Des Moines, Aug. 7.-State Superin-
tendent A. NJ Deyoe, while he has not
felt called upon TO make any pubic
statement, feels that criticism which
has been directed against the depart
ment of education for alleged making
OF the examination OF teachers too
difficult matter IS without any reason
Hts critics have not read the eNaIntaa-
tion questions nor considered the Wao.e
matter The criticisms probably have
emanated from those who 1aAsd 70
pass, but an investigation o. the exam :
inat,on papers would probably convince
any persons With knowledge o. lesicl-
ing that those who failed ought 70 fail.
The attitude OF the department. o. cd
ucation is tina, OF giving first cons:d-
Grafton 20 the pupils % ..le state. that
the schools are not made especially 20
provide places tor teachers. cus tA;a-
fitness TO lead the children arighr IS
first to DC considered. J. there IS any
way tina. the examinations can Dc a2-
proved the department would De glad
OF suggestions and the record IS wide
open FOR the Investigation % any one
who has notion that taere mas hser
untairness or uausua. severity y, the
questions.

MAKE very much Inference in the stu

1or four consecutive weeks the last
enc twenty days before the hea ring.
The board has twelve Of these cas-
coming over from the legislature. and
probably will have some Others. AL
ready investigation has been made by
the board in several Of the cases. The
board Will set time probably in Oc-
tober for hearing objections or further
