AS there is only small balance
left Of the appropriation set aside
for conducting the teachers examina-
tions, the Department of Public
instruction has requested all county
superintendent to limit the ex-
aminations to new applicants and
those not holding a state certificate
at the present time.
Those holding conditional or limit
ed state certificates, and those hold
ing complete first or second grade
certificates, which expire ON March
lst, 1906, will kindly hand them in
upon the first day of the rexamin
alton for renewal, or secure an ZAP
plication blank from this office, fill
out and mail same together with
your certificate in time to reach me
upon the first day of the examin-
atoms. Those which do not meet
the requirements for renewal will be
and made valid until Sept.
1st, 1906.
It is, of course, not intended that
any teacher shall be deprived from
taking the examinations, but in
order to limit ond reduce the cost of
reading papers, and also to cause
the least interruption of the schools
which are in session, this plan is
Any teacher whose
certificate expires September lst,
who fails to haye> it either renewed
Or extended, will be considered as
Ineligible to teach in Stevens county
We expect at the conclusion of the
coming examinations to be able to
ill our schools with teachers hold
ng state certificates, therefore no
Third Grades will be issued during
