From Des Moines comes the report
that total OF $500 persons were GER
tificated to teach as result OF the
June and July examinations in Iowa.
This is goodly batch OF new school
ma'ams and ought to be enough so
that the supply would not run out for
little while. In fact there is a fair
supply now as evidenced by the re-
fusal of some counties to register the
holders of third class certificates.
This also argues a desire on the part
of the local educators to insist upon
higher standards in the teaching pro,
fession.
The record of results of the two
examinations is as follows:
June xamination-Applic S..
539; first class certificates issued, 3T5;
second class. 1903; third class, 1 .312.
July e1aminatfon-Applica S.
7s7; first class certificates, 812: sec
ond class, 2.o79: third class, $50.
This left the examining board with

did not pass in June took the exami.

the Turkish veil. While Indifferent
Turk is common expression, it is
not merited, because they have been
the most tolerent nation of EUROPE to
the Jewish race. The greater part OF
the commerce in Turkey is carried on
by Jews. She described the beautiful
prayer rugs which even the humblest
Turk owns. The floors of the great
mosques are entirely covered by these
very handsome rugs. She saw the
sultan one day on his way to worship
