Such certificates shall be designated by the name of the branch and shall not be valid for any other department or branch. The board shall keep a complete register of all persons to whom certificates or diplomas are issued. [28 G. A., ch. 96, § 2; 23 G. A., ch. 22.] Notes: 1. Kinds. Under authority of this section, the board of examiners may issue special state certificates for any subject or group of subjects taught or maintained in the public schools.

2. For whom. The special state certificate is intended for teachers of special branches, as a recognition of professional skill, expert scholarship, and successful experience in teaching a particular subject.

3. Scholarship. While the candidate must possess complete and technical knowledge of the special branch for the teaching of which a certificate is desired, some general education and culture will be required, as a certificate cannot be granted on account of proficiency in one subject only.

4. Subjects. The holder of a special certificate will be authorized to teach the branch specified, in any public school in the state for a period of

five years. Section 2631. A special primary certificate authorizes the holder to teach in primary departments. Primary departments are held to include work in first, second and third grades.

Sec. 2630-c. Validation authorized.

A state certificate shall authorize the holder to teach in any public school in the state for five years thereafter, and a diploma shall confer such authority for life; but any certificate or diploma may be revoked by the board for sufficient cause, or such cause as would, if known at the time, have prevented issuance thereof, provided the holder of such certificate or diploma shall have due notice, and shall be allowed to be present and make his defense. For each certificate issued the applicant shall pay two dollars, and for each diploma five dollars, which may be required before the examination is commenced. All moneys obtained from this source shall be paid into the state treasury. [32 G. A., ch. 6, § 3; 19 G. A., ch. 167, §§ 5, 6.]

Notes: 1. Subjects for which valid. Holders of any valid license, not a special certificate, may teach any subject prescribed in the curriculum, whether the holder was examined in such subject. Attorney-general, report 1906, page 42. (For validity of special state certificates, see section 2630b.)

2. No exemption. The fact that a teacher holds a state certificate, or a state diploma, does not in any way exempt him from the same obligations imposed by the law upon other teachers. It is the duty of all teachers to attend the county normal institute and to support the county superintend ent in all measures calculated to improve the schools and to advance the interests of education in the county.

3.

Registration of certificates. All certificates and diplomas must be registered in each county in which the holder desires to teach. Section 2734-q.
