features namely. that third class
certificates for teachers be done a.

paid on the census per capita basis
but upon the attendance basis. AS
to the third class certificates the
House took the sound position that
a person who cannot make better
than 65 per cent grade on examina-
ton for teachers certificate should
not be employed to teach in the pub

The Exponent feels outraged be-
cause Dr. Hatfield thinks kindly OF

in sympathy for Roosevelt men, but
because OF fear that Roosevelt men
will vote for Hatfield. IN MS speech
here before the primary election,
DR., Hatfield took occasion to praise
Roosevelt and he is not inconsistent
now in repeating kind expressions
he made about Roosevelt before the
latter withdrew from the Republi-
can party, What worries the Expo
nent is that Roosevelt men have no
idea of voting for William r..
Thompson for governor, but why
should they? He has never said
