Students at Iowa State
Teachers College.

Many of the schools will open
either the first or second week of
September. We have in Winneshiek
County 154 schools, and the number
of persons between the ages of and
21, males 3,450, females, 1921, a
total of 6,741 of school age. The
number of teachers employed in
1928, &c males and 231 females,
a total of 257 teachers. The male
teachers in the city and districts were
paid an average of $64.20 per
month, females $5O.57. In the rural
districts the average salary per
month was $38.34. The Minimum
Teacher Wage will greatly increase
the average salary for his coming
school year With almost 1000 per-
sons of school age in our county,
there is an unlimited field for work.
No doubt the work in our schools
is much better at present than in the
past, but ! believe our schools are
not as good as they can be. l as
sumo that the schools of Winneshiek
County must help the boys and girls
into a competency that when they
become men and women they shall
be able to solve the questions OF
making desirable homes and social
positions for themselves, and make
exemplary citizens. In order that
this may, be brought about thru the
schools, there should be close COM
radeship between the teachers. pu-
pills and parents. Let the coming
school year have your very best sup
port.
