DISCUSS SCHOOL PROBLEMS
Enperiotendenti from Southwest Iowa in
Cession at Oounoil Elnfia,
ATTENDANCE IS LESS THAN EXPECTED
Saeasl ta Afteraeea Vlaltlag the Cas
aellaated Raral School la bar.
rf Tewaehls More Ex
oected Today.
The attendance at the opening session
yesterday afternoon of the spring meeting
of county school superintendents of south
western Iowa waa not aa large as bad
been expected and Stale Superintendent
John F. Riggs waa somewhat disappointed.
the more especially as the lew provides tor
ths payment of county superintendents' ex
penses when attending these meetings. It
is hoped, however, that ths attendance to
day will be Increased.
The sessions are being held in the offloe
of County Superintendent O. J. McManua
In the court house. Much of ths time of
yesterday afternoon's scaslon was devoted
to the dlBcuaalon of the bill Introduced at
the recent session of the state legislature
providing for a new system tor the exami
nation of applicants for teachers' certifi
cates. Thla bill passed the senate but waa
defeated In the house, despite the tact
that It is endorsed by the county superin
tendents of the state. The discussion yes
terday showed that all present were heart
ily In favor of ths measure, and Stats
Superintendent Riggs volunteered the opln
on that the bill will be passed two years
from now.
"What Shall be Done With the Incompe
tent TeacheraT" was another subject dis
cussed and the meeting decided that the
matter wosld adjust Itself by the survival
of the fittest. During the discussion It de
veloped that frequently teachers who were
known to be Incompetent had to be em
ployed hi order to keep the country schools
open. One superintendent admitted that
he bad employed no lees than five teach
ers recently who were known to htm to be
inoompetent but hs had to take them or
go without and close the schools. The
meagre salary offered teachers In the rural
dlstrlota. It was conoeded, was the princi
pal reason why so many Incompetent teach
ers were employed.
"How May the Department of Public In
struction Render Batter - Service to the
Cause of Common School Education?" was
the third subject disouased yesterday aft
ernoon. The consensus of opinion was that
ttbe department of public instruction was
doing practically Its best and should con
tinue .the work of disseminating good lit
erature and giving lectures before farm
ers' Institutes.
This morning State Superintendent Riggs
win address ths meeting In support of ths
consolidation system st rural schools which
he favors and he pee to see carried out
through the entire atate in time.
At the close of yesterday's meeting tha
visitors drove out to Gamer township to
examine ths consolidated schools In that
dlstrtaa.- ' ' - '
Ths county superintendents In attend
ance yesterday were A. B. Lewie of
Adams county, Mattle Lee A. Lair of Fre
mont county, Mary E. Hostetler of Mar
shall county, W. M. Moore of Mills county,
Mabel G. Hw of Montgomery county.
C. J. McManus of Pottawattamie county,
H. S. Ash of Taylor county, Frank M. Ab
bott of Union county. Others present were
Btate Superintendent John F. Riggs. Mrs.
Eastman, of the state normal school at
Cedar Falls, and Principal Ensign of the
Council Bluffs high school.
