There are 200 teachers teaching
in Bates county at the present and
1870 Of these are doing the Reading
|sCircle work. Most of those not
doing the work are the ones that
did not do the work last year.
Those teachers who are teaching
on endorsed certificates and not
doing this work had as well plan
to take the March examinations
in this county if they expect to
teach in Bates county next year.
I will not re-endorse their certifi-
Gates. In fact, / am not going to
endorse certificates so indiscrimi-
nately as l did last year
The regular teachers examina-
ton will be held in the Butler
high school building Friday and
Saturday March 3rd and 4th.
The order of subjects will be as
follows: Friday, March 3rd
Geography, language, algebra,
photography, grammar, arithme-
tic, literature, reading; Saturday,
March 4th; Civil Government, U. |
s. history, agriculture, algebra,
advanced science, physiology,
writing, pedagogy, literature, ad-
vanced history The examination
fee is $500. This entities the APP
plicant to take the three examina-1
tons given this year. I trust that
more will take advantage of the
three. examinations rather than
wait for the last one as was done
last year. I think too that it is
better for the applicant to have
papers graded by the State Sup
erintendent rather than myself
as grades made. in this way may
be transferred to any part of the
State, and they may also be trans
ferred to First grade certificate
while if l grade them this can not
be done. Grades on valid third
grade certificate may be used on
a second grade, provided the APP
plicant has had the required high
school work. Grades on q valid
second grade certificate may be
used on first grade certificate,
provided the applicant has had
the required high school work and
the papers have been read by the
State Superintendent as stated
above. Those teachers who have
taught on a third grade certifi-
cate the past four terms can not
teach on the same certificate next
year; according to law they viii
have to raise their grade Of certi-
ficate or quit.
