LANE ISSUES REGULATIONS
Under Which Settlers May Take
 Tracts of Alaska Coal Lands.


 Washington, Jan. 1.-Secretary Lane today issued regulations under which settlers may take for two year periods ten acre tracts of Alaska coal lands for local and domestic fuel needs. He announced that on ac- count of legal complications caused by existing claims and the fact that there are no settlers in the imme mediate vicinity the Boring river and Mata- nuska fields would not be opened for the present.
 Consideration is being given now to leasing regulations to cover the general mining of coal in Alaska and they will be issued as soon as prac- ticable. Under todays action the opening of mines on an extensive scale or the export of coal produced is not permitted.

In a Franklin car that has travel
ed through 80 states and part of
| Mexico, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Seaman

/ from Brooklyn, n. Y, their home.
They will remain here until the last

Students who aspire to be teach
ers will welcome the effort of Pro.
Arthur Williams of the State College
for Women, at Tallahassee, to have
passed a law enabling successful
students to step from college halls
to professorship positions without
first taking special examinations be-
fore county boards of public instruc-
tion.
Prof. Williams intends to have the
bill introduced at the next session
of the legislature. His purpose is
to offer inducements to young stu
dents to attend Florida colleges. He
further realizes the advantage of

educational systems, the young folk
wwho are to become teachers. 1t is
most proper, he believes that the
state should show some Partially to

tions have turned out

will also admit without further en-
animation students who have sue
cessfully completed courses in pri-
vate colleges or universities char
tered under the laws of the state
and maintaining specified standards.
How Law Will Operate

lions of higher learning or the
equivalent course in normal depart
ments of private univel stiles, shall
be entitled to third grade teachers

good for two years.
Upon completing satisfactorily the
freshman year of any recognized
normal school in the state, students
will receive a second grade teache-
er's training certificate good for
four years.
Those who pass successfully the
sophomore year of the normal
course will be entitled to first
grade training certificate, good foI
five years. In each instance passing
satisfactorily means that the stu.
dent has achieved an average of sew
enty five per cent or better in al
his studies.
How Certificates Are Issued
All private institutions wishing
to take advantage of the provision!
of the bill will be required to make
application to the State Board O
Education. All persons wishing t.
obtain certificates under the provis
ions of the act will present state
ment to the State Superintendent o
Public instruction, describing tn
course contemplated. This, in turf
must be signed by the president an

acter or is otherwise unfit for publ
position.-St. Petersburg Times.
