NEW CERTIFICATES
WILL Be ISSUED

We herewith publish two letters
which come to us through the Office
of county superintendent of schools,
Mrs. Shurte. One is regarding the
issuance of professional teachers
certificates of merit. Both letters
are, or should be of deep interest to
the school teachers of Morrow coun-
ty and for that reason they have been
handed to the Gazette-Times for pub
lication. They follow:
February, IL, 1917.
To County superintendent:
This. department is interested in
having the teachers throughout the
State meet the requirements for the
professional teachers certificate.
The certificate is issued without cost
to those applicants who meet the re-
quirements established by this De-
partment. We believe that much
professional growth will come to the
teachers through the efforts put
forth to earn this certificate.
We have today in Oregon some
teachers who 60 from county to
county after but'a years residence in
each, and who fail to give the right
service in every district where they
go.
The professional certificate is a
| guarantee that teacher is interest
ed in her work, and that she is pro-
gressive. Other things being equal
school boards should give preference
to the teacher holding this certifi-
cate. This action on the part of the
school board would tend to eliminate
those teachers who are not interested
in their work and who do not care to
make additional preparation from
year to year for the benefit of the
I districts and the children whom they
are to serve.
Very sincerely yours,
j. "A. CI1O pSI1lLA
Supt. Public Instruction
To. Teachers:
A plan has been adopted by this
department for giving public recogni-
ton to those teachers Of the State
who prove themselves to be progress
sive and successful in their work
To all teachers who show a proper
professional spirit, and who (1)
teach successfully for at least eight
months during the year 1915-1916;
| CD meet all requirements for a teac.
her in standard school and comply
strictly with the laws relating to fire
dangers and fire drills; (3I send
promptly to the county superinten.
dent all reports requested by him
or required by law; (4) attend the
annual teachers institute or teachers
training school, and at least one To-
cal institute; 60 read during the
year, under the supervision OF the
University of Oregon or the Oregon
Agricultural College, at least two
books on the teachers reading circle
list; will be given by this department
without charge, upon the written re-
commentator of the county superin.
tendent, a professional certificate Of
merit.
This certificate will show all the
requirements which the teacher has
met and should be of great assistance
to the holder in securing proper re-
cognition from boards Of directors
and other school officials.
Very truly yours,
