During the year ending June 30, 1911, 602 emergency certificates were Issued to white teachers and 2S7 to colored teachers. The reports for the session just closed are not in yet, but the number is hardly as large aa the year before, since the number of emergency certificates has been gradually de? creasing for several years. This year it will be necessary to issue to white teachers probably only one-half as many emergency certificates as year before last. Colored Teaehera. Xext year the department proposes to take up the matter of providing an adequate supply of colored teachers In a very systematic way. and it is be? lieved that a plan has already been j suggested-that will relieve the sltua ' tion materially. i During the summer the department handled between 50.000 and 60,000 ex? amination papers. This shows that about 5,000 persons take the examina? tion each year, counting as twj per? sons those who try both of the exam? inations. The heaviest part of this work comes in August, but by length? ening the hours and using extra help the papers were handled and the great | bulk of the reports sent out in twenty-] five days. 1 The department will now put thai information s-ecured fr >m the ques-j tionnaire to good use> by sending the. names of available teachers to the; counties needing teachers, and wherever i a fairly decent salary is offered it is; hoped the need may be met promptly. | Climate Failed; Medicine Effective ?* aae been absolutely shown that rest.1 fresh mir and good food Jo help many per? sons suffering from Tuberculosis.
