For the Teachers.

On May 30 and 81, the elemen-
tary and high school course will
be finished. All applicants, both
high school andsa elementary, WHO
have been taking these series Of
examinations will have to take the

til June 80, 1917, or after, do not
have to take the reading circle
work.
| have just received a letter from
the state superintendent, S. W.
Sheriff., which is as follows:
"My Dear Superintendent: In
order that high school teachers may
be able to obtain certificates on the
several different subjects they may
wish to teach, we have arranged to
make certificate on some of the
subjects OF several of the groups.
am sure this will be quite convenience
to number of high school teachers.
In many OF our counties they are
establishing third-class or two-year
high schools to take the place OF the
old secondary school. Teachers in
these schools will need certificates on
several different groups. By taking
this group they may receive certificate
that will thus enable them to teach in
such schools. hope you will notify
your teachers OF this, so that all who
may wish may take this group in the
May examination. The group is as
follows:
Subjects required: Spelling, gram
mar, rhetoric, arithmetic, algebra,
general history and biology.
Applicant may elect such other r
subjects as may be desired.
Please announce that all of the
elementary subjects will be given in
the next examination and all who
failed in any OF the subjects OF the
December or March examinations
may take those subjects again.
The schedule for the examination
will be sent you within the next few
days. | hope you will have this
schedule published in your county
paper, so that teachers may know when
the subjects which they desire to take
are scheduled to come"

thousand marines and soldiers
and light artillery pieces, who
marched in attack on "Lubin Viii

few minutes and then turned their
attention toward the occupation of
Newport itself. No, it will never
be chronciled in United States his
