No teacher can secure a county certificate now who is not 18 years of age. 4 The only ' way one , can teach unden 18 years of age is to hold a normal training certificate from some high school in the coun ty. There have been a few teachers in-the county under this age and there were aplicants from prospec tive teachers this year who did not know of the change in the law.1 Elementary science, including phy sical geography and ootany, is re quired for a third grade certificate this year and will be given in the institute. To this must be added music and English literature' for a second grade. Algebra, ancient and modern history, bookkeeping and elementary science with the addition of physics are requi-ed for a first grade certificate. Ah of these, .re quirements are a part of .the new certificate law. RAILROADS SEND THEIR LIQUOR LAW INSTRUCTIONS Local Agents Warned About Deliv ery of Wt Goods.
