STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS
would Have One to Examine All

Editor Daily Item:

Editor Daily Item:
At the last annual meeting of the
state Teachers Association Of South
Carolina resolution was unanimous
ly adopted endorsing the bill pending
In the legislature to create q State
Board OF Examiners for the certifi-
cation OF teachers The executive
committee was appointed to make
known the action of the associa-
ton. AS a member OF this commit
tee / am asking you to please pub
lis!. this word as to the endorsement
OF the bill by an organization repre-
seEting nearly twelve hundred OF the
teachers of the State.
There is perhaps nothing that
would mean more to the school sys-
tenn and to the teaching profession in
South Carolina than the creation of
this board. 1t would undoubtedly
raise the standard Of efficiency Of
the teachers and give uniform
meaning and value to certificate.
As it Is now with each county issuing
certificates. there must necessarily be
varying standards.
The law works in other States and
I see no reason why a similar one
should not be practicable in South
Carolina. have been studying re-
Gently this law in Alabama where it
works effectively. The bill as en-
dorsed by the association Is q simple
one. 1t provides that the board con-
sist Of three men each of whom must
be a graduate Of some reputable COL
lege and must have had experience in
teaching. The salary to be $500
each. thus making 1t possible to pro-
cure the services OF the best teach
ers OF tho State. The board will pre-
pare the examination questions and
send TO the county superintendents of
education who will conduct the exam
nations and return the papers to the
board to be graded and passed upon.
The Law will not affect the certificates
already In force.
1t Ia hoped that the teachers and
other friends OF education will call
the attsntion Of their respective dele
cations to the importance Of this
measure.

Industrial Trials and Triumphs.

The Ford Motor company at the begin
ming OF the year adopted profit-sharing
plan by which $10,000000 is to be distrib-
uted annually among the 5000 wage-earn-
ers Of that concern. The great South Afri-
can railroad strike came to an end. On
January 10 strike of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad men, as protest against
the discharge Of two employees, was set

board of mediation and Cancellation.
Two great labor controversies had been
left over from the preceding year-one in
the Michigan copper mines, which began
July %, 1918. and another in the Colorado
strike since September q of the previous
year. Violence ensued and federal aid
was demanded. On April 20 the striking
miners clashed with the state militia near
Trinidad Colo, and twenty-five persons
were killed or burned to death in a fire
which followed. President Wilson ordered
federal troops to the scene. It was not
until September Is that the strikers and
their employers accepted President Will
sons offer for a settlement of their dis
pute. but his plan was rejected. On the
last day of November the president named
a commission Of three. headed by Seth
Low, to deal with the strike. Shortly af-
ter the strike was declared off.
On April all the coal mines Of Ohio
were closed down on account OF the fall
ure to unite on an agreement as to a
basis of payment to supersede the one
already in use. On the following day the
Yorkshire coal miners. to the number of
100000 men. went on strike to support
their demand for a minimum wage. June
u strike among the West Virginia coal
miners. which had been on since the pre-
yious September, was declared off, the
