Rural Schools May Be Turned
Over to Untried Teachers.
Experienced Instructors Are
Seeking Positions in Cities.
RESULT OF SALARY DECREASE
Seventy-Three Kansas Counties
Want to Lower Wages.
Surplus of Trained Teachers in
Only Six Counties.

The district schools of Kansas are
to be turned over to a fresh crop OF
teacher nappers in September, ac-
cording to predictions made this week
by suberintendentS of eighty-three OF
the los counties in the state
THE experienced teachers in rural
school work already are seeking other
fields of endeavor or are bending
every effort toward landing jobs IN
town next year. declare the superin-
tendents. 1.-The rural schools next
year will see such an influx of new
and untried teachers as never before
occurred in the history of the state"
Due to Salary Decrease.
It is pointed out that the condition
is a result of the attitude of rural dis
trict school boards toward salaries
for teachers. Seventy-three Of the
eighty-three counties canvasSed show
an inclination on the part of district
school boards to reduce teachers
salaries next year as a matter of tax
reform-and this in spite of the fact
that rural teachers already are up in
arms against tho present low salaries
paid them. The reports show that
the average minimum salary of
teacher in a district school is $73.41
and the average maximum is $13495.
The teachers declare that almost any
kind of a clerical job in a town pays
as much as the minimum salary, and
that mediocre positions in the towns
mum.
In commenting on the possible
future of the rural schools in Kansas,
f. L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas
State Teachers association, merely
points to a long list of statements sent
him by county superintendents on the
probable results, of salary cuts, and
declares the consensus of opinion
among these officers is that all the
good. experienced teachers will quit
and leave the instruction of district
school pupils in the careless and inef-
ficient hands of new, untried and
most often poor teachers"
In a circular being sent out by the
Kansas State Teachers association
minimum tax levy of rural school dis
tricts in Kansas is 1866 mills, and the
maximum levy is 11.09 mills. Infcom-
parison with these figures Secretary
Pinet calls attention to the fact that
a survey recently completed shows
that the average first class city in
Kansas pays a tax levy of 1865 mills
while a third class city pays an aver
age of 11.77 mills. He also called at
tention to the fact that the reports
from the county superintendent show
that many rural school districts in
Kansas find it unnecessary to levy any
tax at all for school purposes this
year. In a few districts one minimum
tax levy pays all school expenses for
periods of two and sometimes three
years, he says.
Secretary Pinet also points out that
only six counties in Kansas report
surplus of trained and experienced
teachers. All the rest show that the
supply OF such educators is either
barely even or less than the demand.
