Changes in School Teaching Laws 1915 Legislature
The 1915 legislature enacted major revisions to school licensing and transfer rules. High school applicants must send manuscripts to the state superintendent for grading. Licenses must be recorded in the county office. Public exams are held on specified Saturdays, with character certificates required. Temporary teaching permits may be issued by county superintendents to meet needs until next general exam. Transfers now cost actual per capita expenses, with caps between similar corporations.
