Mr. Perdue's experience on the com mittee for life professional eertifl cates, of which he has been a member for the last three years, has con vinced him that the normal courses, both in the state schools and in the private and denominational schools, should be as definite in the quantity of work required as in the standard college course. There should, however be the same flexibility of choice as to subject matter as exists in the stand ard college courses. This result should be brought about gratfually, so as not to inconvenience seriously the students who have already enrolled in the ' various normal schools and normal departments of colleges. The course should be formulated by a united conference of the state super intendent, the committee for life pro fessional certificates, and represent atives of each of the schools offering the nomal courses. Entrance re quirements should be clearly defined, and equivalents so far as possible worked out, by this conference. ber of the bar for many years, and his appointment as deputy in "the first place was due to his acknowledged ability.
