On Wednesday three of the schools
of West Donegal were placed in the
standard line, the Washington school
taught by Miss Mary Rutt; Union,
taught by Miss Esther Herr, and the
Rheems schools taught by the Misses
Elizabeth Greider and Anna Gish.
A number of other schools should
be in line for the honor next year,
Lancaster county should be in the
front rank in all things that are de-
sirable. The granting of a certificate
has a tendency to awaken local in-
terest and to stimulate the teachers
to effcient work. Only a progressive
teacher can meet the requirements.
