READING CIRCLE
COURSE OF STATE
TEACHERS IS OUT

The reading circle course for Oregon
teachers for the current year was is
sued Wednesday by J. A. Churchill,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. One book of those listed in the
course must be read by teacher to
enable her to qualify for registration
of her certificate between November l,
1919, and November 1, 1920.
Books of a vocational character are
read under direction of the correspond
ence department of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college and those of a gen.
eral educational nature under direc-
ton of the correspondence department
of the University of Oregon. Accord
ing to Mr.. Churchill, many teachers
have been so impressed with the value
of the course that they have read four
or five books of the course in addition
to the one required by law.
To assist him in raising the stand
ards of the tachers' profession, Mr..
Churchill has appealed to the teach
ers through the medium Of the state
course, county institutes and all de-
partments of the state educational
work. In this connection he says:
"While the high standards for GER
tification may cause a temporary short
age Of teachers, it is only by insist
ing upon these qualifications that we
can have effective work done in the
public schools. This will, Of course,
mean that techers must receive higher
salaries so that they can afford to
make adequate preparation for their
work. The hearty support the reading
circle work is receiving throughout the
state shows that the teachers are de-
termined to join the state department
insisting that none but trained teach
ers may enter the profession"
