ONLY Q PER CENT MEN.

According to the latest counting OF
pedagogical noses, there are nine men
in every 100 teachers in Iowa. In the
respect Iowa seems TO be a little worse
than any of the other states. The fact
that teachers salaries are very low In
Iowa mas something to Go with the
case. but not everything. School boards
composed exclusively of men, seem
bent upon forcing out of the schools
the few men who still teach in Iowa.
The younger men either break into an
other profession or out of the state.
1t is conceded by the real teachers
among the women that 1t is really an
injury and a detriment to the schools
to cut out the male teachers, and thai
one of the great needs of Iowa schools
lis to have more men in the schools

But leaving this fact out of the ques-
ton there are other points to consid
err When the last federal census was
taken, there was some surprise be-
cause the population OF the state had
actually decreased. Iowa. the richest
state in the union, was losing popu-
lation. 1t was generally conceded,
however, that little attention was to
be given to this rather unpleasant
state Of affairs. as it was merely
temporary slip and the census of 1920
would again show a very handsome Tn
crease for the Hawkeye state. I'm
less something more is done than
simply taking il for granted that our
population will increase. the showing
in 1920 is going to be worse than that
CT 1910. Everybody Is willing that the
fair sex should have chance, but II
the male sex is to have no chance in
Iowa, then it is no wonder if the en-
igration from this state continues.

his wife packed his lureh early

he took his lunch from under his
arm and placed the package near
a steam pipe to keep IL warm I'M

the package attracted his atten-
ton. 1t bore pictures of holly
leaves and red berries. Opening
it, he found, much to his chagrin,
through observation-disclosures, he
had carried to work package
containing two pairs of socks and
a pair of suspenders.
A a short time later he was
called to the Telephone. His wife
was talking. "John," she said,

The program was distinctly class

The wonderful sweetness of her
voice and the entire ease with which
she sings made each number a gem.
Miss Putnam, accompanyist, won
hearty applause, in a couple of piano
numbers and responded to an encore.
Miss North sang two selections for
the children, both of which had to be
repeated. The first was from the
German-"The Clack Of the Wooden
Shoon." The second, "The Shadow
March, the words of which were from
