TEACHERS HIRED AGAINST STATUTE.
Pierre, 5. D.-State Superintendent
Ramer learns that number of teachers
are being employed in this state without
authorized certificates, some OF them on
certificates from other states, and oc-
casionally one without any certificate
whatever. In regard to this he calls at
teniicn 10 the state law in regard to such
cases IN the following.
"The state law provides that no teach
er shall receive contract except upon
the exhibition Of valid certificate to
teach. This law applies universally In
South Dakota, except in cities of 10, 900
inba bitants or more. II Is known that
in MANY places boards of education
practically ignore this law and permit
teachers to engage in their schools on
an invalid contract. 1t means that the
members of the boards are personally
liable for every dollar of money paid out
to those legally unqualified to teach. 1t
also means that teacher serving under
those conditions could not force the COL
lection of her salary. The state depart
ment Of education recently called the
attention of county superintendent to
this violation Of law in the hope that
they would call the attention Of the
boards Of education in their counties to
the conditions as they are"

vision Of parts the Garde Meuble In the

the front is divided into two parts. the
lower corresponding to the first story

Gated" base, on which. extending
through the second and third stories,
is the colonnade. surmounted by its

are never caused by volcanoes. but by
faulting plains. This is particularly
true of both seaboards of the United
States. Mr.. Walcott and other scien-
lists of the Geological and Geodctic
Surveys agree that scientifically the
recent disturbances were caused by
conditions identical with those pertain
ing during the earthquake which de-
molished Charleston. S. c.. on August
81. 1856. Volcanoes occasionally cause
shaking of the earth's crust, but the
disturbances occasioned by pent-up
gases seeking TO escape are felt only
locally.
The cause generally attributed to
earthquakes is the gradual cooling OF
the earth, which is known to still be a
molten mass inside. When any object
cools il contracts, and so will the earth
as it grows colder. This contraction
would unavoidably cause a disturbance

No Connection With Vesuvius.

Coming as this disaster did. practi-
Cally coincident with the Vesuvian ca
lamity in italy. many persons suppose
that there was direct relation he
tween the two. This idea however,
is logically contradicted by Director
Charles d. Walcott. OF the Geological
Survey. Mr.. Walcott holds that there
is no possibility OF connection be-
tween the earthquake and the Italian
volcano. for these two are entirely dif-
ferent scientific phenomena respon-
siblc for such earthquakes and vol
canic disturbances.
