Iowa Rural Schools Need Money.

II Iowa would spend more money
on its rural schools it would be vast

Riddel. who advanced his view In
discussion of the plan by the state
labor department to ask for special
school inspector. He declared the
school laws would need revision in
reference to the money allotted to 1u.
raj schools. If the value of all the
small schools in the state were lump
ed 1t would not anywhere nearly to-
tai the amount represented in the
agricultural college, the state uni
versity and the normal school. I'm
der the present school laws the fund
for rural school buildings is only
about $125 per pupil, Mr.. Riddel said.
He deplored the fact that the build.
ing of schoolhouses is left entirely to
the local community, and are usually
small and RECONSTRUCTED.
