CERTIFICATE SYSTEM is
EXPECTED TO BE HELP

The adoption of uniform eighth
grade diploma and the signing of all
county teachers certificates by the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton are two results of the meeting of
the state board of education, which
closed its last quarterly session for
1921 Saturday. Announcement of the
changes was made by Miss Ethel E..
Redfield, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, says the Idaho States
man.
Formerly each district prescribed
the form of diploma to be given on
graduation from the eighth grade.
These diplomas were signed only by
the county superintendent, the teach
er of the school and the chairman of
the district board. Under the new
ruling all the diplomas will be alike
and will pass through the state office
receiving the signature of the state
uperintendent.
The board found it necessary to
have teachers certificates signed by
the state superintendent" Miss Red
field said, because of difficulty
teachers had in being recognized out
side of the state"

Dean Eldridge, 244 are enrolled for

this year against 191 last year. Latin
figures for the state were very low
compared with those for Spanish and

dress delivered here this afternoon by
Oswald Garrison Willard, editor OF the
Nation. and former editor of the New

During the week there has been
many designations from both clubs on
the ground that Willard was an admit

to a successful conclusion.
Prominent women who belonged tt
the Women's City club circulated pc.

Willard was in the midst or his adj

the stairs to the auditorium. A CLOSED
door containing a glass panel opened
into an anteroom. The glass was
broken and several of the invaders and
of the defenders who rushed to hold
the door shut were slightly cut The
crowd poured into the antcroom and
there was wild melee. Women mem
bers of the club threw themselves
against the main door to bar the in
