MADISON PETITION
MAY BEAR FRUIT
Special Elementary School Ex-

the. Near Future

State Superintendent of Public
Instruction George Colvin, who
recently had his attention called
to the scarcity of teachers by B.
F. Edwards, superintendent of
Madison county schools, who
asked for a special examination
III order to supply the deficiency.
forwarded the latter a letter
Tuesday to the effect that the in
formation had been received,
greatly appreciated, and added
that the special examination in
the elementary grades would
doubtless be called for the near
future
The prompt action of the state
official in recognizing the petition
from Madison county was sur
prising to many, however, Mr.
Edwards believed this would be
the case. since the Importance of
this county is recognized as a
school center and the starting
point Of many teachers The in
formation sent 10 Richmond was
TO the effect that definite data re-
garding the proposed examination
soon would be forthcoming within
a few days. Mr.. Colvin also stated
that it would be held in ample
time to secure teachers by the
time the fall session was called to
order.
There were many who dropped
the courses they were pursuing
when they found their grades so
sadly lacking some time ago, but
it is the general belief that they
will renew their studies now with
brighter prospects of securing
foothold in the line of teaching.
There are also many who are anx-
ious to procure life certificates
and many of them are studying
diligently in order to procure the
coveted papers.
