Kinzer was not given a certificate to t« ich in the county schools this year by County Superintendent H. G. °Ault- man because of alleged unethical acta on the part of the teacher, who . was charged with having distributed among his pupils last spring eighth grade Boxwcll examination papers obtained from another county.
