MANY TEACHERS

Copies Of Resolution Passed by
State Board Sent Throug h
out the State

Many high school teachers i'm
North Dakota who have not pro-
per credentials will be out of po-
sitions at the coming school term
as the result Of the passage of a
resolution at recent meeting OF
the state board of education in
Grand Forks.
Copies of this resolution have
just been sent by Richard Hey
ward, state high school inspect
or. to the superintendent of
staten Ugh schools. of education.
Their esolution is as follows:
in view of the fact that some
school boards, boards of educa-
ton or boards of directors, en-
ploy teachers whoh ave no certi-
ficate or credential to teach in
North Dakota and that in other
eases teachers holding element
airy or second grade professional
academic subjects in four-year
high schools, contrary to law.
BE it resolved, that in 19l6-l7
and thereafter high schools in
which teachers arr employed, who
have not credentials according to
law, will bee onsidered as not
meeting the requirements of the
state board Of education for clas-
sification."

A member of the expedition
was artistic and made drawings
of many of the buttes passed.
These drawings we saw at the
Arsenal, and many's the time
during the thirty years we have
lived among the buttes, have we
thought of the drawings and what
faithful representations they
were of many Of the buttes today.
The soldier in telling about the
expedition, told of seeing fires
burning in the ground, but ap-
peared to have no idea that it was
coal burning, of which the coun-
try has since been found to be
full, that was the cause of the
fires. He also said that he thought
it useless to try and get a rail-
road through the country on ac-
count of the fires; that the land
would surely sink.

The next aftel the Stan!ey e.-

coming out of the rough country

river known for several years as
the Cantonment. With the advent

later and now have the country.
