Recommendations Of Inland
Empire Teachers Association

That the teachers certificate law Of
Oregon is one of the best yet adopted
by any state is shown by the report
of the certificate committee of the IT.
land Empire association recently held
at Spokane. The committee submit
ted report every point Of which is
covered by the Oregon certificate law,
and recommends that all the states
forming this association; namely,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon, secure certificate laws as outlined
by the report. As Oregon already has
such law, this will mean that the
other three states will model their
laws after the Oregon law. The re-
port of the committee follows:
ITO the Educational Council Of the
Inland Empire Teachers association:
In order to raise the standard Of
qualifications for teaching and to pro-
mote interstate comfy your committee
begs leave to recommend the follow
ing:
81. The classification of certif-
Gates and the standards of certificates
should be uniform in the four states
included in the Inland Empire. (This
to include a standardized list Of insti-
tutions from which papers are accred-
ited.)
~. All certificates should be issued
by state authority rather than through
county superintendent offices.
"3. All examination questions
should be prepared under state author
ity and all examination papers should
be graded by state authority.
"a. Certifcation through institu
tional training rather than by examin
alton should be emphasized and en-
couraged.
SO. No certificate should be grant
ed to persons who have not completed
high school course or its equivalent
plus professional training.
sc. Within a reasonable time al
rural and grade teachers should b
graduates of normal school course o
two years in addition to four yea
high school course.
81. All persons who teach in &C
credited high schools should have fou
years of training beyond four year
high school course, such training to in
clude or be supplemented by profes
sional training.
80. 1t is the sense of the commit
tee that statutes on certificatio
should be broad and general, leavin
details to be determined by the Stat
Board of Education or other legal
constituted agency.
SO. No laws enacted should be re
; troactive."

Cleaning and Refreshing Rugs.

Written for this paper by Martha Bechen. o. A C.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Cleaning is absolutely essential
to keep a rug looking well and to
make it last. The cleaning necessary
depends on the use of the rug, but all
rugs should receive a thorough going

The loose dust and dirt must be dis

When all the spots have been re-

following are some recipes:
Shave half pound of soap and boil
it in a quart of water until dissolved.
Then add one gallon of hot water anc
one ounce of salts of tartar, mixing
thoroughly. The application to the
rug should be made with stiff brush.
Scrub the rug with the mixture, which

without allowing it to get very wet

Americans Won't Study.

One of the reasons why after long ex-
perience in road building. so little is
known about the best methods of road
construction is that Americans are not
a studious nation. That was the con-
clusion submitted by w. H. Reed. of
Tacoma, president of the State Assoei-

recent Road Builders Institute at the
university. Also, Americans are too
eager to put new road into use, he
