Who says that the Iowa school

There are approximately $1,000
teachers in Iowa and their average is
about % " years. These figures are
not exact to the fraction but are es-
Inmates made by employees in the de-
partment of public instruction in
Iowa. In rural counties the average
is about 81 years. The increase in
the average for the entire state is
due to the fact that in the larger
cities fthe state older teachers are
employed. Another interesting
fact 10 that Iowa has nearly twice
as many school teachers, in active
service, - any state In the union
with approximately the same popu-
liation.
