Education Bourd
Plans Certificution

AS a part of the new certifi-
cation regulations approved by the
State Board of Education in May,
1861, the State Department of
Public Instruction is adopting a
program of examinations which
may be used toward certification.
Most of the examinations to be
Examination of the Educational
Testing Service, Princeton. New
Jersey. Others will be determined
comparatively with the University
of Delaware.
AS stated in the new regulation,
use of the examinations: ID to
validate work from an unaccredit-
ed college; (2) to determine COM
potency in an additional teaching
field for a person already certifi-
Gated in one field; CD to com
plete course requirements for a
major teaching field if the appli-
cant lacks only six semester hours
or less and has at least three
years of successful teaching eX-
perience in the particular area :;
and (4) to further determine com
potency in subject matter area
where an applicant has too many
low grades to permit certification
but has a reported successful
teaching experience in the parti-
cular subject.
The State Department of Public
Instruction has been designated by
the Educational Testing Service as
one of the testing centers for the
National Teachers Examinations
and DR.. John G.. Parres, State
director of Research and Publ
cations, as the supervisor for the
examinations.
DR.. Elizabeth c. Lloyd, state
director of Teacher Education and
Professional Standards, has mott
fled all of the schools about the
new program and has announced
Saturday, February 10. 1862. as
the date when the examinations
will be given by DR. Parres at the
William Henry Comprehensive
oSllNFOl III IoNCi at y An
and / 80 PM.
DR.. Lloyd reports that the Certi-
fication Committee gave very care
full consideration to the proposal
for using the examinations. In
answer TO the criticism that the
use of the examinations will lower
educational standards, DR. Lloyd
u ty,,s. 1at 80 Loo mn,
ton. She reports that the scoring
which will be used will be equiva-
lent of that used for college stu
dents who are graduating with
majors in the particular field. Only
truly competent persons can ex
pect to be successful in the eXami-
nations.
The program is not to be con-
fused with the old examination
given years ago which could be
used for complete certification.
The new program is designed for
specific situations and allows for
greater flexibility in the applica-
ton of the existing certification
regulations.
The use of examinations for
limited use in certification pro-
cedures is receiving increasing
study throughout the country
Delaware expects to make some
contributions to this study as we'll
as to the whole question of how
to make certification regulations
more flexible and more realistic
without sacrificing standards.

protected is only 10 feet wide,
in theory the screen need be
only l foot high, but this
would protect only low-grow-
ing plants. If the plants were
5 feet high then the screen
would need to be nearly as
high.
Our injurious winds come
from the west and from the
north-winds that suck the
sap from the foliage. Some
times we get severe winds from
the east but not often enough
to justify a screen planting on
that side for protection. Thus
the winds to check are from
the north and west.
Last winter many shrubs
that were sprayed with a latex
material seemed to withstand
the winds much better than
those that were not sprayed
Certainly that was the ex-
perience the previous winter
Perhaps that will be the most
feasible answer for m any
gardeners. However, in the
more exposed areas, temporary
screens will be needed to pro-
tect valuable plants but they
should not be put into place
until early in the winter after
the plants have attained dor

tender plants as azaleas,
camellias, rhododendrons, IL
gustrum q. lucidum), fire
thorn (Pyracantha). lockwood,
and other broad-leaved ever
green's. This, because such
plants need chilling breezes in
the fall to force them into
dormancy fefore injurious
freezes arrive. Last fall was
warm and there were plenty
of rains so that in most
gardens the plants were grow
ing vigorously and were not
dormant in the least when the
December freeze hit them
That is why winter injury was
so severe and so widespread
1t is also the reason why we
should be careful in planting
permanent screens and wind
breaks.
AS a general rule, it is the
southern breezes and sunshine
that keep plants growing
Screens that exclude both sun
and warm breezes help to bring
winter dormancy to plants
Conversely, if the screens are
on the north side they delay
dormancy and make the plants
more susceptible to winter in
jury.

Many shrub borders and
trees are planted with the idea
of providing privacy, to screen
out undesirable views, or in
the case of trees to provide
needed shade. However. this
past winter and spring they

have more than proved their
worth by reducing the injury
from bowling winds.
Winds can be useful in the
garden by helping to dry out
the wet soils, by preventing
frost pockets in the fall, and
of course, in the summer by
bringing cooling breezes to the
gardener. In the fall we want
chill breezes to check the
growth so that plants will
mature.
But they can be equally
damaging. Strong winds, as
during the past winter, robbed
the evergreens of their mois-
ture faster than the roots
could replace it, hence much
dead foliage, some dead twigs
and flower buds this spring.
Strong winds in the spring
and summer take the moisture
from tender growing plants
faster than the roots can re-
place it and SO stunt the
plants. This is especially no.
ticeable with such tender
things as the lilies. Another
spring and summer problem is
the wind, which, together with
hot sun, soon crustS unpro-
tected soils. The crust pre-
vents air and moisture from
reaching plant roots. When
this occurs early in the spring
it often prevents seedlings
from pushing through the soil
and they die.
How Much Windbreak?
Winds are good and winds
are injurious. The problem is
how much permanent wind
break should be included in
the shrub paintings and how
much should be temporary fol
winter protection only? Un-
doubtedly the borders of the

William Harvey Humbles, 43, Of
Ayden, North Carolina, drowned
while swimming near Jennette's
pier at Mays Head Thursday of

working at the pier ran out into
the surf and pulled the two swim
mers in.
According to Phelps, the young
boy was hanging on the raft and
holding his father by one arm
when Phelps reached the two. The
swimmers were approximately 500
feet offshore.
Phelps pulled the two to shore
and Warren Jennette, Jr. admins
tered artificial respiration until au-
thorities arrived with respirator
equipment and doctor came.

partment were called with respi-
rator. DIR. Wallace Harvey, Jr. of
Manteo was called and members Of
the u. S. Coast Guard were called.
After working for about an hour
and half with Humbles, DR.. Har-
vey pronounced him dead.
The Humbles family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Humbles and one son were
staying at Jennette's motel near
the pier. His wife was fishing from
the pier at the time of the acci-
dent.
Humbles is survived by his wife,
