WILL HOLD TEST
UNDER OLD LAW
New Rule Governing Granting
of Licenses to Teachers Will
be Effective Sept. |.

An examination for school teachers
will be held this Saturday in the office
of County Supt. of Schools LOngfield.
This is the eighth examination for the
year and the last one under the old
school license law. There probably
will be so applicants for licenses pres
ent to take the examination.
Because of the changes made by the
new school license law, which Is eff
fective on sept. l, there Will be ninth

animation will be held in October and
will be followed next year by eXamina-
tons in January, March, April, May
June, July and August. The former
February examination is eliminated by
the new law.
County Supt Longfield considers the
new law to be a decided Improvement
over the o. law in that it gives APP
plicants for teachers licenses more
opportunity without in the least low
ering the standard of requirements
one of the changes which will be the
most appreciated by applicants is the
one which permits the applicant who
fails in not more than two subjects TO
take those subjects over at the next
general examination without the ne
cessity of taking over the work IN the
other subjects.
Hereafter it will be at the discretion
Of the state board as TO whether or not
the examinations are taken IN one day
or two DAYS There are to be no more
special examinations, as has been the
custom, but all applicants must quail
fy at the regular general examinations.
At the request of a school board or
township trustee a county superln-
tendent may issue temporary permit
10 teach which permit shall expire at
the next succeeding general eXamina-
ton. such special permits, however,
cannot be issued TO others than those
meeting the minimum professional
training requirements and who have
not failed in any examination during
the u months preceding
Among other changes made by the
law il is also provided that high school
licenses must be state licenses thus
