All teachers' certificates, now in existence, must be sent to the State Boaru ot Examiners in Columbia for registration. The names of all touchers who taught in Hoiry County last year have been sent to this Board. In a few day* you will receive a letter of instructions from the B'ard and a blank which must be filled cut and returncd with your certificate and summer school credits or diploma. A state certificate will be issued on the credentials that you now hold. Blanks can also be obtained from my ort'icj but it will be best for you to deal directly with the Board in Columbia. It is important that you attend to this at once as no tcacher's contract is valid until she has a state certificate. Because of the great shortage of tcaehcrs, the State Board of Education has made a rule for this year only that persons who desire to teach and wbo have no certificate may be granted a county license by the, State Board of Examiners, provided that the County Superintendent of Education, at the request of the trustees, asks for this license. Of course this request is dependent upon the applicant for license having the proper qualifications for teaching. M. J. Bullock, Co. Supt. of Education. replyWking to g. m. anderson I ask space to reply to C. M. Anderson.
