endorsement of a certificate extend its life beyond the time for which it was originally granted 2 The five essentials When a first second or third grade county certificate granted under the old law expires the homer tnereoi in oruer to secure a certificate under the new law will be required to take an ex amination before the state examin ing board in the following five essen tial subjects reading arithmetic geography grammar and history After an applicant has taken the ex amination in the five essential sub jects and received passing grades the state examining board will accept the remaining passing grades as shown by the certificate held making them state grades for the first certificate under the new law Provided First That teachers engaged in edu cational work whether

and except as governed by Rule 10 upon the re quest of the county superintendent of the county in which such person applies for a certificate This pro vision shall continue in full force and effect to and including the reg ular examination in August 1907 Provided Second All teachers who attend a summer school approv ed by the state superintendent at least six weeks will be required to take

Those who have never taught must take examination in nil branches require for the certificate desired provided that such persons who attend a summer school ap proved by the state superintendent at

with the county superintendents of Clay Fillmore Nuckolls Saline and Thayer counties The -reasonableness of such a rule is self-evident SCHOOL ATTENDANCE State of Nebraska Department of Public Instruction Lincoln March 7 190G To County and City Superinten dents High School Principals and Teachers of Nebraska It seems necessary to give an ex position of our ruling relative to summer school attendance and cred its therefor as announced in our cir cular letter of January 30 and also to pass upon the minimum require ments for approved summer schools First All schools established by the state and all schools recognized as accredited institutions and author ized to grant teachers certificates under the law of the state are hereby approved summer schools Second No school will be approv ed with a less number in the faculty than five first class instructors whose minimum qualifications must be at least a first grade county certificate in force The term must be at least thirty days of actual school work No credit will be granted any teacher at any summer school on less than thirty days actual attendance No summer school will be approved on a less equipment than our best four year high schools No summer school will be approved that ddes not main tain -a model rural -school under the supervision of a first class instructor at least two weeks No school will be approved in any

application must set forth the names of the instructors their scholarship their experience and the time each is to devote to the work giving also the equipment and the buildings in which such summer school is to be held Where possible this department urges upon teachers to attend the longer term in the established schools rather than the shorter term at the temporary schools Time is an element in education It will be held by this department that all teachers who attend a summer term of ten weeks this year devot ing sixty days to actual school work have met the requirements of the law going into force September 1 1907 requiring twelve weeks as the minimum normal training for a first grade county certificate As stated in our amendment to rule 22 in our circular of January CO a teacher certificated under thf old law who attends a summer school approved by the state superin tendent at least six weeks nii have all of her old grades areepw d upon approval by the county super in tendent of the proper county and made state grades except in the fne essentials Upon such attendance the only examination required in Un live essentials will be in Reading and one other of the five essentials at her selection with the advice and consent of the county superintendent of the proper county Six weeks or more attendance at such school and creditable work done this summei in the other three of the five essen tials approved by the county super intendent will be taken in lieu of an examination in these three essentials It seems necessary to interpret what is meant by creditable work It is this A written review will be given in each of these three essentials based upon five questions selected from lists furnished this department by the various approved summer schools The grades obtained on this review and the class record of each teacher after beinc srraded and av eraged by the proper instructor of the various schools will be the grade granted to such teacher provided that such review papers must be for warded to this department for in spection and approval by our state ex amining committee This depart ment will reserve the right to raise lower or reject any grade obtained on such review for proper cause In Reading and the other of the five essentials the regular examination will be required It seems that some have a misun derstanding of our new rule No 24 announced in our circular letter of January 30 relative to those who have never taught In our circular letter of December S it was stated We believe the time is at hand when no certificate need be issued to anyone
