been informed as to the reports being
circulated.
The demonstration, however, was so
shor lived that it was not necessary

ON TEACHERS STATUS
Says Three-Fourths of White Teach
ers of State Hold Licenses Higher
Than Third Grade

Henry j. wilingham state supern-
tendent of education, while in Birming-
ham yesterday for the purpose of at
tending a meeting of the trustees of
Howard college. Issued a statement in
reply to certain newspaper criticism that
too many teachers of public schools in
Alabama hold third grade licenses
This criticism stated Mr.. Willing
ham, lis based on error. In the April
examinations the majority of those who
applied for licenses did apply for third
grade licenses. But generally speaking,
the applicants were graduates of the
public schools, and many who applied
have no intention of teaching.
LAS a matter of record. three-fourths
of the teachers of the state--the white
teachers-hold licenses higher than the
third grade.'
Mr. Willingham took occasion to put
to sleep the report, which ragged In GER
tain unauthentic circles that he plans
a candidacy for the position of secretary
of state.
