WES WRIGHT DIES AT MINNEAPOLIS HOSPITAL (Continuea From FPage 1) that his old friend, G. E. Carson, was at St. Mary’s hospital and paid him a visit. While at the hospital he was taken seriously ill and passed away Friday afternoon. . Wes, as everybody called him, would have been 51 years on the 11th of this month. He was born in Gray County, Ontario and came to this county about 23 years ago. He homesteaded at Bridgie, near Orth, walking there from Deer River, the nearest railroad town. He is survived by a wife, three sons, Melvin, Roy and Jack, and four brother.

His family was immedi- ately notified, but death came be- fore any member could reach his bedside. . Melvin, the- nldest son, left last night for Minneapolis. He will return with the body Sunday and funeral arrangements will be made as soon 88 word is received from distant rel- atives. ‘Wes has a host of friends in this section who will regret his early de- mise and who cxt'end sympathy to the surviving relatives. 0 Better Preparation of Teachers. One of the chief functions of the State is to provide educational advantages for all its children. pruvideg through better buildings, m: Better opportunity for some must be ore adequate equipment and longer terms, but the greatest need for all is a “competent, well-trained teach- er, in hearty accord with Americai n ideals, in every public school.” While there is not now so great a shortage in the number of teachers available, there is still serious lack of properly qualified teachers. Schob] - ¢ommunities have recognized the necessity .of better paid teachers and have raised salaries qccordingly. Better qualified teachers will now be demanded. The State Board of Education, recognizing the need of higher standards, has recently revised and raised the certificate qualifications. Progressive teachers, through their national, state and divisional associations, are expressing themselves strongl, fili‘;her standards. * Because o tions will continue to ,sl%w increase 3 THE SUM!

CHANGES IN CERTIFICATE REGULATIONS. The State Board of Education has recently made some changes in the requirement for teachers’ certificates. . > First Grade Certificates. 1. Hereafter, in addition to having the required academic credits, an applicant for a first grade certificate must complete full twelve weeks of work in each of four professional subjects listed below; three from Group L., and one from either Group I. or II Group 1.— U. S. History and Citizenship Methods Primary Handwork Hygiene-Sanitation Methods Rural School Methods and Ad- Arithmetic Methods Composition and Language Methods. Geography Methods Grammar_ Methods Primary Methods Reading Mcthods ministration Group 11— Music Methods Garment Making Drawing Methods Playground Methods Foods and Cookery Library Methods 2. These four required professional subjects are equivalent to four regular college units of work. While only four professional credits will be required, instead of six as heretofore, the amount of work re- ‘mains the same. Regular double period work in the two rofessional subjects during each of two summers or work in four single period rofessional subjects in a regular twelve-week term is now required. he temporary first grade certificate is no longer granted at the end of six weeks of work. 3. The renewal of ‘a first-class certificate (except first renewal of a high‘school normal training certificate, and the Teachers College certificate earned by high school graduates through completion "of a year’s work) requires the completion of two additional professional credits, the presentation of four Reading Circle credits, and evidence of two years' successful experience under the certificate. High school graduates may earn both the professional and aca- demic credits at the same time in any required subject pursued in a double ‘daily recitation period. > Students who already have completed half of the professional requirément may complete the full requirement in one summer session provided that the credits are finally distributed as required under item one. . : Second Grade Certificates.
