A NEW SCHOOL LAW
TEACHERS WARNED TO ADOPT
 THE TEXT REQUIRED.
Questions on Agriculture Under New Statute Must be included in
 June Examinations.

Little Rock.-The teacher who de sires to teach in the public schools of Arkansas hereafter barring the few weeks between the present time and the first of June, must get busy study ing his agricultural primer. for the new law, requiring elementary agri- culture and horticulture to be taught In the common schools has now be come effective, and the next exam nation questions for teachers will contain questions covering agricul- ture and horticulture
 The law was made effective ten months after it's approval, which would mako the effective date about April l. By an oversight, however. that accompanies many statutes in which subsequent requirements are necessary to make the law really et- fectiye, nothing was said as to when the teachers were 10 uualifv. Under the law governing scho#' teaching in Arkansas, no teache instruct in subject unless haYiH passed a sat isfaetory examination on same. and of course no certificate of qualification can be issued without an examina- ton At the time the law became effective the time had just passed for the quarterly examinations of teachers, so that no examination can now be held in the subject until the next regular examinations, June l6 and r.
 Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Cook has included agriculture in the manual prepared as a basis for the summer normal schools through out the state, the outline of the Esan- ual being based on the text adopted as the official school text on agrieul= ture and horticulture for the state, Ferguson and Lewis text on agricul- ture
 Many of the teachers throughout the state are supplying themselves with the text itself, which, by the way, has been included in the Ark ansas Teachers Reading Course, and | expect to have the new subject pretty | we'll mastered by the time the exami nations come on Examinations for all grades of license must be taken in agriculture. from the Third Grade to States certificate or professional license. This will make eight branch es instead of seven for examination for the Third certificate; II instead of 10 for Second Grade. and 13 fl- stead of 12 for First Grade license.
 As 10 how rigid the examinations are going to be in the new subject is naturally matter of no little con cern to the thousands of teachers throughout the state.
