Des Moines, Nov. 25. (SpeciaD-T
problem of how to supply the
schools of Iowa with teachers who
are competent has already become
as important as the other problem
OF how to secure to the teachers
wages that will induce them to stay
in the profession a reasonable
length of time. The complaint is
general in the state that there are
not enough teachers available to
keep the many schools going.
County superintendent are inn
portuned to invite teachers from
other counties or other states to fill
out the quota. The fact is that the
inducements are so slight that the
teachers are always ready to get
out and engage in other labors more
remunerative. Miss Elsie Perry,
county superintendent of Howard
county, wrote the superintendent of
public instruction asking what her
rights and duties were in case
where there are not enough teach
ers in the county certifcated to
teach, and the demand is that she
issue certificates to persons known
to be incompetent in order that the
schools may be filled. The reply
of Superintendent Barrett applies
as we'll to all counties and is as fol-
| lows:
We think the statute does not i'm
| pose upon the county superintend-
ent the duty of providing the re-
| quired number of competent teach
ers. 1t is officially required of him
that he examine applicants at stat
ed times as to their Competency in
and ability to teach" statutory sub
Jects, and "it the examination is sat-
isfactory and the applicant is Of
good moral character" certificate
to that effect shall be issued. In
view of this plain provision of the
law, we think the county superin-
tendent should positively refuse to
license the Incompetence
Bee.
The above clipping is only one of
the many among our exchanges the
past week. During the past three
issues of the Journal two directors
have had to use its columns to pro-
cure teachers. From time to time
the Journal has called attention to
the small salaries paid to teachers
and the general cry the state over
may have tendency to help out
conditions by raising the wages.
The wages could be raised ten dol
lars per month very easily and then
the teachers would be under paid.
We hope to see this county become
one of the leaders in a reform for
higher wages which will make
higher sta dard of schools
throughout.

New York, Jan. l6-Against Wolf Mandel-
berg. the plaintiff in divorce suit, the
charge was made in the Supreme Court to-
day that he had gone to a hotel with his
wife, had registered in a friends name and
then had used this false registration to
prove his wife guilty of misconduct. Upon
the testimony of Anna Mandelberg. the
wife, and her witnesses. Judge Herrick set
aside decree Mandelberg had obtained
and exonerated the wife.
Mrs. Man6elberg was an expert worker
on passementerie when she married Mand-
elberg. They lived at Whitestone and had
three children. Mrs. Mandelherg said her
husband in June. 1899, told her times were
hard and proposed that she go to St. Louis,
where, he said. passementerie workers
were we'll paid and where he had a friend,
Isaac Rimso1. He proposed that both work
and save until they had sufficient money to
buy a home, when they would reunite. She
went away on June s.
Mandelberg then began divorce proceed
ings. He alleged his wife had gone to a
hotel in New York with Isaac Rimson on
June s. 1892 and had left the State with
him. He produced the register of the Sher-
man Hotel. upon which appeared the entry,
Ike Rimson and wife,
Judge Hooker said he would grant the
decree. but he never signed the formal or
der, and the paDers now are missing.
Mrs. Mandeiberg's lawyer says Mandel-
berg married again. his first wife being in
ignorance of the divorce suit. Her husband
had corresponGed with her regularly and
she produced in court letter he had writ

her to the Sherman House and had regis
