heartily that the best investment would be

The appeal OF the Knoxville publishers that the
local Tag house, be turned over into an in
stitution for the development of worth while
teachers Is one that should meet the approval
of all who are interested in the furtherance of
good citizenship and the development of the
education situation. The Knoxville publishers

On adamant our wrongs we all engrave,
but write our benefits upon the wave-klng.
TEACHERS PAY, AND AN APPEAL.

News that the salaries of public school teach
ers are exempt from income tax viii not greatly
excite the profession a whole. small
proportion only of our teachers come within
the limit of taxation by their wage scale.
Those who do probably are well able to pay
taxes as are other salaried workers. But just
at this time the call by DIR. Claxton, federal
commissioner of education for general pol
icy of advance in pay for teachers throughout
the nation challenges attention. DR.. Claxton
urges the need of doubling the salaries of
teachers within the next five years and then OF
adding another fifty per cent. during the sue
ceeding ten years. He says the need arises from
the fact that the teaching profession Is being
deserted by its best men and women and that
its present recruits are Of inferior ability TO
that which it has commanded In the past and
to that which the national safety demands for
the future. Dr. Claxton belieVse that fifteen
hundred dollars per year is the proper mini
mum for school teachers. He says shat the
sort of teachers we must have should not be
asked to work for less and that those who
would be content to teach on minimum Of less
than one thousand dollars per year are III
worthy of employment.
1t is easy to imagine what moves DR. Czax-
ton to these rather startling statements. He
sees not only the well organized school svs-
TENS of our larger cities but the mass of IN
organized school systems Of some of our rural
districts. He sees not only our orderly train
ing of teachers through our schools and col
eges, but the thousands of rural schools taught
by illtrained young people or by young people
not trained at ALL He is unquestionabIy right
liz his view of the crying need for safety by
providing better teaching force for the
nation. No one questions the underpayinc of
teachers it is known stigma on our estimate
of the most vital work being done for our
national good War conditions have obtruded
the facts because at last the pay Of many
mum on which decent subsistence is possible
But two questions may pertinently be asked
of DIR. Claxton. Will a raised salary scale
assure the supply of the sort of material he
thinks it will? And if the raising Of salaries be
universal, viii not the same inequalities be-
tween city and rural schools continue to exist?
And will not the cities, as now, get the best
OF it, whereas the great need for betterment is
In the rural districts? Professions do not en-
list their best recruits by money allurment
alone; il they did, there are many professions
which would perish from among us in five
years We ought to pay good teachers as much
as just proportioning of public funds per-
mts. But it is questionable whether a whole

which would force the allies to take what they

there is in this report, it may serve as a warn

Iowa uses five Thousand teachers yearly who
have had previous teaching experience.
Two thousand OF these come directly from the
high schools. Iowa State Teachers college, in
1916, graduated six hundred and fory-four stu
dents of which only three hundred and eighty
five were for the elementary and rural schools.
If all Of these teach Iowa must secure about
two thousand, FIVE hundred teachers from some
other source while there are facilities in this
state for training less than one-half this num-
Der.
