YOUNG TEACHERS
GET POSITIONS
Ace Limit Has Been Lowered to Sew
enteen for This Year on
Account of Shortage Of
instructors.

The minimum age for teachers in
Iowa has been reduced to II years
for the remainder of this school year.
Action in reducing the age limit
was taken by the board Of education
of examiners yesterday to adjust the
serious shortage in teachers for rural
schools. p c. McClenanan, state
superintendent of instruction, said
yesterday that there are between foO
and 500 rural schools IN the state
standing empty because it is impos.
sible to secure teachers for them.
All graduates OF normal training
high schools who are entitled to
certificates, but are under the former
minimum age of Is years, may now
have their certificates upon applica-
ton. This will apply TO over 200
persons, relieving the shortage ap.
probably.
