EDUCATIONAL BOARD FACESSzs B|G TASK,
 SAYS MISS TOLES

Phoenix, March 21-The state board of education is faced with put ting across two big projects as re- suit of legislation enacted at the re- cent session of the legislature, accord ing to Miss Elsie Toles, state superin- tendent of education. Not that the state board is complaining of the task before it. The board requested the legislation that brings about these two new pieces of work.
 The first big task is that of arrang ing the plans in every detail for carrying on the teachers institutes under the jurisdiction of the state board of education. Under the for mer arrangements, the teachers in stitutes were strictly county affairs, arranged and paid for by the several counties. Under this plan the county set the time, and the place for the meeting, the teachers coming from all parts of the county to attend the in- stitute.
 Under the new legislation, the insti tutes will be conducted by the state board. The speakers to lectures to the teachers on professional subjects will be chosen by the state board. Instead Of the teachers coming to the speak CTS, the speakers will visit the sever al communities and deliver their lee tUres
 The proposed plan will be a big inlPI ovement over the old one,'' said Miss Toles today By sending the speakers out to the teachers of the communities we hope thereby .o reach also the residents of the var1 ous communities as well as the ceache',y This rFan also will do away with the necessity of closing uD the schools for two or three days as was customary when the teachers were evnected to attend the insti- tates.''
 The work of securing the desired ~reakevG and arranging speakin9 schedules for them will have to be y-orlzed out in the office of the state "pcrintandent The state will pay for all eTpenses incurred in holding the institutes"
 The second big piece of work to be taken up by the state and school board under new legislation is the matter of handling the .certificatlon of teachers. The new law turns all Of this work over to the state board Of education Formerly this was handled by the state board of eX- aminers. This board is to be abol- ished
 Under the new plan which takes effect next June, it is hoped to raise t'a standards Of the teaching pro- fession in the state. Already the standard is considered unsusually high according to Miss Toles, but the board iz anxious to continue the improve nent wherever it is possible. Plans f0~ this new work will have to be drawn up and put into action within tho next three or four months.
 Poth of the bills that provide for these new features in the adminstra- ten of the state school system were urged by the progressive school peo- ple of the state. On the whole, it looks as though the new state super jntendent of schools has some real work before her in putting into ef- feet the provisions of these two bills alone.
