from an item recently published in The

calls Nevada, or any part of the State,
a desert, will be regarded as an idiot or
a humorist. The soil is new and when
water is brought upon it will produce

EXAMINATION WAS DIFFICULT
And Scores of Teachers Through

of the five applicants being granted
certificates.
In Story there were 10 applicants and
two of them made a passing grade; in
Washoe County there were 81 appli-
cants and three Of them secured certi-
ficates.
Many Of the applicants were old
teachers, persons who have taught in
the schools for some time. They claim
that the examination was exceptionally
difficult aud that the questions were not
a fair test. Il is likely that several
special examinations under the new law
will have to be held in order to fill the
schools.
