The Schools Of Iowa

- t"0 OI0IlCOI0IuX n6n0Tv
Of the State superintendent.
The total number of ungraded schools
in the State is 9,454, and the number of
graded is 405. Benton county has q
larger number of schools than any other
in the State. having 179 ungraded and
seven graded. The average number of
months in which schools are held in
this State is 49,. There are 1902
teachers in the State, of which number
$3.50 are males and 1922 are females.
The average monthly compensation
paid to males is S47.27; to females,
$500. The small compensation paid
to females in comparison with that of
males, is a matter that deserves the
careful consideration of the people.
The number of pupils in the State
between the ages of five years and
t%wenty-one years is 553,92O-2s4,7sl
males; 269.1S9 females. The entire
number enrolled, however, was only
39s.s25 and the total average ATTENDANCE
only 229.3l5. so that less than half of
the children in Iowa are taking advan-
tage of the educational system. The
average cost of tuition per each pupil
per month was 1927. The State con-
tains 10.9Os school houses, 1855 of which
are frame. 1861 brick, 2ei stone, and
106 log. The total value of these houses
is $9.375,s3S while the value of the
apparatus is $14O,s92 and value of libra.
ries $17,122.
For school houses there was paid dur.
ing the year $S91, 1885 for library ana
apparatus S35,545.1S: on bonds and in
terest, $S01. 925.0S. The balance of
money on hand at the close of the year.
in the school house fund was S4S5, &c.,
SO. In the contingent fund the total
amount of money received during the
year was 81, 9,2S8.16. The total amount
expended for rent, fuels, repairs, sala-
ries of officers was $9A,256.98.
In the teachers fund the total amount
on hand at the date Of the last report in
1875, was $S15,29O.SO. During the wear
there was received from district taxes
S2,124,46S.76; from semi-annual appor.
tionment $674,9sl.9s, and from other
sources $l0,723.64. The total amount
on hand and received was $422. 970,es.
OF this sum there was paid to teachers
$2,7S4 .099.5S, leaving q balance on hand
of @1.437,s71.1O.
From this it will be seen that the
schools of Iowa cost during the year
$4.S56,776.16, while there now remains
in the several treasures S2,25s,507.eS.
There were 1851 certificates to teach
issued in the State. while 5000 applicants
were rejected.
