Scarcity OF Teachers.

the state teachers college. shows;
and the demand there is for them at
veriDus places. The special under
date of April 80 follows:
"WhO is going to teach the chill
dren of five years from now?
THAT is the question that is
causing CONSERVATION among the
educators OF Iowa and is not being

swarming here by the dozens to pro-
cure teachers from Iowa state teach
ers college students for their staffs
next year. They are swapping up
all available teachers as fast as they
can, are making search among the
alumni of the school for available
teachers, and even then are unable
to supply ali their wants. -
while the teachers situation in
Iowa is the most critical it has been
in years, this state is not alone in
facing a shortage OF teachers. Yes
terday's mail brought calls for teach
ers from teachers college from
Wyoming, New York. Massachusetts,
Kansas, Nebraska ana even from
Canada. Meantime school superln-
tendents of Iowa continue to call in

who are not empowered to sign. up
contracts on the spot usually lose
out-the next days visitor grabs
up the available pedagogs.
Attendance at teachers college,
as at all other chools. has decreas-
ed, and the graduates this year will
fall something below the 400 mark.
