Increased pay for the school tea

McClenahan, state superintendent Of
public instruction.
A few years ago, according to
statistics gathered by the. state sup
erintendent, one-third of the teachers
employed each year were without
experience in teaching. Last year
only 3,343 persons were employed
as teachers in the schools of the
state who were without previous eX-
perience out of a total of 25,432
teachers, he declares, a percentage
considerably lower than One-thild.
The increased salaries now being
paid in Iowa to school teachers also
work for efficiency in that they have

LITERACY MARK
Of All the States in the Union Iowa
is Most Fortunate in Regard to
Amount of llliteracy.
I0WA'S POSITION WON
BY HARD WORK
Of the 20,6S0 Illiterates Now in
State, 1914 of These Are
Over 81 Years Old.

Iowa, of all the states in the
union, is the most fortunate in re-
gard to the amount of illiteracy
within its borders, according to
state superintendent of public in
struction, P. E. McClenahan, in a
statement made in connection with
the observance Of American Educa-
ton week,
Iowa's position, no. ever, as the
state which has the least litter
acy, has not been won without hard
work on the part of its teachers
and educators.
In 1910 Iowa had population of
152,869 less children over 10 years
old than in 1920 and had 9,209 more
illiterates than today" Mr. McClen-
ahap states. "At that time our
percentage of illiteracy was II.
Since that time the public schools
have reduced illiteracy by six-tenths
Of ! per cent in ten, giving the state
an illiteracy percentage at the pre-
sent time Of IL.
"Of the 20,6S0 illiterates now in
the state, l9,444 of these are over
81 years old, and there is a possibi-
lity Of the schools reaching only
,236 of this total number. Many
of these are mentally deficient and
cannot be taught to read and write.
If from the 20,680 illiterates is sub
tracted and the number beyond
school age and the number of men,
tai delinquents this leaves an almost
perfect record for the public schools,
the superintendent declares.
Illiteracy is about equally divided
between rural and urban population,
survey of the state shows. There
are 10,097 illiterates in the cities
and 1883 in the country communi-
ties, figures reveal. According to the
census, any town under $500 Is
classified as rural population.
"Citizens of Iowa should know
the fact concerning illiteracy in
the state since the Importance of
this problem as far as Iowa is con-
cerned has been grossly Over-esti-
mated by ignorant or poorly inform
ed people who are looking for some
sensational criticism of Iowa." Mr..
McClenahan declares.

THAT GAS TAX

The Webster City Freeman-JOur-
nal, speaking of the proposed gas
ofine tax, says that at is time for
the people to rebel against increased
taxation" The Freeman-Journal
thinks if the gas tax is adopted other
taxes should be lowered sufficiently
to make up for the increase. We
fully agree. 1t has been our inn
preston that the gasoline tax was
offered as a substitute for the pre-
sent automobile tax If the idea back
of a gasoline tax is to impose an
additional bIrden on the taxpayers
then the proposition should be de-
feated. An automobile tax should
be spent on building and maintaining
roads. The present tax is unfair be-
cause it gives no consideration to-
the amount Of wear or tear done 10
the roads. 1t simply is a fiat tax
on the makes Of cars paid in full
whether one uses ones car a little
or a great deal. A a substitute for
the measure the gasoline tax appears
to US to be a fair measure. The
amount of gasoline one uses is "A
pretty good means of determining
how much one is using and wear
ing out the roads. There is, Of
course, the city problem. A GER
tain part of the proceeds from this
tax should go to the city to be spent
in repairing paving. To spend all on
the country roads wouldn't be fair,
as many motorists do practically all
their driving within the limits of a
city.

New Way Catching Rabbits

rabbits, which he discovered in con-

states that he was returning from

three boys, with a dog, an old shot
gun, piece of garden hose several
feet long, and nice bunch of rab
bits. Being interested in how they
got so many rabbits. Phil asked them
about it.
"Well,' said one of the boys. "We
find hole in which we think there
are rabbits. Then we stick the hose
down the hole as far as we can ana
bark in it. The rabbit thinks there
is dog in the hole and he comes
out. Then we get the rabbit"
