TEACHERS NEWLAW
UNEASINEsS FELT BY TEACHERS
 IN SPECIAL DISTRICTS.
The Law Requiring Them to Take the State Examination Becomes Ef- fective With State
 Code.

School teachers in the special State school districts" are very much con. cerned over the recent enactment oi the Legislature which requires that they stand the State examinations just the same as oth CT teachers. Supertn- tendent of Education GAnnels has re- ceived many inauiries as to when this law will become effective.
 According to the constitution. the law cannot become effective until the Code has been approved by Governor Conner. The fact. that the Code will not be out of the hands of the printer before April. makes 1t impossible foI the law to become effective before May. as thirty days notice is necessary af- ter the Governors proclamation.
 Superintendent Gunnelfs has pre- pared a set of rules governing this Code by. the Governor, and his procla- contained Ss laws of the State of Ala public for the present. 2r
 Many Of the teachers M the special school districts, such as Montgomery, Birmingham. Selma. etc.. will stand the regular examination in Janu- ary. whether they are required to do 50 or not. If they fail in these 1t will not matter. as they will have another opportunity when the law becomes ef- fective. If they succeed in passing, however. they will not have to stand the examination again. and will be duly qualified when the law does be- come effective. Mobile Is the only county in the State that will not be erected by this law.

 Six or seven bids were opened These were bids for the entire contract of erecting the two buildings. and were remarkable; for the variance in the figures. there being difference of about $50,000 in the highest and low est. The approximate cost of each of the buildings as figured on by the Board, will be about $S0.000.
 When the Board met there were twenty-five or thirty representatives of contracting firms from all over the country present.
