DohHson County Superintendent OF
Schools Makes Eloquent Bid for
# More Pay.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 19.--L NJ. Langen-
berg, county superintendent, OF john
son county, Is making a great bid to
the school directors for more pay for
fis teachers. In an open letter which
ne published. last night he has dis
Eussed the situation thoroughly and he
comes to the conclusion that while
johnson county Is one Of the richest
counties In the state, it Is nevertheless
paying it's teachers less than any other
county In the state.
These conditions" continues Mr..
Iangenberg, while they have given us
- good lot of teachers, have not given
Us the best that the county should have
The need OF higher salaried teachers
twas never more strongly felt than
Eow, when We must have Them to at
tract into our schools the boys that

He continued by stating that il the
county would produce men and wonl-
en- which would be a pride to the coun-
~ 1t must educate them, and that the
easiest way to do this is to do it in the
schools that the county has established.
He regrets that the most OF them after
1 they have passed a certain age find 1t
necessary to go to the higher schools.
Mr.. Landenberg does not wish to in
fimate that the schools of johnson
county are behind the schools OF any
other county In the state. He states
that the service is fully equal to that
of other counties. but he believes that
the time has come for an advance that
Johrson county should lead In his
letter he also gives the comparative
wages paid to teachers in the different
states in the union. BY this table he
proves that Iowa pays the teachers en-
Iloyed there less than any other state
! in the union. He finds that the high
est wage Is paid in Illinois, where
women are paid on an average or s55
FER month. In Iowa the average wage
10 only $40 per month. He believes
that the state and the county lcoses by
this, because 4 is not large enough
to induce the teachers to remain in thu
profession and that all Of their efforts
are to get out OF 1t. He recommends
that they should be raised at least 20
FER cent.
