+, receided from the State Supterin-
tendent: "The graded schools of
your County are, no doubt, in ses-
sion by this time Or will be next
week. We ask that you see that
all teachers in all such schools hold
valid certificates as provided by
law"
Another ruling by the depart
ment of education is to the effect
that applicants for certificates who
fail at one examination may at any
time within six months, submit
their standing sheets" and be ex-
empted from examination in all
branches of former examination
the standings of which are above
the average required for the certi-
fcate applied for.
The walls of the new Tyndall

ough to prove that when finished

1t is a matter to be commeded
that most of the town schools and
many of the rural schools have re-
tanned their respective teachers of
last year. When the work of the
teacher is put upon that business
basis which makes it worth while
to endeavor to hold the same posi-
ton continuously we shall have
more efficient teaching.
On the school grounds the teach
err is the authorized agent of the
school corporation, and as such
agent should see that none OF the
school property is unnecessarily
marred or destroyed. The teacher
is responsible for negligence in this
line. Another standpoint: n of
the most important things to be
taught is the respect for property
of others.
Miss Myra Bouye of Madella,
MINI. and Miss Mary Nurtha of
Sioux City arrived Saturday and
took charge Of schools Monday,
the former in the Gardner, and the
latter in the Fair View districts.
New seats, a new teachers desk,
a rostrum, Encouragement of the
seating and wallpaper are some of
the improvements Holloman dis
trict has made to its school during
vacation. 1t has shown enterprise
in even an important way by re-
tanning the efficient services of last
years teacher, Miss Irene Quinn.
After tits week the superintend-
cut will be in his office regularly on
Wednesdays and Saturdays only.
The state says it is q crime to
practice medicine without proper
preparation for that work. 70 this
we say "Amen.' Why. then is it
not a crime to practice the equally
important work of teaching with
out preparation?
Why not give a youth a permit"
to practice law or medicine so that
he may ri money to fit himself
for the profession Of teaching?
We used to think that anyone who
could gather roots and herbs and
make mixtures of them were fit to
tend us when We were sick. We
have learned our mistake in this
matter, but we have not yet cast
off the idea that anyone who can
read, write, spell, and cipher a lit
tie bit is fitted to teach our child
