AT the conference Of county super
AT the conference Of county super
intendertts, held in Des Moines, Super
8intendent RIGGS read an excerpt from q
letter by A. L. Brown, formerly of
Iowa, now in school work in Washing
ton, which gave a glimpse of the reason
for the alleged shortage of teachers in
Iowa. He said:
You may expect q shortage of
teachers in Iowa just as long as your
penurious school boards allow the west
to skim off the cream of the teaching
force In Iowa. In this city about one
half the number are from Iowa, and
we shall likely get more this year.
What is true here Is true all over the
state. over one-fourth of the teachers
in this county are from Iowa. This
proportion of your teachers are de-
sorting Iowa because Of the pay more
than anything else. An older state
can afford to pay good wages and in
sist on getting good teachers--but
they are so interested in raising hogs
that they forget their children. Thank
goodness. they don't raise. hogs out
here. The people have time to think
Of the children occasionally"
Superintendent Riggs reports that all
but nire of the county superintendent
attended the conferences held this
month. Two of these remained away
on account of sickness. Not one of the
newly elected superintendent failed
to attend the meetings. Nearly all the
superintendent are giving hearty CO.
operation in the work of adjusting
matters to the new laws and to work.

Governor Cummins will do some

this summer. While Vice President
Charles w Fairbanks is coming to
Iowa to address the Grant club and
Secretary William Taft is visiting Iowa
City to address the graduating class of
the state university, and Speaker Jo-
seph Cannon or Illinois is expected to
make an address or two at country
fairs, Iowa will contribute orators to
other states during the season. Among
them will be Governor Cummins. He
will make about thirty addresses in
eight or ten different states. He will
eisitN Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas. Colorado

probably Indiana and other states. The
addresses are to be made under the
auspices of the chautauquas i'm diff
