itv to issue permits in emergencies. This
permission can be guarded so that present

AS a measure OF final relief every pos

Of qualified teachers, but Il greatly inn
proves the teaching service in the eastern

even more to counties farther removed

present requirements are too high for the
smaller high schools OF the west I there
fore suggest a change in the laws reguiat-
ing normal training in the high schools,
