An important meeting of the State Board of Education was held on January 17 and 18, 1902, at the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in the Capitol, Sacramento.

Among the matters of business transacted were in substance the following:

Permission was granted to Y. Yonemura, a Japanese, to publish the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Readers of the State series in English with translation and pronunciation underneath and above each line in the Japanese language and characters.

On the question of adoption of the rule permitting County Boards of Education to hold examinations for the promotion of pupils, it was voted that inasmuch as only about half the County Boards had replied to the circular sent out September 30, 1901, asking their views on the matter, the Secretary again communicate with and obtain from the Boards that had not replied their opinion of the proposed rule, and that the matter be therefore postponed until such replies had been received.

At the request of Prof. W. H. V. Raymond and others the Board appointed a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Black, Burk, and Van Liew, to recommend to County Boards an outline in English and American literature and composition for their consideration, as provided in section 1772 of the Political Code relating to granting grammar school certificates on examination.

In accordance with sub. 1 (b) section 1775 of the Political Code, the State Board designated the following Normal Schools of other States as of equal rank with the California State Normal Schools, and graduates of the same, holding the highest grade diplomas, when recommended by the faculty of the school from which they graduated, may be granted the grammar school certificate by County or City and County Boards of Education, without examination:

NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Arizona State Normal School, Tempe, Ariz.
Peabody Normal College, Nashville, Tenn.
State Normal Schools of Massachusetts, at Hyannis State Normal School, Castine, Me.
and North Adams.

Louisiana State Normal School, Natchitoches, La.
State Normal School, Plattsburgh, N. Y.

And under the provisions of the same section the following State documents of other States were designated as representing scholarship and experience equivalent to the requirements for the grammar school life diploma of California, and holders of the same may obtain from County or City and County Boards of Education, without examination, the grammar school certificate:

STATE DOCUMENTS.

months' experience.

Washington-Life Diploma.

In accordance with the provisions of sub. 1 (c) section 1775, the following Kindergarten Training Schools were accredited, and graduates of the same, upon complying with the rule given below, may be granted the kindergarten-primary certificate by a County or City and County Board of

Education.

KINDERGARTEN TRAINING SCHOOLS.

Chicago Free Kindergarten Association, Chicago, Ill.

California Kindergarten Free Normal Training School, Silver Street, San Francisco.

A graduate of an accredited Kindergarten Training School shall, in making application to a County, or City and County Board of Education for a certificate, be required to present with his Kindergarten diploma a recommendation from the faculty of such Kindergarten Training School.

The committee appointed at the last meeting of the Board to define Pedagogy submitted the following, which was adopted:

It is the opinion of the State Board of Education of California that a great many of the courses in Pedagogy offered at the various Universities of this country, have little or nothing to do with the direct preparation of teachers for secondary schools, dealing rather with highly specialized problems, in which the lecturer or professor is personally interested. While it is, of course, a part of the University's function to offer such courses, and to introduce others to related lines of research through them, they can not be regarded as always fundamental in the training of secondary teachers. This Board, therefore, desires to express its further belief that the professional training for the secondary teacher should cover at least twelve units, and approximate the following quality of subject-matter:

(a) Enough of the History of Education to reveal its most essential principles, movements, and problems, which have projected strong tendencies into present educational practice, and for the understanding of which, historical study is essential. This course should lay emphasis upon those problems, the development of which has materially effected secondary education.

(6) Genetic and Physiological Psychology, with special reference to the problems of growth and hygiene, particularly during the period of adolescence.

(c) Theory and Art of Teaching, especially in secondary schools, including some critical study of the curricula of secondary education, and the pedagogy of the subjects in which the student has specialized. As long as the diploma of the secondary teacher confers also the right to teach in elementary schools, this line of work should also include a study of elementary methods and curricula.

(d) Sufficient teaching in a Secondary Training School, in those branches especially which represent the student's line of specialization, adequately to demonstrate his teaching ability.

State life diplomas and documents were granted to the following applicants:
