One of my teachers was recently
called on one morning by an angry
mother, because the teacher had cor-
rected the mother's boy. The mother
said, the teacher could not teach much
longer, because she only held a ‘pro-

could not understand what she meant
by that, but after much inquiry, found
out that she meant a Temporary cer-
tificate or a provisional certificate.
The teacher said she had heard of all
kinds of certificates, but a ‘prohibi-
tional ’certificate was a new kind to
her.
