Quite a few are asking about the teacher’s examination. This will be held March 6-7. Those who hold third grade certificates may raise them to second grade certificates by taking the two additional subjects, algebra and literature. Those hold- ing second grades may raise to a first by taking the two additional subjects, one of history and one of science but all papers for first grade must be graded by: the state superintendent.
