CIvICs A STUDY REQUIRED.
County Teachers Must Prepare to
Take An Examin alton.

From Saturdays Daily.
To the Teachers of Blue Earth COun
ty: According to the revised laws of
Minnesota, civics has become one of the
studies required for second grade GER
tificate, and, beginning with next Aug
gust, examination in it will be neces-
sary for both complete and limited GER
tifcates of that grade.
All second grade certificates now in
existence will remain in force until date
of expiration, but for their renewal and
for the exchange of limited for a COM
plete, civics is required. The depart
ment, however, has made this arrange
ment for the first year-that is, until
the examination of August, 1907: a
conditional second grade will be issued
in August, 1906, and in February, 1907,
allowing two conditions, one in civics,
and one in any other second grade
study; also, limited second grade al
lowing a condition in civics, though not
in any other second grade study.
The adoption of this plan will give
the applicants for certificates one addi-
.ional year for preparation in civics.
