State Board of Education Changes Licensing of Teachers.

Some changes have recently been made by the State Board of Education in regard to the licensing of teachers. Hereafter high school teachers must take an examination in science of education in addition to those subjects that they teach. A license may also be issued for one, two or three years, according to the grades made, though they take only one subject. Heretofore a license was not issued for more than one year on fewer than five subjects. Hereafter it will not be considered that the examination for sixty months’ license is taken in two divisions, but any one securing a thir-ty-six months state license will be eligible to take the examination in the high school subjects necessary to entitle him to a sixty months’ license, provided both examinations are taken in the same calendar year.
