This is a Register of Third-Grade Certificates which was used as a scrapbook. The Register was a ledger that hadn't been used for names of certificates. The newspaper clippings that had been clipped by the Pacific Northwest Press Clipping Bureau have been glued into the Register. The newspaper clippings begin with Aug. 10, 1912 when Mrs. Josephine C. Preston became a Republican candidate for the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The clippings continue to chronicle her public life up until about 1920.
