TEACHERS' LICENSE
Mr. Smith of Jay's bill [S. 89] to amend Section 4,501 of the Revised Statutes of 1881, was read the third time.
Mr. SMITH explained that because there is some doubt about the term of schools, this bill is introduced by request, to prevent any litigation. There is no very great change in the bill. If the teacher's license expires during the term of school it shall not stop the school.
Mr. HENRY opposed the bill. A teacher unfit, whose license only run a week, might complete a term for which employed, though it run a year. If a teacher can not renew his license there is no need for his being allowed to complete the term.
The bill passed by yeas, 33; nays, 13.
