualifications of others.
Another custom that may call for
some criticism is that of having the
names of the examlnee on the papers.
It Is alleged that when the readers
find the paper of some friend they
overlook the faults. One varsity girl,
just out of the freshman class, sfter
reading the papers of classmate in
high school, said:
Il don't think she would have
passed if some one else had read her
paper. But marked her as hign as
could.
Of another acquaintance, with

coming in to the state Superintendent
complaining Of the marks. Many Of
the complaints are from teachers who
have taught several terms and have
fallen down when their papers were
read by the varsity girls.
The summary shows that of 6,1O7
who took the examinations only 3, ,31t
will receive certificates. The situa-
ii on is not quite so bad as these
figures would indicate for not all
who took the examination were ap-
plicants for certificates. A few of
them took only part of the subjects
to have the credits applied ia the
future, and there were some who
passed every subject they took. but
as they did not take ell the subjects
they aid not get certificates.
The s, lO7 applicants sent in 90, 14S
parers. There were 176 complete first
Grade certificates grapted. 81 cond;.

COUNTY NORMAL
TRAINING SCHOOL

Since the installation of the Wood
County Normal training school three
years ago, under the excellent man
agement of Prof. nj. III. Jackson and
NJ ISIS Eta Micheals, only few people
OF the county appreciate it's value and
magnitude and the great good that is
received by the young people of the
county. From the start it has beer
crowded to it's full capacity. The city
of Grand Rapids has been liberal in
the giving of sufficient room in the
Lincoln High school building, all heat
furnished for the free use of this
school. They agreed to do this for
period of three years, and this time
will be up in June. Whether the city
will be able to give the free use of this
room any longer will have to be de-
cided by the School Board, The
School Board has provided for a Com
mercial course to be commenced this
coming fall term, in September, and
the room occupied by the County Nor
NAL school is the one they had planned
TO use for this purpose. They may
be able to provide a place for the
County Normal school in the Howe
High building, but just what is going
TO be done will be decided on in the
near future. What should be done is
that the county should provide suit
able building for this school. The
past year, we understand, that fifteen
applications made by young people in
the county for schooling in this depart
ment were turned down on account
OF the lack of room and the capacity to
handle them. Under the present ar
rangement only about forty pupils can
be taught to advantage.
We understand that the city of
Grand Rapids stands ready to give the
county a deed to six acres of land in the
vicinity of the Lincoln school building
for the purpose of erecting a suitable
building thereon, and just why the
county has not availed themselves of
this liberal offer we are unable to com.
prehend, unless it is that they object to
the location of it in Grand Rapids. A
finer site for such building it is i'm
possible to find in Woo5 county. That
the county Normal has proven itself
great success and of great value to the
people ofW God county is patent to any
one who will take the pains to look the
Meter up, Every parent in Wood
county should get. after their repre-
Sentatives on the County Board, to
favor the establishment of such a
school at Grand RAPIDS, or some where
else

James H. Madden, of Ashland,

James H. Madden, of Ashland,
candidate for Congress for this
Tenth Congressional District, to
succeed w. E. Brown, was in this
city the past week making the
acquaintance of some of the Re-
publican businessmen. He was
here only part of the day and
therefore was unable to call upon
all that he desired to. He ex-
pressed himself as receiving very
favorable encouragement from all
parts of the district. We found
him very pleasant gentleman and
was glad of an opportunity to
meet him. He expects to make
this city another visit in the pro-
gress of the campaign. He said
he never realized the magnitude OF
this district until he started to
visit all parts of it.
