LIFE TEACHING LICENSE ISSUE AGAIN AGITATED

State Association Will Indicate Atti* tude Toward Idea of Extending Perpetual Permit Privilege. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 28.—Many subjects of vital interest to the school teachers of Indiana are to be given serious consideration by the Indiana State Teachers' Association which will open its 62nd annual convention at the state fair grounds today. Probably the most far-reaching subject with which the*teachers will deal will be the resolution concerning the question of life licenses for those instructors who have taught successfully for two years. The resolution to come before the teachers this year is a reaffirmation of a similar resolution which was up last year and which favors giving the state board of education the right to grant licenses to those teachers who have been graduated from any standard college having a four-year course. Under the present system only graduates of the Indiana State Normal are entitled to life licenses, but the resolution which will come before the association at this time seeks to have enacted a statute extending that privilege to the garduates of other Indiana educational institutions.
