Educational Growth i'm Kansas
i'm Last 20 Years.
Kept Step With Commercial
and Agricultural Advance.
Sc. 600. 900 TEACHERS WAGES
More Than 5000 School Build
ings I'm This State.
Population From 100000 to
$4,000 in 20 Years.

Educational work in Kansas in
twenty years has more than kept step
with the growth of agricultural ana
commercial Kansas, according to fig
ures compiled in the office of the
state superintendent of public in
struction. Since 1895, the annual
wages of the Kansas school teachers
have Increased from three to eight
million dollars and the value of school
property in the state has increased
100 per cent.
Regardless of the big increase in the
wages paid teachers in the Kansas
schools and the enormous growth in
school property valuations, there are
but 14O- more school buildings in the
state than when the 1895 record was
complied. in the twenty years
the wages paid to school teachers in
Kansas each year have increased
from S2,976,973 to $7,933,519. AS
further evidences of the Kansas spirit
as displayed in school work, the valua-
ton of school properties in the state
have jumped from ten million dollars
in 1895 to more than &c million dol
lars this year.
At present there are S,451 school
buildings in Kansas Most of these are
substantial structures with steadily
increasing attendance. In the rural
districts, many stone and brick build
ings have supplanted the little frame
structures of the early COS and dis
trict consolidation has resulted in the
erection of modern school structures
on the Kansas plains.
Increase in Wages.
In the 20 years covered by the state
report, the monthly wage paid to men
school teachers has increased from
S4O.54 to $S2.72, while wages to wo-
men teachers have increased from
$33.47 in 1895 to 5000 this year.
That is not all. In 1895 there were
9.213 men and IL ,90S women in teach
ers' profession in this state. Now the
number of men has dropped to 8,715,
while the 1915 report shows that the
number of women teachers has in
creased 70 1854.
The school term in Kansas has also
increased almost in proportion to the
increase in teachers salaries and
school property valuations. In 1895,
the average Kansas school term was
% weeks. Now it is thirty-three
weeks.
In 1895 the states school popula-
tion-children between the ages of
five and 81 years-was 392,662. This
year the school population is 503,011.
In 1895 the school attendance was
about IS per cent. Under the tFuancy
act, since enacted, The public schools
of the state now contain IS per cent
of the actual school population.
