Two very important educational laws were enacted during the recent session of the legislature, the Hunt ington act, which provides a plan for the Improvement of rural schools, and the Hawley act, which will tend to raise the standard of the entire teach ing profession. The former act pro Tides that in each county having more than 60 school districts the county superintendent shall appoint four members of a county educational toard, of which board the county school superinten dent shall be ex-of-ficio chairman. Members of the board receive no compensation for their work. They are to meet on the first Monday in June and divide all the school districts in the county into supervisory districts. Elect .Supervisors. No supervisory district Bhall con tain less than 20 nor more than 50 school districts. This board will also elect a supervisor for each supervis ory district, shall direct the work of the supervisor and aid the county superintendent in carrying out edu cational work throughout the county. Members of this board will be chosen from the representative men and wo men of the county who are especially interested In the welfare of the public schools. Through the working of this educational board and the direct su pervision that the rural schools will hereafter receive there is no doubt that the efficiency of rural school work will be increased at least 100 per cent during the next two years, in the opinion of State Superintend ent L. R. Alderman. Premium on Training. The certificate law places a prem ium upon thorough preparation and special training, yet denies no one the opportunity to take an examina tion for a certificate. The graduate of a standard normal school will re ceive from the state department, without examination, a certificate to teach In the elementary schools, the one year, two year and three year high schools of this state.

City Dyo Works Pboae Mala 199, .!far sity will receive from the state de partment, without examination, a cer tificate to teach In any of the high schools of this state. A plan is also provided whereby a teacher may se cure a certificate through the exam ination method. County certificates are abolished and all examinations will be conducted by the state de partment. An examination equiva lent to the present second grade coun ty certificate will be given for a one year state certificate. This paper is renewed once. Examinations for a five year state certificate will be equiv alent to the present state certificate. Examinations for a life state cer tificate will be the same as the pres ent life -paper, with the addition of three subjects geology, American lit erature and history of education. This will raise the life paper to the stand ard of any other paper in the United States. The five year state certifi cate secured through examination may be renewed when the holder has attended an institution of higher ed ucation for 32 consecutive weeks with In six years of date of issue of such certificate, or may be renewed by taking the same examination. No County Examinations. This new certificate law has the advantage of giving to the teacher when she has once held a certificate the right to teach in any part of the state without having to take another examination every time sho crosses a county line. It is also in conform ity with an agreement reached by a conference of the state school super intendents who meet at Salt Lake City in November, 1910, and In ac cordance with this agreement the holder of a state certificate secured under the provisions of this law will be entitled to teach in any state in the union. It Is expected that this plan will do more than any other one thing that could be done to raise the standard of the teaching profession. One oth er estimable feature of the law Is that it gives to any four year high school In the state the privilege of adding a teachers' training course and grad uates from this teachers' training course w'll be entitled to a one year state certificate. In order for a school to take advantage of this law. It must provide one teacher who shall devote not less than four hours a day to the training course, and such teacher shall be a graduate, of a stand ard normal school or Its equivalent. For the work done In this teachers' training course, three credits are giv en on the basis of 16 credits required for graduation In the high school. French Fleet Arrive. New Orleans, Feb. 23. Three French men of war, comprising the West Indies squadron, arrived at New Orleans today and officers and men were given a rousing reception by the citizens of the Crescent City. A considerable portion of the city's pop ulation is of French descent, and these were especially enthusiastic In their greeting to the Frenchmen. The vessels of the squadron are the Conde, the Clolre and the Admiral Aube. At the conclusion of the Mardl Gras fes tivities the foreign fleet will sail north to pay a visit to the naval acad emy at Annapolis between March 12 and 17. Sunday School Congrrtm. San Francisco, Feb. 23. Althounh the great event Is four months dis tant, Ban Franciscans are already busy with preparations for the en tertainment of the thirteenth trlen nlal congress of the International Bun day School association, June 20 to 27. Assurances have been received that over 4000 official delegates from all over the world In addition to thousands of relatives of delegates and other visitors, will be here at that time. Sell Girla In China. Pekln, Feb. 22. It is estimated by the relief authorities that over a mil lion girls have been sold In the fam mlne district of China. Slave dealers from the more prosperous sections have flocked to the scene of privation and have carried on a tremendous traffic, as few of the sufferers have the fortitude to refuse food In ex change for their daughters. Most of the girls sold are mere children and It is probable that a majority of them will be forced to lives of shame. The authorities are engaged in suppress ing the traffic. MINE OWN COUXTUIE. Many the hands that the true-hearted honor; Many the banners that blow on the sea; Ah, but one country God's blessing upon her! Oh, but one only is precious to me; Dear for her mountains, rock-based. cloudy crested, Hooded with snows 'mid the ardors of June. Haunts where the bald-headed eagle has nested. Staring full hard at his neighbor the moon; Dear for her vineyards and Jesamine gardens, Forests of fir and trees and sugar cane brakes; Dear for her southwlnd, the prairie wardens. Dear for her girdle of saphire lakes; Dear for her southwlnd, the prairie that crosses. Rippling the wheat like a sunshiny aea; Nay I could kiss but the least of her moBsea, All for the love of mine own coun-trle. IXK, MINK, PIXK. (Boston Globe.) The popular colonel of this city who once went to a livery stable and engaged a charger for a holiday pa rade with a distinct understanding that he didn't care what color the horse was if It were only white, now has a counterpart In the girl whe goes to the department store and orders a gown with the simple stipulation that It may be any hue of the spectrum so long as It is pink "Helen pink." The new shade of dressgoods Is named after the present daughter of the White House. Soon we shall be dazzled with an outburst of pink hats, pink ribbons, pink lingerie, pink stockings, pink shoes and pink parasols. Pinkeye, a variety of opthalmia, will be fashionably epidemic. Pink teas, after a period of Innocu cus desuetude, will rage again throughout the land. Can't It be stopped? Or must we suffer in silence as we did during the reign of terror under "Alice blue," when men of normal vision prayed for a temporary spell of color blindness? O, Helen, frown don this latest fad; give It the count Ink, mink, pink, and out; and thus earn for yourself the everlasting gratitude of everybody " who hates montony, whether It be In raiment or music.
