favorable decision for bitulithic
pavement. and at the present time
only the vote of the property owners
can defeat the proposed pavement
BY turning down the proposed bond
issue OF $4,000.
The estimated cost of the entire
pavement Is approximately $152,.

to be paid by the city is less than

PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL TEACH.
INC.

The resolutions passed by the
that Just completed its sessions in
Ibis city, to the effect that they were
unanimous in support of a PROPOSE
ton to raise the scholarship and pro-
fessional tests of the teachers of
idaho Is long step in the right di-
rection, not only for Improvement
Of Idaho schools but for the ad-
vancement Of Idaho teachers.
When the state constructed and
equipped professional schools for the
training of teachers it laid the foun-
dation for the movement JUS made
l. then remained for those in charge
Of the administration of education
ell affairs to rise to the occasion and
demand that professional training
and equipment in scholarship be
made uniform throughout the state
and they have done this, If they car
ny out the purpose Of the resolutions
just adopted at the superintend
ents' convention.
There was authorized, under the
resolutions. the organization OF eff
fective machinery for the carrying
cut Of this purpose. This is to come
about by the appointment of state
board OF examiners who shall grade
all manuscripts handed in by APP
plicants for State and county certi-

ty and fairness of grading the teach
ers Of the state. The plan now
places the grading in the hands OF
boards in several counties and tho
grade varies an the several boards
vary In equipment and latitude Of
estimates.
The remainder OF the machinery
for raising the scholarship is in the
state superintendent. who furnish
ca the test of scholarship ana pro-
fessional equipment and can make
these tests sufficiently dificult to
force those deficient In preparation
either out of the profession or in
to the schools that the state provides
for their training.
Viewed from the standpoint either
OF the profession or Of the increased
good the state may acquire from its
schools the plans passed upon seem
desirable and those having charge
of the educa tional administration OF
the state are to be congratulated.
The question Of better equipment
and those in the profession have
nothing to lose.
