all students desiring to take these

All teachers should endeavor to
raise the grade of their certificates
and to make as great an advance
ment aa they may be able. For this
reason, teachers with third grade
certiorates roust take branches lead
Ing to a second grade; teachers with
second grade certificates should

try to procure professional life cer
ti flea ten.
