WOMEN TEACHERS
ARE IN MAJORITY
MORE LADIES EMPLOYED IN THE
ART OF TEACHING THAN
STRONGER SEX.
FAIR PEOAGOGUES IN LEAD
Men Deem Other Professions and
Occupations More Re-
muneratiVe.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O.-Rapid falling off in
the number Of men teachers in Ohio
and a proportionate increase in the
number of women teachers, is shown
in figures compiled by H. d. Swygert,
statistician for the 1915 report of
Frank w. Miller, state supervisor of
public instruction. The reason
ascribed for this is that the men deem
other professions and occupations
more remunerative.
The number of teachers employed in
1914-1915 was SO,556, as against 3O,35S
the year previous. The 1913 report
shows 29,191; 1912, 2S.459; 1911, 28,-
O23, and 1910, 27,S41 The new report
will show 1881 men teachers, as
against S,1S5 the year before and S,64C
in 1910. There we're 22,975 women
teachers in the state the last school
year, as against 22,173 the year pre-
vious, and 19,201 in 1910. The teach
ers employed in 1914-1915 were dis
tributed as follows: Cities-Elemen
tary, 10,624; high school, 1882; total
1886. Rural districts-Elementar

CONSTANT GAIN Is MADE
School Buildings in State Number
12,339-Figures Made Public.

Columbus, O.-How much is Ohio's
public school property worth in dol
lars and cents? Here is the answer:
101,241, ,108. Some princely amount
for state to spend for the education
of its school youth, is it not? These
figures are official. They cover the
year which ended August 81, 1915, and
were prepared by Prof. H. D. Swygert,
statistician in the state department OF
public instruction. 3R
Vast as this sum is, it does not siIl-
clude nearly all expended by the state
for education. 1t does not take in what
is paid in salaries to the army of 3d.
600 or more teachers who toll in
these schools, or what is paid out for
the establishment and maintenance Of
the states colleges, normal schools
and universities. Ohio in no wise has
been parsimonious in providing for
education.
OF the more than $100,000,000 in
vested in school buildings, lands and
equipment, S65,215,247 was spent in
cities, $17,7S1,27S in villages, and SIS,
244,583 in the rural districts. The
grand total shows a gain in expendi
lures over the year before of more
than S6,000000. indicating that during
the year just closed such sum was
spent for new schools and for new
improvements to old buildings.

The food in Scandinavia is so differ

She was polite and ate it, but as a re
