The attention of school officers is
called to the, law concerning legally
qualified teachers. Briefly stated the
law is-Principals of first class grad
ed schools must hold a state certi-
ficate of some form, and only one
assistant teacher may hold third
grade certificate; all others a first
grade or training school certificate.
In second class graded schools the
principal must hold nothing less
than a second-grade certificate, and
have had two years successful exper-
fence in teaching; or if he holds
first grade, must have taught at least
one year with success, and the GER
tificate must have been issued by the
superintendent of the county where
the person is to teach Applicants for
such first grade teachers positions
must file with the clerk testimonial
of successful teaching issued by the
local county superintendent; the
same is true in the case of teachers
holding second grade certificate.
Until this testimonial is filed, the
teacher is not legally qualified, and
the board is not permitted to sign a
contract with a teacher.
County certificates have no force
outside the county where issued. A
teacher holding a certificate in Coun-
ty B. can not use it in making a
contract to teach in the county Of
|C. School officers and teachers in
such circumstances should first refer
the matter to the county super
intendent.
Many state graded schools will
this year be doing work that will en-
title them to consideration for the
special state aid of 500, and all will
be doing strong work in agriculture
When you engage your teachers for
next year, you should make sure that
one of them can conduct manual
training, and another domestic sci
ence cooking and sewing) in a sat
isfactory manner; also, that the prin-
cipal can teach agriculture well. If
it should transpire that he or any
teacher is not safe in this vocational
teaching, such should be required to
attend normal summer school this
summer and specialize in such work.
Teachers holding training school
certificates issued prior to January
LIST, 1916 can not legally contract to
teach except their certificate has
been extended by the county super
intendent To secure this extension,
testimonial signed by at least two
of the district officers which certifies
that her work has been fairly salts
factory at least, must be presented
to the county superintendent.
With the exception of three or four
teachers, reports Of complete library
cataloging have been received. To
save delay in drawing the last
months salary, it is expected that
the ones not yet completed will re-
ceive early attention. If no material
has been furnished you, it is permit
ted that the teacher use good black
ink and place numbers on the back
of the books as they would appear on
a 'sticker" if used. Try to make the
lettering as plain as possible. Old
worn out books need not be cata-
logged, and that fact should be en-
tered in accession book under RE
marks
Indications are that some consOli-
dating of districts, and a few new
school buildings will be brought
about early this summer.
We learn that Principal H. E..
Marshall has been reelected for the
third time as the head of the Bruce
village highschool. Mr.. Marshall has
built up for Bruce an excellent high
school, and materially strengthened
the grades in manner very compli-
mentary to him and his corps of
teachers, and the Board of Education
has shown it's appreciation of his
work by rendering him an advance
Of 5000 for the coming year.
