HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
CERTTFICATION CONSIDERED

A meeting of representatives Of
various educational interests of the
state was held in Madison on Satur-
day, September 23rd, at the office of
DR.. Hinmon, Head of the Department
OF Education of the University of
Wisconsin. The committee is COM
posed of representatives of the State
superintendent Department, the
University of Wisconsin, the City
Superintendent Association, the
High School Principals Association
and the Normal School Presidents.
The work of the committee looks
towards legislation advancing re-
quirements for high school teachers.
Two forms of certificates are propos-
ed. permanent certificate to grad
yates of Four Year Courses in col
leges and normal schools, a temper
airy certificate good for a period of
four years granted to graduates of
Three Year Courses in normal
schools. This temporary certific- re
may become permanent certificate
after the completion of one year adj
vanced study at normal school or at
a college or university.
The Normal Schools are now sup
plying over 40es of the high school
teachers of the state. In view of this
fact, it appears to be wise policy to
put the normal schools in such way
that they may more adequately pre-
pare teachers for this line of work.
President Ames of the River Falls
Normal School attended the commit
tee meeting as representing the Nor
NAL School Presidents Association.

CATTLE RAID STILL

1t is reported that herd of cattle
raided a still on "Moonshine Hill"
down near Rush River recently and
imbibed rather freely of the bad stuff
and became gloriously drunk. Dur
ing the hilarity the cattle trampled
in the dirt, it is said, two sacks of
sugar, some rye and corn. The owner
it is said remarked that the cattle
came home on their knees and ell
bows. 1t is reported that one of the
cattle died. We have been hearing of
this liquor factory for several months
and it is a wonder somebody hasn't
put the officials next. Get up a Cal
ifornia rabbit drive and you sure will
get 'em. Ellsworth Herald.
