Dxw's CLEVER SCHEME
Card Catalogue System for Keeping
Track of Teachers

Frank r Over. assistant state su-
perintendent of education, mas devised
a card catalogue system for keeping
track of the business of the office
which he expected to use for his own
convenience after election to the office
of state superintendent, but which now
will benefit somebody else The plan,
however, is just as desirable as ever.
In this card catalogue, every teacher
in the state holding certificate to
teach is listed on .. separate card. to-
gether with any information about
that teacher which will be of value to
the officers Of the state superintend-
ent's Office. The date when that
teacher secured a certificate. the time
when the certificate expires, and all
other information IS given on the card
When q teacher dies or moves away,
the card representing that teacher is
withdrawn from the file. There is a
similar file of cards for all of the peo-
pie IN the state who hold institute Ger
tihcates.
Another drawer of cards gives in
formation about the accredited schools
of the state, another tells who have re-
ceived diplomas from the state normal
schools. State examination grades are
also listed, so that the complete rec
ord of any teacher can be looked uD in
a very few minutes Of time. It is sort
Of a "BertilBon system" for keeping
track of the records of the teach ers
of the state.
mere IS also a caro- ctldlOgue snow
ing the reciprocal relations with
other states. There are some states
who receive the Kansas teachers GER
tiflcates at their face value. and allow
Kansas teachers full privileges as
shown by the certificate TO such
states Kansas accords similar favors.
States which viii not accept the Kan
sas certificates are barred from Kan
sas, and the card catalogue is to keep
track of the existing relations with
other states.
The catalogue also contains refer
