Vol. XXIV.
NOTICE TO TEACHERS
AND SUPERINTENDENTS
FROM DEPARTMENT 0 F
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
DENVER, COLO.
Denver, Colo., June 19, 1911
To the County Superintendents:
I desire to direct your atten
tion to the new laws becoming
effective Aug. 4th next, unless
referred to the people of the
State under the referendum, and
‘now known as House Bill No.
85, both of which make f. change
in the duties of your office as
well as adding new duties, all of
which, in my judgement, need
immediate attention soas-togive
general notice and the widest
opportunity to each actual and
prospective teacher desirous of
attending a normal training
school during the present vaca
tion for the full period of six
weeks provided for under the
latter bill; otherwise, some of
the most promising young teach
ers of Colorado will be prevented
from obtaining oven a thirdgrade
certificate at the coming August
December and March exami
nations.
I am in h a: y sympathy with
the raising of the standard of
teachers and educators in Colo.,
but did not approve of either bill
in the present' form, beleiving
that more consideration should
have been shown the great num
ber of excellent teachers in this
State who have successfuly
taught here for many years
without having had the opportu
nity in earlier life of attending
a high school with a graded four
year course, but who, in my
opinion, have obtained equally
as good a training for this line
of work by being specially quali
fied by nature for teachers, and
jjy being endowed with sufficient
energy to take advantage of all
the opportunities coming within
their reach, and I also feared
that raising the standard of re
quiremente so radically at this
tune without reasonable notice
to those affected, would result
jn the loss of so many of our
competent teachers, whose cer
tificates have now or are about
to expire, that the number of
teachers obtainable for the com
ing year might be inadequate to
meet the demand, it being deem
pd probable that the strict en
forcement of the spirit of the
law would also prevent the re
newal of first grade cirtificates
issued under the old law.
It seemed to me at tha time
this bill was pending, and sc
seems at this time that it would
have been only common justice
to that large army of teachers in
this State who from either lack
of opportunity or means have
been deprived of the required 4
years’ high school training, to
have had a clause inserted in
this law exempting from this re
quirement such of their number
as have successfuly taught in
this State for a period of say 3
years, and especially so as simi
lar exemptions have invariably
been made in this and neighbor
ing States at the time of enacting

new Jaws for the regulation of I
the practice of medicine, den- j
( tistry, law and kindred profess- !
ions. But those leading educat
• ors of the State who were be- i
hind the bill refused to consider |
any amendments, and, having.
sufficient influence with the
members of the legislature,
caused its passage in its present
form; and this department is
now confronted with the duty
of enforcing its provisions re
gardless of any personal feelings
in the matter.
(Continued next week.)
HONEST MEDICINE VERSUS
FAKES.
President Taft’o recent message sug
gesting an amendment to tha'Pure Food
and Drug Jaw in Us relation to“prepar
ed Medicines does not refer to such
standard medicines as Foley’s Honey
and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney
Pills both of which are true medicines i
carefully compounded of ingredients j
whose medicinal qualities are recognized
hy the medical profession itself as' the
known remedial agent for the diseases
they are intended to counteract. For
over three decades Foley’s Honey and
Tar Compound has been a standard
remedy for coughs colds and effeetions
of the throat, chest and lungs for chil- |
dren and for grown persons, and it re- |
tains today its pre-eminence above all
otherjpreparatibns of its kind. Foley’s
Kidney Pills are equally effective and
meritorious. At Postoffice Drug Store.
