LETTER FROM STATE SUPT. HARRIS.


Department OF Education
Baton Rouge, October II, 1917
Dear Superintendent:
Ihope you will call the attention Of
your teachers to the law which pro-
vides that after January 1, 1921, first
grade certificates will be extended
for periods of five years only upon
the application of summer school or
institute credits. The rule will apply
to first grade certificates earnedin ex-
aminations or based upon normal
school and college diplomas.
The following will illustrate the ap-
plication of the law:
1. A teacher holding first grade
certificate earned in examination or
based upon a normal or college di-
ploma, i'm order to have his certificate
extended for five years, after January
1, 1921, will be required to present (a)
three summer school credits, (b) or
three institute credits, (c) or one sum-
mer school credit and two institute
credits, (d) or two summer school
credits and one institute credit, all
earned within five years.
2. An institute credit is earned by
passing q successful examination in
two Of the teschers' reading circle
books. Two institute credits can be
earned the same year BY passing sue
cessful examinations in al four of the
reading circle books. Circular No. 612
gives the titles and prices Of this
years reading circle books. They
will be furnished upon application
by F. F. Hsnsell & Bro, New Orleans.
The institute credits have following
value In addition to those above: (s)
One institute credit will extend any
grade of certificate one year. (b) One
institute credit is worth $50 in an ex-
animation; two credit, rs. (c) One in
stitute credit is valued ct one college
hour.
1t is reasonable to require every
teacher to read carefully q minimum
of six professional books in every five
year period (unless he attends sum-
mer schools) and to pass successful
examinationss.on them Is . condition
precedent to extension of his GER
tificate. To avoid the embarrassment
and trouble of being required to earn
first grade certificates in examination
after January 1, 1921, teachers
should, every year, buy at least two
Of the reading circle books, and al
the end Of the session apply for ex-
aminations in them, for they must
understand that the first grade GER
tificates, earned in examination OF
based upon normal and college Dip
Tomas, will not be extended after
January 1, 1921, except in accordance
with the rules outlined above. This
applies to our own institutions as well
as to those located in other states.
Yours sincerely

State Superintendent.
