By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, March 15:-Criticism

called Chinese WALL about these
| callings by excluding all from them
but-those who can present the abnor-
MAJ standards of educational Qualif-
cations were heard here at the meet
ing of the State Board of Education.

fact that at present the rules of the
| state board provide that no one may
teach in the schools of New Jersey

school education.
John p. Murray. of Jersey City. a
member of the board, declared that
there are many teachers, of the high
est ability, whom the state may lose
because of this arbitrary regulation.
The teachers he has In mind are
those who graduated in years back
from high schools which had then
only ~three-year courses, which was
then acceptable under b teaching
requirements Of the state.
| You are building a Chinese wall
| for teachers" he declared, because
of the rules of this board and the
services of some valuable people will
be iOSL 10 the state S ScnOO SYSTEM.
There are men in our law office who
| never saw the inside of a college and
whom / would not exchange"
1t was pointed out 10y Professor
John c. Van Dyke, of New Bruins,
| wick. that the regulations concerning
teachers are in conformity with the
views of the State Board of EXAMINE
ers for teachers certificates.

| want to hold up some of the STAN
dards just the same as do some of
the lawyers and some of the doctors"
said Mr.. Murray.
Heaven help the lawyers If they
had to conform with the modern re-
quirements, some of Them" chimed
in Robert l.. Cox, Of Montclair, who
succeeded Grover Cleveland as
sci II executive officer for the Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Presidents
in 1908.
