SYSTEM OF CERTIFICATION
Second Article
Tiifr question has often been asked,
“Muit what changes have been made
in the old form of certification?”
The rra\% important changes arc the
tiemg arway entirely with the prima
cy ocrtiiierte and raising the quali
fications both for general elementary
and b\gb school.
Elementary Certificate
Be for/* one can obtain a first grade
gvnerad elementary certificate, he
most rboi r by certification or exami
nation that he has had the education
equivalent to a graduate of a stan
dard high school.
High School Certificate
Bi-finn* one can hold any kind of
n. iagh selicol certificate he must have
the education of a graduate of a
standard Junior college beyond that
of the high school graduate. This
can be tfhown both by certification
*ind examination, however preferably
In certification from standard col
leges and normal schools.
Tlif: principle upon which the new
form of certification ia based is that
knowing the subject you teach is
mail important. Indeed you can not
teach a subject that you do not know
and one who thoroughly knows a
subject is more than hot to be a good
tracker of that particular .-übject,
jinrnried he is temperamentally fitted
for a reached.
However, we wish to recognize to
tbe in Id -extent the value of profes
sional training and no professional
certificate will be granted, however
long the teacher may have taught,
wales:; he may show by certification
or by other good evidence that he
ha? done this professional work (lk
•era£:fer hours) in education.
Tbe question will arise among ma
ny t*:achers who have taught for ma
ny years, and have been very suc
cessful indeed, are recognized as
the best teachers of their communi
ty- t vino have iu>t attended any ap
proved summer school, yet by read
ing and study of .tandard iiooas oil
lurntuui have fully equipped them
fwlves a. prof/s ional teachc s. To
ssutls there will l;e given an opportu
nity at the annual examination to,
fthon flit . and questions will be seat
upon th.snbjec's of History o ’ E -
urala-n, Method in I.location, and
General I'sycoloyy.
Indeed. tlu- general principle

t>f <t grade general e anientary eertif
iraa*. or one of the certificates of
fht- ve e standing that has been is-
sued to graduates of high schools
with certain profe nional training re
quired. In making application for
the conversion of this certificate into
the new form of general elementary,
he would have to show that he had
the equivalent education of a high
school graduate, and submit proper
certificates of this from standard
high schools,. If he had not graduated
from a high school or couid obtain
no record of his graduation, then he
would take an examination or that
nait of the questions in the general
elementary that deals wirh the high
-ehocl subjects, avid upon the re3idt
, of this examination anew form of
| certificate would he issued. If he
did not qualify as to having artained
the education of a high school grad
uate, he would receive a second or
third grade general elementary, and
this could be converted into a first
I grade as toon as he could show by
| proper evidence his attainment of an
education the equivalent of a high
school graduate.
How to Convert • Provisional Certifi
cate Into a Professional Certificate
To convert a provisional into a
professional certificate it must be
, shown by certificates from approved
• school./ and colleges or by other good
I evidence that the applicant has done
! the eighteen semester hours of work
in education, or its equivalent. Upon
j this showing all certificates above
the first grade general elementary
i and including this, may be converted
l into a professional certificate, provid
jed the applicant has taught succoss
fully for three years or mere.
N* Second or Third Grade High
School Certificates
There ana no longer any second or
: third grade high ischool certificates
issued and those can never be the ba
sis of conversion into the new form
of certification. However, those hold
ing first grade high school certificates
that have not had the educationd
equipment of a graduate of a stand
ard Junior college ishowr. either by*
certification or examination, may au
tomatically convert the:e into first
grade general elementary, and by
showing necessary professional train
ing and service this may be convert
ed into professional and life.

And live for God, oor Father, by tak

For some day she shall close her eyes

To be with God, our Father, and
