that The legislation In question has no

best teachers that could be obtained
lat the time.
Concerning this a letter has been re-
ceived by County Superintendent Fox
from the State Board OF Education. A
Epart of the letter follows:
I'VE are still facing unusual con-
Editions, which make it impossible to
Eprocure enough teachers holding regu-
lar certificates to supply all vacancies:
land because of this situation many of
the vacancies must he filled by issuing
provisional certificates.
/ 1.-The County Superintendent grants
provisional certificates with the ap-
Eproval of the State Superintendent
For the reason that the approval rests
with the State Superintendent. he rec
Icommends that in nominating teach
Iers Of this class for positions, the
lCounty Superintendent make the fol-
flowing distinction in the order OF pre-
lferment, viz:
IL Those who hold State certificates
which have expired because of failure
to renew them as specified in the
school law, provided the work of such
teachers was satisfactory.
"2 Those who have held regular
certificates, (say. within a period OF
ten years., but whose certificates have
expired by limitation. provided there
is satisfactory proof of fair success
when employed.
80. Graduates of approved high
schools, eighteen years of age, who
have not met the minimum profes
sional requirement.
"a Those whose scholastic attain
ments are less than high school, grad
uation, provided the county superin-
tendent believes such persons posses:
sufficient academic training to NEE
the needs of the particular schools tt
he taught by them. Should it happier
in emergency cases that the person ap-
pointed possess less training than
school should have, it will be an ad
vantage to select a person some year
older than eighteen, SO that her ma
turer judgment and general informa
ton may partly compensate for de
ficiency in scholarship.
do not grant certificate alone for
the reason of satisfyinga community
clamor for teacher, with no thought
of her fitness. 1t will be far better
for the school situation generally and
for the people OF the particular com
munity if the school is allowed to he
closed temporarily rather than having
a teacher appointed who is thorough
ly unqualified for the position.
Salaries paid to teachers holding
provisional certificates should be rea-
sonably less than those paid to regu-
larly certificated teachers OF the same
grade. The exception should be those
who were prevented by illness from
ATTENDING summer school and who
have presented a physicians certificate
to that effect
Certificates of the second and third
grade can be renewed or extended
only in accordance with the school
law"

Epositions in Anne Arundel schools aft
I er the shortage of teachers became
known, where classified according to
these suggestions, and a very salts
