The land business is about as lively
in Hand County-perhaps more so,
than IL has been since the early eigh-
ties when every man and woman want
ed a farm. There is a genuine boom
on for our cheap lands, because they
are a snap" II begins to look o
that only another year or SO will be
necessary to see land go to $40 per
acre.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
Salary Question

There has been much said the past
month as to what salaries ought to be
paid teachers for the coming year.
The question of what teachers ought
to get will without a question be put
aside as 1t always has been done in the
past. 1t is done in every other lire of
business and naturally the public can
not be educated to do differently with
teachers. The farmer is not able to
able to sell them for. He has to sell
them for what he can get for them.
The same thing holds with teachers.
You will have to pay them what you
can get them for.
The shortage of teachers came upon
us some four or five year ago. Since
that time the Normal Schools have
had fewer teachers rather than more.
This present year there are one-fourth
less teachers in the Normal Schools
than there we're in 1916 and we have
the largest enrolment since that time.
There are less than n hundred
people graduating from the Normal
Schools from the State Of South Da-
kota this year This one hundred
won't begin to take the place OF the
number of teachers that will leave
the profession in South Dakota this
year. Any school system that wants
to keep good teachers and be sure of
good schools hesitates in hiring teach
ers that are not Normal School gradu-
ates. If the best young people are
going to be attracted into the teaching
profession present salaries will have
to be kept. If they are not kept the
normal schools will remain to be slim
in numbers and demand and supply
will keep salaries just the same for
the coming years with poorer teach
ers. Well qualified teachers are scarce
this year as in the past two years.
There will undoubtedly be a greater
supply of poorer teachers but who
wants them.
IL might be interesting to look over
the tax levies in other districts in the
state. MI. Rawlins of Pierre sent out
missionaries to representative cites
of the state inquiring whether there
would be an increase in teachers sal
aries for 1922, or no change or de-
crease. The following is a summary
of the replies.
Number of questionaires sent out %
Number of schools replying -------19
Number intending to increase ------OS
Number contemplating nc change 8
Number expecting a decrease------
The following shows the school tax
levy in mills for 1920 Of twenty-five
representative cities of the state.
These figures were from the State Tax
| Commissions records.
