State of Iowa Needs More Instruc
tors,

County Superintendent J. A. AciL-
tosh is in receipt of a circular from the
state department Of public instruction
calliay attention to the action
OF shs state board 4 OF examiners
With reference to examinations for
teaehers's certificates. "For many
years" states the circular, "the amount
Of teaching required before noll-gradu-
ates Of normal schools or institutions
maintaining equivalent courses Of study
could be admitted to the examination
has been three years OF thirty-six weeks
each. BY the recent change the future
requirement for admission TO the exami-
nation for state certificates will be Two
years OF successful teaching experience
instead OF three. This change is made
in tho belief that our state should en-
courage in every possible Way our CON-
petent young men and young women to
enter the ranks of the profession.
THE greatest problem confronting
| the school situation in Iowa today is
how to get 1900 trained school teach
ers, said State Superintendent Barrett
/ in q recent address. He stated that
| there are 5000 teachers in the state
graduates Of the colleges and high
schools, 5000 who have attended such
schools and are not graduates, and 1000
who have never attended anything but
| the schools below the accredited high
schools. The morality OF the schools
rests largely in the hands OF the teac-
ers.
The need in the schools" Ea eontinR-
ed, lis greater emphasis oa the nDra]
teaching as con posea with training il
knowleage. This end is recognized by
tho National Educational association
In tho United States there were 1914
suicides for the decade 1890 to 1899
for eleven months Of 1901, 1856 homi
cides and for five years ending 1896
46,47S murders.

reasoned that the greatest Of all in

er and the trained teacher is the on
best qualified to give this influence.
