EACH PUPIL COSTS s32
Iowa Expsnds $27,o16,t77 Per Year in
Educating Boys and Girls--Average
Attendance More Than Half Million
Pupils For tho Year.

Des Moines. Jan. 7.--Iowa paid out
last year for the education of it's boys
and girls an average of s3l.S6 for each
pupil, according to report completed
by Frank Joseph, assistant state SUI
perintendent of public instruction.
The total cost Of the school system
for the school year ending June 80,
1917, was $27016,l77. The number of
students enrolled ir public schools was
5O7,652.
The cost Of the educational system
Is apportoned among 5000 corpora
tions. There were 22,343 teachers.
According to the report the average
salary for teachers In the state was
1886 a month. The average salary
Of male teachers was 5000: female
teachers. $59.42. This was an advance
Of about 81 over the preceding year.
The Iowa school system required 49,
227 school buildings, the value being
estimated at $43,320,562. During last
year there were 2i3 new buildings
erected at the expense of nearly So. 0O0,-
900. Joseph reports that these build
ings are, for the most part, modern
and equipped for the latest methods
Of teaching.
OF the school buildings in use last
year in Iowa, Joseph reports 10,147 OF
them are equipped with flags. Joseph
has suggested that all districts in the
state display their patriotism by insist
ing that the flag be flown from every
school house In accordance with the
law.
OF the total enrolment Of 5O7.652
during the year 1917, the average at
tendance is given as 4OO.299, the aver
age non-attendance being 81 per cent.
or the loss Of one days time in the
week.
1t is estimated by the assistant state
superintendent that the loss to the
state through non attendance Is $5.673.-
1877.
Such tremendous losses are unbe-
lievable until we study the aggregate
in place of thinking Of the Individual
pupil only" said Assistant Superin-
tendent Joseph.
Schools have been in session for 178
days, or S.9 months of the year. Joseph
points out that the school system is
gradually coming to the point where all
Of the schools will continue for nine
months. He said that the school sys-
tenn should not be judged by the
amount Of money expended. The sue
cess of the system. he said. depends
upon the work Of the individual schools.
The average cost of pupils In the
state institution at Anamosa was
$264.22. The average cost for each in :
mate at Fort Madison was 1902. 5S;
Mitchellville. $272.s5; Eldora, $1,000.

reviled and abused some Of the Ablest
Judges that ever sat upon the bencn
in the state of Iowa. He has upon
different occasions. when judges IN
the performance Of their duties, dis
agreed with him as to his rights, or az
the rights asserted by him In behalf
of others, attempted to have them ar
rested and prosecuted. He has brought
suits for gross amounts against judges
who have faithfully and conscientious
~ performed their duty. He. haserecog-
nized no law save that of his own
making, and his conduct has been
source Of humiliation.
"The facts in this care are entire
ly consistent with the conduct Of his
entire career. He indicts, In his exag-
gerated egotism, some OF the most pa
triotic men in the nation; he attempts
to spread poison broadcast among the
boys called to the colors, and he has
the audacity to come into court and
assert that his aim was for his own
political advancement. NJ M
Lesson UnIearned.
"Blodgett has served time in the
penitentiary; he has had a lesson
which he would not heed. He has no
restraint upon his own will. He has
refused, by his conduct, to conform to
the rules and regulations of organized
society. He has no business at large
at least he should be under restraint
for such a period of time as will serve
to convince him that this nation can
not be compelled to submit to insult
and infamy.
He attempted upon the trial, to
assert mental ursoundness, and at the
same time, in the trial Of his, own case,
manifested an ability and shrewdness
seldom seen in the court room. II there
be mental weakness in this defendant
it is of nature that he should be re-
strained, and the only real restraint IS
Imprisonment in an institution where
he will have proper supervision and
care consistent with his condition, and
such as Is merlted by his attitude.
Maximum Not Given.
Technically. upon these three
charges, sustained by the verdict OF
the jury, 1 could commit him for a
period of sixty years, but I want the
defendant to feed that the nation does
not choose to exert its fun power, but
only to impose that period Of restraint
which feel the interests of society
demand.
