Committee on Legislation.
The following report Of the COM
mittee on legislation was approved:
Your committee on legislation beg
20 report as follows: First we wish TO
express our gratitude To the the state J
superintendent of public instruction FOR
his cooperation in formulating the
needed school laws passed by the leg
islature OF 1911.
II Is a matter Of common knowl-
edge that the certihcation OF teachers
in many cities is illegal and not for
the best interest of our schools. We
therefore urgently recommend that a
law be placed upon the statute books
which will more definitely and con-
sistently control the granting Of Ger
uhcates TO teachers IN cities Of GER
tain classes.
"The Industrial education Of our
state needs not only official sanction,
but state support in a more material
manner, therefore he Il urged that an
Industrial school state Aid fund be
created by the state which shall be i'm
control of the superintendent Of pub
lie instruction.
"Belieying that more professional
interest win be promoted among hold
RS Of normal and other forms Of Ger
ihcates, that the law now requires
% Doe recorded with the county COM }
missioner Of schools, If the law be q
.mended so as to give the commits g
ioner discretionary power TO record Il
n reject for the same reasons that he 4
nay now suspend the force of the
anne in his county. q
we further recommend that the
ounty commissioner Of schools may u
ave power TO recognize diplomas
rom approved colleges as legal IL
enses to teach in township nigh d.
chools.
1--WE all recognize the worth of the
work of Hon p, +. Claxton, .
'nited States commissioner of edu-
alton, i'm his efforts To make all edu-
ltional Institutions thoroughly demo-
attic. and we would suggest legisla- =,
ion to give every boy and every girl
chance to equip himself for life's
,orR in the public school by vocation
lizing our upper grades and high 49,
,hool courses.
"Dr. Goddard's presentations struck 81
ne keynote of a demand for efficient -,
ledical inspection in all city com n,
unities. We recommend obligatory
gislation which will make medical @,
Ispection in all schools, not simply g,
Dssble, but mandatory upon all ~,
