MORE TEACHERS
RECORD NUMBER OF APPLICANTS
FOR CERTIFICATES.


The early prediction that depres-
sion in other professions and lines Of
enterprise would cause a record num-
Der OF applicants for teachers certifi-
Gates last week have been verified ac-
cording TO figures which have been
totalled In the office OF Hon. H. ].
Willingham, Secretary OF the State
Board Of Examiners.
With jefferson and Marengo counties
yet to be heard from. there were re-
ceived up to. yesterday by the depart
,ment no less than s.sSs sets of papers
constituting the answers of applicants
OF all grades at the July examinations.
1t is estimated that Marengo county
will send In no less than sixty papers
and as II IL known that Jefferson coun-
ty actually enrolled $50 aspirants for
the licenses. and further that no less
than 200 applicants are expected to be
at Tuscaloosa later in the summer to
take the special examinations there.
On this basis there should be on final
summary no less than 4,548 sets OF
papers to be grade by the Examiners
and assistants.
For the same examination last July
approximately 1890 persons presented
themselves. The depression was on at
that time, too. but the very fact that
the teachers profession has taken on
more Importance and more attractive
It Is taken further as an evidence
that there have been in the last few
years immense strides in the direction
OF the teachers betterment. The
schools have been made more inviting
In all respects, the people themselves,
according to close observers have been
aroused In a campaign that has never
seen its equal. and II is proposed by
those more or less responsible that
the end OF Improvement shall never
come.
Since the Board has received numsr-
Gus letters from applicants asking for
special consideration in the grading OF
their papers. Secretary Willingham an
nounced yesterday that the Board
would select the counties by lot and
the grading will be in the order Of
their drawing, all applicants OF one
county being graded before any other
county will be taken up. There will be
absolutely no exception to this rule
It is noted that there was about the
negroes taking the examination. and
that there was an unusual ratio of
teachers applying for the higher
grades. especially the second grade GER
fificates. One reason assigned for this
is that there has been this summer
and is now In progress--an educational
fever among the teachers themselves.
This has resulted in probably no less
than 1000 teachers attending the Uni
versity Summer School. And on top
of this the Congressional institutes are
nearly due for this summer. serving to
enhance the equipment OF the peda-
gogue still more.

SPAIN CLAIMS IT is
ONLY LOCAL INCIDENT

Madrid, July 12.-An oficial CON-
munication issued today sets forth
that the Spanish government consid-
ers the killing last week of four Span
ish workmen by natives at Melilia,
Morocco. to be purely a local incident
that in no way anects Spain's rela-
lions with Muali Hatid, the Sultan Of
Morocco. -
Nevertheless there is a disposition
in Madrid to regard the affair as a
parallel case to the French assassina-
lions at Casa Blanca and as forcing
as we'll as authorizing Spain adequate
ly to protect Spanish interests anu
Spanish territory.
Although the negotiations with the
Moroccan commission IN Madrid con-
tinue on the subject OF the frontier
and the other questions wfach Senior
Merry Del Val, the Spanish minister
to Morocco has been unable to settle,
1t is pointed out that the precarious
position OF the Sultan himself and the
fact that rebellion and anarchy are
rampant among the tribes. force Spain
to adopt firm precautionary measures.
A total Of 1000 infantrymen and CAL
varymen have embarked at Barcelona
for Mellila.
