Excerpt from A Handbook for Elementary Schools, 1932 The success of an elementary school is largely dependent on proper organization. The distribution of the work among the several teachers is a vital problem. This is properly the function of the superintendent working through the principal. It is important that teachers know at the time of election that grade placement is in the hands Of the principal. It is desirable that the pupil-load be distributed as equitably as possi ble. It is undesirable organization for some teachers to be overloaded while others have comparatively few pupils. It is Often necessary for teachers to have pupils from two different grades in order to equalize the pupil-load. The practice of teaching high school pupils in an elementary school usually results in poor high school work and deprives elementary children of services rightly belonging to them. It makes proper elementary in struction almost impossible, since it usually means that the time Of one teacher is taken up with high school work and the pupil-load in the elementary school is increased for the other teachers. Certification. Each type of certificate requires a minimum training peculiar to the certificate. To change a certificate from one field to another it is necessary to have credit for all of the work prescribed for the certificate to which one wishes to change. High School Teachers' Certificates are now issued in subjects. One is restricted to teaching in the high school the subject or subjects which appear on the certificate. These subject High School Certificates are not valid for teaching in the elementary grades. The blanket or general High School Teacher's Certificate issued prior to July 1, 1931, is valid for teaching any subject in the high school, except Vocational Home Economics and Agriculture. The certificate, also, per mits one to teach as low as the fourth grade in a standard elementary school, or in any grade of the elementary school if it is not standard. However, such practice is highly undesirable. To be issued a grade certificate, it would be necessary to meet the present requirements for the certificate desired.
