IMPROVE IOWA SCHOOLS
State Teachers Association Heads
Movement to Better Public
Schools.
BETTER SCHOOLS COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATIONS INDORSED.
Committee of Prominent Men APP
islature for New System.

The educational council of the
Iowa State Teachers association was
in session last week. State Superln-
tendent Deyoe submitted the report
of the Iowa Better Schools commits
sion and it was accepted in it's entire
ty The recommendations for better
schools in system of government and
laws embraced twenty-three different
subjects. Many of these are very inn
portant and others while not so i'm
portant are necessary to complete a
better autonomy in government.
The state association voted to con-
tinue the Better Iowa Schools Com
mission another year. A special leg
islative committee was appointed con-
sisting of Hon. Warren Garst, Hon.
B. w. Newberry, Hon. Bernard Muir
ply, Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan, Hon.
John Hammill and Hon. A. Springer.
This committee will have in charge
the formulation of bills and will pre-
sent the cause of the Better Iowa
Schools Commission to the coming
general assembly. Our readers should
read them with care. If they should
be adopted they will revolutionize
the present school system. Many adj
vantageous changes are suggested
changes that will bring the schools
closer to the people. Give them your
attention. They are as follows:
1. Voluntary consolidation OF
schools for a minimum area of six
teen sections. State aid to consolidat-
ed schools for a period of years; the
amount of said aid shall depend on
the number of departments, grade OF
teachers employed, course of study,
kind of building, and equipment.
Some suggested plans for raising the
funds to be apportioned to schools
are a small graduated direct tax on
inheritance exceeding $4,000, mil
lage tax, etc.
The plan recently enacted by the
state of Minnesota, known as the
Holmberg Law, encouraged the orga-
nization of fifty consolidated districts
