Many Teachers Fail To Pass.

Iowa school teachers no longer re-
ceive their appointments through po-
litical influence, says Superintendent
of Public Instruction John F. Riggs,
who has issued statement in defence
of the new method of issuing teachers
certificates.
Heretofore, Mr.. Riggs says, teach
ers have been able to get schools
when they were unable to pass the
examination for certificates.
A judicious shedding of tears or a
convenient pull would often land I'M
qualified teachers in good positions,
he says. The new law depriving the
county superintendent of the right to
issue teachers certificates will make
tears and political influence valueless
assets as far as securing the right to
teach school Is concerned, he asserts.
Mr.. Riggs denies that the examina-
ton questions given out last June
were any more difficult than the ques-
tons provided by the state superin-
tendents during the past twenty-five
years He admits, however, that
there have been a large number OF
failures and says that only 5000 GER
tificates were issued although about
5000 teachers took the examinations.
Among those who failed to secure
a certificate was Mrs. Jennie Steele
Huegle, superintendent of the Polk
county schools.

Every Cow To Be Tested.

Des Moines.--The state board OF
health has adopted rules and regula-
tons relative to the protection of the
people of the state from tuberculosis
through the use of infected milk.
II was voted at the recent session
that the board recommend that all
dairy and breeding cattle in the state
of Iowa "be tested with tuberculin at
intervals Of year, until it is deter
mined that such herds are free from
tuberculosis, and that every dairy
man or breeder when purchasing cat
tie be urged to see to it that such
animals are free from tuberculosis as
determined by the tuberculin test"
City councils in towns, cities and
villages are urged by the board to
pass an adequate ordinance affecting
the sale of milk and so regulating the
business that impure milk cannot be
sold. 1t is urged that an ordinance be
passed providing that no firm, corpor-
alton, person or individual can sell
milk without license and providing
that each concern shall make an APP
plication in writing, which application
shall state explicitly the name and adj
dress of the applicant, the names and
addresses of all perons from whom
he purchases milk or cream to be
sold, the number of cows owned by
him and by each of the persons from
whom he purchases milk or cream,
and that the application be accom-
panied by certificate from an in
spector whose competency and relia-
bility are certified to by the authority
charged with the control of domestic
animals in the state of Iowa, certify
Ing that said cattle had been examin-
I'd and subjected to the tuberculin
test and found free from disease with
in one year from the date of filing
said application, and that the pre-
misses from which the milk is obtained
Is kept in a sanitary condition"
Additional cattle may be added to
the herd of cattle, at any time, pro-
vided that. the holder of the license
relative to such submits to the mayor
within one week of such addition
written statement indicating the ex-
act number of cows added to such
herd or herds, from whom and where
they were obtained. and accompanied
by a certificate fiom an inspector
The state board doesn't make a
recommendation relative to the pay
ment of the expenses of the inspec-
tion, leaving that to the council. 1t
is suggested that licenses be renew
ed annually, and upon a second viola
ton under the ordinance the license
be revoked.
In New York certified milk is now
bringing cents more a quart than
the other supply. 1t is supposed that
the same condition will soon come
about in the cities of this state.
A state board of examiners for
trained nurses was created by the
state board. 1t is composed of DR..
F. w. Powers of Waterloo, Dr. B. l..
Eiker of Leon, Secretary Thomas and
Sister Mechtilda of Des Moines, and
Miss Grace Baker of Cedar Rapids.
The state board of health elected
Dr. Joseph H. Sans of Clarion presi-
dent, and the state board of medical
examiners elected DR.. A. M. Linn OF
