PAY OF TEACHERS IN
CREAS|NC RAPIDLY '
P. E. McClenahan, State Inspector
of High Schools, Speaks Of
Great Growth.

"The public schools in the STATE
of Iowa have grown more during
the past year than ever before in
the history of the state
This statement was made by P. E
McClenahan, state inspector. of high
schools, while visiting the Univer-
sity of Iowa Saturday. There has
been marvellous growth in build
ings, while equipment in Libraries
and laboratories has increased al
most beyond the dreams of educa-
tors. a-... M
schools are better qualified than ev-
er before and as a result salaries are
the highest in the history of the
state" .HN rg3
Interesting comparisons were
made by Mr.. McClenahan to show
the development of the schools in
Iowa. In 1880 the average monthly
salary paid to men teachers was
S31.16, today it is SOIL. In 1880
the women teachers were paid
s26.2S on the average, today they
receive SASH. But with all this
advance in wages the number Of
men teaching in the public schools
has steadily decreased. In 1880
there were 1900 men teaching in
Iowa. while today but 2,S0O men
teach. S. So.
"Some idea of the advancement OF
educational conditions can be real
ized," said Mr.. McClenahan, "when
one considers that in 1850 there
were but 40 high schools in the
United States, whilettoday there are
over 500 real high schools in Iowa
and nearly every other state in the
Union has made ,pfbportional ad-
vancement
"The average teachers salary In
the state of Iowa is very low, yet
the state is spending more than $9,-
100000 annually in salaries alone
while the value of public school
buildings in the state is over $780,
100000. During the past year Iowa
has spent very large amount Of
money upon new buildings. ..
Mr.. McClenahan picked at ran
dom a dozen cities where the total
for improvement approxi-
mated s1,000,00O. Following are
the cities and the approximate cost
of new buildings-Boone, $125,000;
East Des Moines, 100000; North
Des Moines, $150,0O0; Abba, $6O.-
900; Manchester, $4,000; Fairfield,
$4,000; Victor, 100000: Spencer,
$4,000. Estherville, 100000; Elk
ader, $4,000; Orient, $4,000;
Webster City, $4,000.
