Approximately 1000 first grade and
second grade certificates were issued
prior to July 1, and all these are valid
for next year. About $500 first grade
or two-year county certificates were
issued by county superintendent dur
ing the summer of 1905 in the coun-
ties in which they were written. A
few less than 5000 state certificates
are now In force and by September 1
the number will exceed 5000.
There are 1895 applicants marked
on the June and July examination
sheets for provisional certificates
should county superintendent call fol
their issue.
ut is thus shown that approximate.
ly 10000 licensed teachers are now
available, and this number will be-
augmented somewhat as a result of
the special examination to be held IN
many counties August 16 and II.
"In some counties there will be u
surplus of teachers In other counties
there will be a shortage as has been
the case for the past several years.

reports, 1929 teachers to fill all the
public school positions in the state

quired at any one time, since many
small schools unite temporarily under
one teacher, thus reducing the total
number required.
While there will be considerable
difficulty In providing teachers for all
the schools by September /, the short.
age will not be anywhere near as great
as the public has been led to believe
because OF exaggerated reports. There
will in fact be at least one thousand
more persons licensed to teach in the
state than there are positions to fill
but since many teachers who receiy a6
their certificates last year, as well as
many who hold state certificates datel
two, three or four years ago haze
abandoned the work OF teaching CT
