Institutions of the state that are tindor
the atate board of control. Two institu
tions, those at Council Bluffs and Mltch
ellvllle, have not fled their reports aa yt
with the state board and the amount
that they will ask Is, not known. Prob
ably a million and a quarter dollar will

from th atate treasury by thee Institu
tion when all th reports are In. A
number of the reports now In the hand
of the board make requests for additional
land and for buildings, the estimated coat
of which Is not given. The actual appro
priation asked for by the superintendents
In their biennial report thus far filed
amount to $1,0(7,000. The board of con
trol will likely cut down the request
very materially before submitting them
to the legislature, and the legislative ap
propriations committee will. If they fol
low the custom of the past, cut them
down some more. The most modest re
quest Is from Marahalltown and aaks for
120,060. The most extravagant Is from

September term of court, as they failed to
make the submission at the May term.

New Certification Law.
State Superintendent J, L. McBrlen has
Just superintended ths examination of
nearly 12,000 teachers for county certificate
under th new law. Speaking of the work'
inga of th law and th rules made by his
department, hs said: ' ,
in all of these rules, mad after takln
counsel with our co-workera. there la bu
dim limit placed upon the county super; n
tendent. except a provided in the law It'
alf. and that 1 th minimum grade below
which he cannot go In the certification of
hi teachers. Under th new law th
county superintendent Is ths suprems su
thorltv In th state. Neither this depart
ment, nor hla excellency the governor, nor
the supreme court Itself can force the
county superintendent to accept any grade
or Issue any certificate to any person hi
Judgment would not approve.
So far as the work of our committee Is
concerned, we have no apology to make to
anyone. We have had two specialists for
tha examination of the answer papers I
each of the five essentials. For example,
two examiners have graded the reading px
pera of all teachera. two examlnera havs
graded the arlthmetlo papers, two ths
grammar papera and so on. In addition
thereto, the president of the examlnini
board has reviewed every paper or every
teacher. Thla means that tlios who have
taken the examination In nothing mor than
the five essentials have had their papers
carefully examined by ten peraons and
carefully reviewea ny me president or the
committee. The consensus of opinion of
these eleven examiners is safer for - ths
teacher and th public than th opinion of
any on person. Our examining committee
1 absolutely nonpartisan and nonsectarlan
republicans, democrats, populists, prohi
bitionists. Catholic and Protestant bav
been represented thereon.
Nearly 110U0 teachera have taken the ex
amination for county certificate under th
new law alnca October L 1. Thla mean
an average of at least five subjects for each
teacher, a total of 80,000 answer papers,
with over SOO.OUO pages of manuscript to be
read. Each paper will average nine qu na
tion, which mean a total of 640,000 an
swers, which have been read and graded,
the marking recorded) and the result of
the examination reported to th county
superintendents.
Jehrasha Foot Ball Coaeh. '
Amos P. Foster, who Is ta coach th Ne
braska foot ball team, hss arrived In Lin
coln and ha viewed th ground and In
formed himself in regsrd to ths foot ball
aituatlon. Hs has been coach at the Uni
versity of Cincinnati for th lsst two year

He I highly recommended by hi old as.
socistes at Dartmouth university, of which
h Is a gradual and a former member of
th foot bail team. 11 uade a most pie-
Ing Imprcaslon on th friend of th game.
He Impressed all with hi physical and
scholastic qualities. He believes the ne
rule which have been somewhat severely
criticised will enliven th gam for players
on account of the fact that they have
forced the adoption of a new style of p ay.
He doea not know Just how the game lll
ba affected by th new rule because ex
perimental games are pot a fair text. He
ay the rule are Jual as new to tha
coaches as to the player or spectators. II
believe the, gam thl year will bo mor
than ever a battle between coaches.
