Delzell Explains
Examination Fees
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Deo, 29. Speolal.)-tate
Superintendent Delsell lias sent the fol
lowing letter to Auditor Barton In re
sponse to one written by the auditor
concerning the bills of Profs. Water
house, Bodwell and FlBher, as a board
of examiners for itfe teachers' certifi
cates and Inspection of normal schools:
Your letter of December M at hand. In
reply I will sttits that Superintendents
Itoriwell, Waterhotise and FlHher con
stitute the state board of examiners for
life certificates and have been receiving
their salaries ami expenses for the in
spection of the twelve private and de
nominational schools required by senate
file 267, laws of Jsxrr. Their inspection of
the state normal schools and the uni
versity hss been for the purpose of secur
ing a standard by which they oould in
spaot Intelligently the twelve private and
denominational schools. ...i.
By an action of the bosrd of education
of the state norms I sellouts on January
IS, 10ID, the following rule touching the
granting of certificates was adopted:
"That diplomas and certificates shall,
be granted to applicants upon the recom
mendation of the faculty and principals
of the respective schools and upon the
additional recommendation of the state
hoard of examiners for life certificates."
The reports made by this examining
board on these state normal schools as
a biMls for Inspecting the other scliools
Is used as a basis for the granting of
state certificates and diplomas by the
state normal schools. The diplomas be
come life certificates after the holders
have had the required amount of suc
cessful experience. This department uses
the above Information in regard to said
certificates and diplomas so that all gen
eral state and life certificates shall come
up to the same high standard.
You call attention In your letter to our
letterh.-Mdn and the education directory
wherein the tirm "board uf IriHpectors
for normal schools and colleges" i is tip
Allied to the committee consisting of
iipeHntendents Hodwell. Wsterhotise and
Fisher, and the term "board of examin
ers 'for" state certificates" Is applied to
the committee coimlntlmr of Superintend
ent Cavlness, Uettcher and Florer.
In explanation f the above I will slate
that the hoard of ItiapiTtnrs for normal
schools and colleges Is the board of ex
aminers for life certificates as contem
plated by the law, and tl.e bonnl of ex
aminers for state certificates has charge
of the city state certificates as provided
for by the leulnlature of 1911, find has
had nothing whatever to do as examiners
for general life certificates. Neither has
the latter hoard received any puy from
the appropriation of $J.0n0 for the salaries
and expense of the state board of ex
aminers for life certificate for Inspect
ing the private and denominational
schools.
