President-elect Harding has no word of Christmas cheer for the officeseekers. Several thousand worthy souls desirous of sacrificing themselves for the good of the country, who expected to find large, rosy plums in their stockings Christina* morning, by way of notification that on and after March 4 next the nation could not do without them,
art doomed to disappointment.
[ Senator Harding has refused to 1 consider up to thl* time any of Uv complex problems of patronage. He has not even considered the higher diplomatic appointment* and »ay* that naturally, he will not begin that eonsiderstion until after be haa^H tatted a man to head the department of state. In a large sense the ambassadors and ministers are a part, and parcel of the state department, despite the fact that ambanimdorlaf rank carries with it the right and privilege of dealing with the President direct and speaking^ for him abroad. Ho Mr Harding will consult •freely with hi# secretary of state, when be name* one, as to the makeup ind complexion of the American
diplomatic corps.
' Will Shift Same Bardeas.
As to the general line of appointments, involving party patronage and affecting thousand* of office* of -varying degrae in the government, there I* every reason to believe Mr.
Is going fo adopt a method relieve him In large
the irksome taek of dealing direct with the army of would-be government workers. * Thee* many places, of course, far which Mr, Harding, as President, will have to take personal responsibility but when It comes to what might be called "run of the mine* appotntmsnts, such as .marshals anti postmasters, the new President, while standing a* official sponsor, plan* to plant responsibility for tb« good conduct and good service of these appointeea directly on the shoulders of ihe Republican party organisatldn For example. If a marshal ls_ to be

state, city and county. Will Retain Veto Right.
11 The new President always will retain the right to veto a recommendation. but h* expects few Incidents of
that sort, '
From present indication 1 * It would seam that Henator Harding Is going to eall on hi* unfafUng fHend and supporter. Marry M. Daugherty, of ('olumbus. to take up the perils ofthe patronage. \ ^ , Daugherty knows politics from Alpha to Omega. He knows the friends of Henator Harding.

Henator Harding ha* complete conlideime In his political Judgment and K looks Very much as If he will adopt the motto of "Let

! INCREASE IN CERTIFICATES
A report on the operations of the teachers’ training courses for the state teachers' training board by Oscar IT. Williams, supervisor of.the work done under the certification law of 1919, brings out some defects in the law which. Mr. Williams says, may be eliminated by amendments. Thn^ report suggests one amendment "extending the provisional certificate tb those graduating prior to 1919 and having completed less than fifty months’ teaching service*’: another. "making the law applicable to any college or commercial or correspondence school, as well as to any accredited school*’; one requiring a "reasonable fee to be paid by the person receiving the provisional certificate to the institution issuing same,** and a fourth amendment "authorising the holder of the special certificate to teach only in elementary schools." p Coa* true five Program. Acting ^nder the provisions of the law, says the report, "the board has been able to project and promote a constructive program of teacher j training in the state. Already the ‘ results are manifested in Increased j attendance on teachers* courses, par-* i ticularly in Summer sessions.;* Increases in the number of provi- , sional and life state certificates awarded for 1920 show the benefits of the new law, the report says. In 1919 provisional certificates awarded the standard colleges totaled 17, and the. life state certificates 55. while the * corresponding numbers for 1920 afie 140 and 119. For normal schools 10 provisional and 24 life state certicates represent totals for 1919. while 05 and 52 are the figures for the present year. Certificates granted to those wjio have done work at institutions outside the state also present a substantial iqprease. Chief Progress. The chief progress of sthe year, the "Yeport says, was the detu-mining of curriculum essentials and^the establishing of new stafRk.rds for accrediting the normal schools and colleges.
