university ' Is It desirable and Is It wise
to place all the private and state uarnrt!
schools up in a par In this matter? Tho
granting of state cmllleaie to teachers
Is n matter of no slight importance to the
public school system of Nebraska. The
cflloloncy of the toaehers depends largo
)y on tho readiness and ease with which
applicants get eertllleates. The univer
sity graduates are certainly entitled to Hie
privileges of a state teachers' ccrtllionto,
if training and scholarship eount for any
