with the solution of the difficulty in getting trained teachers In sufficient number for the common schools of the state The conference took up the Kling law and discussed its provisions which were explained by ent Barrett and the members oC the board of examiners dents Seerley and MacLean of Cedar Falls and Iowa City After a full dis- cussion or the measure a resolution was adopted asking the state board of examiners to arrange a course of study for secondary schools preparatory for a two years certificate to teach In the state It was further provided that all branches should be included in the posed course that are now included in the requirements for a two years and recommended that the course should also include a year's in- struction in didactics The board of examiners was also

having courses strong enough to enable persons therefrom to obtain state good for five years to adopt the proposed course of the board of educational examiners for the reason that under the law as modified at the last session ot the assembly graduates of any college or school even without experience in teaching may be ed five year state certificates on iBg an examination satisfactory w the state board or educational The fact that some of the stronger colleges of the state will not adopt the proposed course will not prevent it from being adopted by a large number of other institutions however Super- intendent Barrett said after the con- ference he believed it would be of much benefit He said tho whole tone of the conference was that the board of examiners should adopt thai would he calculated lo tho for teachers rather than to lower it The board of examiners will hold a meeting today to decide on a list of books for the school libraries nnd to transact other business It will not
