Among the laws passed by the last
legislature is one which theoretically
ought to raise the standard in district
schools, but which in practice Is most
disastrous In substance the law Is
that no teacher having first grade
certificate shall receive less than $50
per month salary: teacher having n
second grade certificate shall receive
q smaller amount and third grade
certificate calls for a still smaller
salary. The law works hardship on
first class teachers, because almoTt
no district will pay fifty dollars a
month. A great number Of teachers
throughout the state have not been
able to get positions this year becauss
their certificates are first class and
teachers who know less are in de-
mand.
