department of education now believes
that between 5000 and 5000 teachers
will have taken the June examination

counties. Monona, for instance, re-
ported but ten who intended to take
the examination. Linn county report
ed 240. Other counties show like dis
parity in numbers. Those which have
reported but a few will hold examina-
tions later.
All Of the regulations concerning the
reading Of the June examination pa
pers have been made by the state su-
perintendent. One hundred and seven
of the most prominent educators In the
state have agreed to read the papers
of the 5000 teachers who are writing
them now They will come to Des
Moines Monday and begin work at 9
o'clock that morning in the senate
committee rooms at the capitol. The
superintendent thinks that he will be
a BILE to complete all of this work with
