the effect that soldiers of the civil war,
entrymen under the one section Nebraska

when making their proofs win be credited
for the time OF their army service not ex-

TEACHERS ENDORSE THE NEW LAW
Nemaha County Institute Unanimously
Passes Resolutions.

Nemuna OOunty tuetttute unanimously
Passes Resolutions.
AUBURN, Neb., Aug. H.-(Special 1.-THE
Nemaha County Teachers institute unani-
rhously passed the following resolutions:
We believe house holl No IS, the new law
passed by the last legislature. providing for
the certiflcation OF teachers, to be the
greatest measure, both for the good OF
worthy teachers and the public schools
passed by the Nebraska legislature since
the adoption Of the states constitution.
We believe certihcation under the pro-
vision Of the new law raises the standard
Of teachers and places teaching upon it's
rishtful3 plane as one of the professions;
removing as It does the probability OF
the beginning OF the term of each newly
elected county. superintendent.
We appreciate the fact that examination
answer papers are graded by a state board ;
that the examination for the whole state
Is uniform; that all opportunities for ia
voritism are removed. and that the certifi-
cate is good In any county In the state.
We believe the new law, in raising the
standard OF the teacher will also raise
their wages, because II Is evident that
school boards are willing to pay higher
wages for higher standard of teaching
which encourages teachers to remain in the
profession and bids for better talent to
enter.
Whereas, the new law has not affected
the supply Of teachers in Nemaha county
in the least, there being more now than
there were last year; and,
Whereas. less number of teachers failed
under this law than have failed hereto
fore; and,
Whereas the champion of this measure
is our present state superintendent, J. L.
McBrien, who, with the splendid force OF
workers in his department. has been by
