years experience and finds that they
like the work and want to stay with
lit, hear the call of better wage
in the city, or in the neighboring
state and leave the Iowa rural
school just when they begin to be of
real value to it. And who can blame
them? The crying need is for a
higher standard of preparation, long
er continuous service, and these will
adequate reward. 1t was these indis-
putable facts, facts that were sur
prise to me, that prompted the Teach
er's Minimum Wage Law for Iowa,
which does not yet place Iowa in the
class where it naturally belongs.
Continuity of service will bring
greater interest in and sympathy
with country life and surrounding
conditions, less teaching of the doc
trine of dissatisfaction with these
and the calling of the children of
the farm to the city with it's vortex
of temptations and failures that are
yelled from them by a glamour that
is as fascinating as it is false and
misleading to the average youth.
Counting Kansas, the seven states
Immediately surrounding Iowa, pay
80 per cent more for popular educa-
ton according to wealth than we do.
There is no getting away from these
statistics. I repeat it with emphasis,
the greatest problem in our state is
the one you are battling with, the ru-
raj school and how to bring it up to
the highest standard of efficiency and
practical results for the youth Of
Iowa with the conditions surround
ing these schools today I honor you
for the earnest effort you are MAX
ing to solve this problem in prac-
teal, helpful way in your county and
hope you may have the co-opera-
ton of every good citizen in advanc-
ing this work. 1t is one of the
noblest in the state. Cut off the
taxes wherever else they will, let
US not cut down the amount we ex-
pend for education until we are in
vesting at least as much in this line
as those around us, not all of whom
are fortunately surrounded in mater
ial blessings as we are. 1t is in fact
an investment, not an expenditure.
1t is an investment in good citizen
ship and all that is worth while in
great commonwealth. l congratu
late you and trust the interest mani
tested by your people in your rally
day will prove a great help to your
public schools.
Sincerely yours,
