suggested that a primary be held on
the general election day for the pur-
pose of learning who the people of
Iowa favored as Delivers successor.
That it is impossible, under the law,
to hold such primary unless
vacancy shall have occurred on the
ticket at least thirty days prior to the
day of election was recognized, but
the democrats suggested special ses-
sion of the legislature be called to
amend the primary law. This was so
evidently impossible that little heed
was paid to the suggestion.
With election only two weeks away,
the republican party is presenting a
united front. From every part of the
state come reports similar to the one
published from Ottumwa, which says:

licans were barely speaking as they

the conditions. They move . :. the
first opportunity.
These are the main reasons for the
many changes as we have found them.
In most instances it is the teacher
who desires the change and not the
patrons and officers. AS remedies we
would suggest the following:
l. A general raise of teachers
wages to attract and hold desir-
able class of young people in the pro
fession.
2. Longer contracts, with provisos
which shall make them just as bind
ing on the teacher as on the district.
3. In every locality where possible
begin some form of consolidation
which shall in time eliminate the
great number of small schools and
many of the inferior teachers.
Were these remedies generally ard
generously applied over the state
many of the minor school troubles
would be eradicated and the et!ii-
cheney of Iowa's school system mark.

Des Moines, Oct. 25.-(SpeciaD
Despite the fact that the closing
weeks Of every campaign are the de-
cisive ones, republican nominees who
are aspiring to election on November
Sth, ignored their personal interests
last week and almost without eXcep-
ton cancelled every speaking engage
ment they had made. The action was
taken because of the death of United
States Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver,
and serves to show in what regard he
was held by all the people of Iowa.
Owing to the fact that the flow of
oratory was stemmed for week, it
is expected the speaking campaign
will be more strenuous than ever from
now until the day of election. Many
of the candidates will endeavor to
visit the places in which they had
planned to make addresses last week
by whirlwind trips and shorter ad-
dresses.
Governor Carroll this week is cam
paigning along the southern border Of
the state. On Wednesday afternoon
he appears at Centerville, the home
of Claude r. Porter, who is the dem
ocratic nominee for the place now
held by Gov. Carroll and to which he
is seeking reelection. Three days
following his appearance at the home
of his opponent, Gov. Carroll will
speak in his home town of Bloomfield.
His address will be Saturday night
and it is probable he will remain in
Bloomfield over Sunday. Gov. Car
roll is covering more territory than
any other republican nominee. Thru
the use of automobiles he is able to
make several towns day and meet
the people while enroute.
Among the other speakers who en-
ter upon speaking campaigns this
week are Attorney General H. w.
Byers, Lieutenant Governor George
w. Clarke, Former Governor Warren
Garst, Supreme Court Clerk B. W..
Garrett, George Cosson, w. S. Ken
yon, F.. F.. Faville, George Dobson, c..
G. Saunders and Robert Healy.
Everywhere there are indications
that the statewide organization per-
fected by the republicans for the cur
rent campaign is actively at work. AL
most every paper has some account
of republican county meeting held
and of the arrangements made for get
congressional nominees in their vari-
Gus districts are serving to stimulate
interest.
During the past week the demo-
Gratis. having nothing to lose. have en-
deavored to secure recognition from
the republicans by suggesting series
of joint debates between Gov. Carroll
and Mr.. Porter. The challen ge W S
answered with a statement that Mr..
Carrolls dates had been arranged for
the remainder of the campaign, but
that if Mr.. Porter would discuss the
planks in either the democratic or
republican platforms, Mr.. Carroll
would answer the arguments in his
speeches. Through the record Of these
speeches in the press everyone would
have the advantage Of learning the
views of both men.
Another play for republican atten-
ton was made when the democrats

Iowa Teachers Movers.

In checking up the list of Crawford
last year and comparing it with the
roll of those teaching this year we
find that there has been a change of
eighty-four in the personnel of our
teaching force. OF this number twen-
ty-two quit teaching. fOrty-tive mi
grated to other counties or states,
eleven were married, and six went
away to college to fit themselves for
other work or better school positions.
We require force of two hundred
and twenty-five teachers to fill the
school positions in the county. Here
then we have a change of practically
thirty-seven and half per cent in our
teaching force in one year. At this
rate of change We should have COM
plete new body of teachers in less
than every three years.
It is quite possible for the county
superintendent and school officers to
organize system which shall oper-
ate efficiently with such material
change in the vital elements. But the
change in the personnel of teachers is
not all for there were great many
changes in the positions of those re-
naming in the county. Just thirty one
of the one hundred and fifty-siX rural
teachers are teaching the same school
this fall that they taught year ago.
For various reasons under such cir
,cumstances really efficient schools
cannot be maintained at their best.
The interest of the school as an Or
ganization and the work of every pupil
must suffer greatly.
The object of this article is not SO
much to give the facts in this regard
as it is to create a discussion of the
matter and bring about change for
the better.
Because of large foreign element
in the population of Crawford county
the home supply of teachers is not
nearly enough to supply the demand,
hence many teachers from neighbOr
ing counties come in to teach for a
short time only. At. this time there
are fifty-twO teachers at work in our
schools whose homes are not in the
county Twenty-SiX of these are in
the rural schools. This is a remark
able number of nonresident teachers
and shows a condition which ought
not to exist This is all the more
noticeable when we compare II with
the custom in the German schools
where a teacher generally remains his
lifetime in the same position. The
teachers OF America are indeed NOV
ers, and the vital question is-why is
this so? There are number of rea-
sons for this, chief among which are
the following: l. The present general
scarcity of teachers make positions
comparatively easy to secure. Hence,
II everything does not go just as
smoothly and pleasantly as possible
teachers move on with the hope OF
finding more congenial places.
2. Teachers. patrons and pupils all
have the spirit of discontentment so
prevalent nowadays and are always
waiting and watching for something
new and better
8. Because of poor boarding places.
low wages, very small, uninterestins
schools there are many undesirable
positions which teachers accept as a
last resort or because Of not knowing
