Where it appeared that, prior to the Act of May 29, 1931, P. L. 210, the appellant had been appointed supervising principal of the public schools of a borough; that, after the enactment of the Act of 1931, the Department of Public Instruction issued to her a supervising principal certificate, reciting that she was certified as being legally qualified to act as supervising principal in any public school district of the third or fourth class which has no district superintendent, because she then met the requirements designated by the State Council of Education; that when appellant had first assumed her duties as supervising principal the district had only an elementary grade school but that subsequently a high school was established; and that appellant had continued to act as supervising principal for many years after the high school had been established until she was dismissed by the school board and appointed principal of elementary grades; and that the State Council of Education had not designated the standards required for supervising principals in districts in which secondary schools had been established; it was Held that the certificate which appellant held qualified her to act as supervising principal in the borough school district.
