Wednesday, March Is.

AS spring approaches and the hunt
ing fever attacks people in all parts
of the State, 1t becomes necessary that
any changes in the hunting laws be
brought to the attention of the public.
The Federal Migratory Bird Law,
which went into effect Oct. 1, 1914,
makes certain notifications upon the
laws of our State, and a brief resume
of these changes will be found inter-
esting. Generally speaking the Fed
eral law does not give a longer open
season than our State gives, but in
certain cases it does give a longer
closed season. Briefly these modifi-
cations are as follows

State Teachers Certificates.

The whole number of candidates
taking examinations for State teach
ers' certificates during the past year
was 443, of which number 325 at
tanned ranks required for certification,
according 10 a statement made Thurs
day by Payson Smith of Auburn, State
superintendent of public schools. AT
the examinations for superintendent
grade certificates Is candidates re-
ported and II of these received
certificates. The number of special
certificates granted to graduates of
normal schools was Al. In addition
to the certificates granted LA of these
heretofore issued which had ceased to
be valid by expiration of terms for
which issued were re-issued. The
aggregate number of certificates of all
sorts during the year was therefore
SCI.
Touching further in the matter of
State examinations for teachers GER
tificates, Supt. Smith says:
AS shown by the report of last
year 3442 certificates of all grades
previously issued were in force at the
beginning of the year here reported.
OF these 513 ceased to be valid dur
ing the year. Making the necessary
additions and deductions, there ap-
pears to have been in force when the
provisions of the new law became
operative, 3456 of the certificates is
sued in the 16 years during which the
provisions of the old law continued in
force. 1t is not to be understood,
however, that BASS of the actual teach
rT 70 inc
schools are holding State certificates
at the beginning of the operation of
the new law Many of these are held
by those who have gone into the
schools of other states; many doubt
less are he'd b. those who have
ceased to be active in school work,
and in many cases those to whom
they were issued are no longer liv-
ing.
THE final enactment Of the laws
requiring all teachers in public schools
to hold State certificates came as a
result of long series of efforts look
ing to such requirement as one of the
things essential to the highest eff
ficiency of these schools. 1t may not
be out of place, therefore, to sketch
briefly these efforts.
In 1869 State Superintendent John
son secured legislation providing that
certificates issued by county super
visors, conductors of State teachers
Institutes and principals of normal
schools might be accepted by local
school girls and made valid by en-
dorsement in lieu of certificates issued
by them. These provisions proved
short lived ceasing to be effective by
the abolition of county supervision in
1872 and of State Institutes in 1874,
though the authority conferred upon
normal school principals continued in
force and was exercised to a greater
or less extent until 1897.
estate Superintendent Gorthell in his
report of 1877 advocated the granting of
State certificates by a board of examin-
ers, one from each county. In 1878 he

term in the Maine Senate, has an
nounced that he will be candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket. This announcement is sig
nificant because Mr.. Hersey was an
ardent supporter of Roosevelt and
is a keen student of political con-
ditions. His announcement indicates
that he has made careful survey
on the situation IN his county and
that he is convinced that the voters
of Aroostook who supported Roose-
welt in November 1912 are now united
in opposition to free trade. Senator
Herseys statement is that he is a
Republican because Maine needs Re-
publicans in Congress and he does not
desire either by his voice, influence
or vote to contribute in any way to
the Democratic party
To quote further he says concern
ing Democratic free trade, 1T has
paralyzed the business of the coun-
try, demoralized trade, crippled man
ufacturers, forced capital to become
fearful and hopeless, denied to labor
employment. and made the farmer a
victim of political free trade theories
and handed over his market to the
foreigner and his future to the pau
per labor of Europe. In the face of
such darkened future our only hope
is in the return to power of the par
ty of Mckinley and Dingley and the
re-enactment of laws that shall pro-
tect American labor and American

minutes, then removed and the skin

banishes every trace of hair or fuzz,
but leaves the skin firm, smooth and

secured the report of bill by the COM
mittee. on education of the legislature of
that year providing for such a board de-
fining it's authority and prescribing its
duties. That bill failed of passage in
either branch. Local school boards
looked askance upon it's provisions as
limiting it's authority. Teachers with
few exceptions stood opposed to it.
School district agents saw to it an as
saut upon their vested rights to put
their favorites into the schools as
teachers with small regard to tested fit
ness.
superintendent Luce While advocating
both incidentally and specifically in his
reports some form of State certifcation
OF teachers as one of the changes in
school management of vital Importance
to the betterment of the schools, seems
to have considered it as something con-
sequent upon the other reforms and
made a definite effort to secure it. In
his view the abolition of the school dis
trct system and reorganization of local
supervision were among conditions pre-
cedent to any attempt to secure this re-
form.
ut stands to the credit of State Su-
perintendent Stetson to have formulated
and secured the enactment of a law
providing for State teachers examina-
tons. That he made the taking of such
examinations optional with teachers and
at first left it optional with school boards
to accept the certificates granted as the
results of examinations, as legal evil
dence of fitness to teach, were wise pro-
visions of his scheme. The taking of
the examinations thus took on the ma
ture of a privilege conferred, and the
holding of a State certificate evidence of
special professional interest as well as
scholastic and professional fitness.
And so during the 16 years during
which these optional examinations were
periodically and regularly conducted,
teachers, school boards and the people
became thereby gradually prepared TO
accept compulsory State examination
and certifcation as a thing of course.
Bills for the general certification of
all public school teachers have been con-
sidered by several recent legislatures.
These have been In similar terms to that
finally enacted by the legislature Of 1915
These bills have had each year the IN
eressing support of school officers and
of citizens Especially important among
the favoring influences has been that OF
the constantly growing professional
ideals and standards of the teachers OF
the state.
The terms of the new act provide the
means of applying reasonable tests OF
the qualifications of teachers and for
gradually upbuilding higher standards
for entrance to the profession of teach
ing as rapidly as these standards may
be adopted without harmful disturbance
With careful administration the act
should prove one of the most beneficial
