Dewey Explains New School Law
Changes

A resume of the laws relating to
school passed by the last legislature
has been compiled by H. B. Dewey,
state superintendent of public in
structon. Among the changes enum-
Grated by him are many made in the
school code passed in 1909, most of
which deal with first class school dis
tricts, or school districts which con-
tain a city of the first class. There
are nine such districts in Washing
ton These districts are now author
Persons desiring to register for
school elections should now register
now be no registration except for
residents of districts of the first class
living in the district, but outside of
the city. Two school houses for
polling places may also be provided
for elections in districts of the first
class. They may also establish kin
dergartens without holding an cleo
ton and the maintenance may be
paid out of the general fund instead
of out of a special fund
Heretofore the county superinten-
dents had to pass upon the moral
and personal fitness of an applicant
for teachers certificate, but now
this is not necessary until the certi-
ficate is presented for registration
and there is method of appealing to
the state superintendent and the
board of education. The much criti-
cised law requiring ten years of sue
cessful experience in other states up
on the part of an applicant for sec
ond grade certificate was repealed.
this does not go into effect until
June.
The legislature has left the matter
Of making rules under which temper
airy certificates are to be issued to the
board of education. The law cover
ing renewals of certificates was also
amended
The law has been amended so that
school uperintendents will apportion
school funds six instead of four times
year, and according to Mr.. Dewey,
this well mean a saving to the state
of $25, 600 year, as it will permit
the more frequent calling in of war
rants. At present school districts are
paying 100000 a year interest,
$4,000 of which is on warrants.
The money raised by issuing bonds
now goes into the general fund to be
used for the specific purpose for
which appropriated School super
intendents will be permitted to hold
Office indefinitely if the constitutional
amendment passes. which permits
county officers to hold more than two
terms.
Mr. Dewey says in his report that
the teachers retirement fund bill, or
the pension act, as it is known, was
defeated because the rules commit
tee refused absolutely to put in on
the calendar after it had once been
considered. He credits Todd, Nc
Nicely and Miller, @. Al, with being
willing to put in in the calendar, but
says the others refused.

Don't let gossip get a chance at YOU. -

BE particularly careful that your

reproachable.
Pastoral calls, particularly in small

president OF the American Physical Educa-
ton association and medical director Of
Columbia university. Frederick w. Put
nam, head of the Peabody museum at

Prof Putnam, in a lecture, said:
II believe that the people OF this country
will gradually grow darker. and though
the result will not be coppery color of the
Indian, II will be much darker than the
average today One reason for this is
the immense proportion of southern Euro
peans and Hebrews settled in our cities
'Intermarriage follows and darker race
results The tide of immigration from
southern Europe includes the southern
Italians and Sicilians, nearly all dark. and
the Syrians and the Greeks. Then there
are the Hebrews and the Poles, each a
dark skinned race"
DR.. Moylan said he thought Prof Putnam
was right in his conclusions. and continued
