We believe that the measure for

ing for the licensing Of all teachers
by a state board will tend to profes'
sionalize the work Of teachers.
Resolved, That we recognize as legi

training. We, believe the time has
come for the state to take an active
part in the development of this phase
Of secondary education. We are not
prepared, however. at this time tc
indorse the establishment Of a new

believe that by wise and carefully
guarded administration Of district
state and high school it would be
possible to give to every community
the advantages Of Industrial educa

ded that even though gifted beyond
the average mind he could not shake
the testimony of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
