n TREMENDOUS JOB TO IN
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION.

In this emergency we have tried to
do our part. We secured the country
for raw materials--our Traffic Mama
ger spent his days riding freight cars
in-we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their de-
liverieS to us,
But it was a slow process. Some OF
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan--supplies in this country
were low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far
East. Then we had to recruit and
train skilled labor, We brought our
statesmen into the factory and trained
them as foremen. We invented new
machinery. and managed to install it
on Christmas Day, SO as not to inter-
fere with our daily production.

ing to Sections 24a, 24b and FAC
of the School Law, every teacher
who teaches in any public school.
except in cities of the first four
classes, after July I, 1919, must
pass an examination in Agricul-
ture. We have ruled that this
examination for teachers who al
ready hold a certificate must be
held as the 18th, or last subject,
which will be on Saturday even
ing, and that the grade they
make shall be entered upon the
face of the certificate they hold
and made a part of the record in
your office. Thus, if the appli-
can't holds first class certificate
obtained last year, he will be
qualified to teach agriculture
during the life of his certificate.
These applicants will pay TWEEN
ty. FIVE cents to take the examip
alton, Applicants for new GER
titicates will only be charged
the usual one dollar.
The examinations in Agricul-
ture prior to July I, 1919 will
be very elementary. L made ar
rangement with Dear Cooper of
the Agricultural Department of
the University of Kentucky to
furnish Bulletins 81 ana Sc and a
list of sixty or more questions
prepared by the Department of
Education and the Department
OF Agriculture. These questions
are all answered in Bulletins 81
and Sc and from these questions
will be taken the ten questions on
this subject to be asked in May
and the ten to be asked in June.
Dean Cooper assurse me that
he has sent to you enough of
these bulletins and questions to
supply your teachers, and Yet I
am constantly receiving letters
from the teachers asking for
them. Will you please distribute
these bulletins and questions to
your teachers and prospective
teachers so that everybody may
have an equal chance.
Yours very truly,
V. o. GILBERT.
State Superintendent.
Mrs. Davis requests US to add
that bulletins may be had by
calling at her office, she also re-
quests US to say that she has

The sudden change in affairs
came as bolt out of d clear sky

cantonment would rapidly get
down to a regular army status.
