erintendent, who had no interest in the ---------.--a
matter outside of that district, issued
such certificates without question to
every person recommended . by a
school board.
"We shall issue no more special cer-
I tificates ' except to persons who are
I certified to us as being entitled to re
ceive them," said State School Superin
tendent J. A. Churchill. "Already we
i have had two or three cases arise
where we have had to refuse to issue
a special certificate. We want to in
form school boards and teachers about
this new law as early as possible so
teachers won't wait, as they have
been accustomed to doing in the past
until about the time for the opening
of their schools and then send in here
for a special certificate."
These special certificates are issued
for teaching manual training, domes

writing, stenography, penmanship, do
