It would not have been porsible that the public schools alone stould have been unaffected by all the factors which have caused unrest in this country. Taking everything into consideration on the upward trend. The teacher shortage this year is not auite so acute as in 1919-1920. It is largely confined to those counties were term of school in rural dis- tricts are very short and wages of teachers low. Sometimes these condi- tions are caused by the lack of a pro- Sressive spirit on the part of the People; sometimes districts provide only short terms, with poorly paid and Poorly qualified teachers, because the Population has increased at a much faster rate than the property valua- tion and it has not been possible to raise funds enough to maintain good schools, Teachers on the whole are better trained. This is shown by the activi- ties of the certification department through which each pérson coming to Wyoming to teach must secure a cer- tificate. More teachers have secured high grade certificates for the present term than in any previous year. The }State teachers” employment bureau maintained by the state departm: of educaion, also assists in raising the standard of teachers, for the bureau in placing teachers recommends onty those well qualified for the positions they seek. ‘the people of the state have responJ- ed gencrously to the need of increas- ed revenue for schools. The cost of education has of course advanced with the cost of everything else un- der the sun. In 1919, there were 99 school dis- tricts out of a total of396 that voted no special tax, In 1920 only 44 failed) to make the proper provisions for a greater revenue. In 1919, 68 school districts voted 5% mills or more spe- cial tax, One hundred and ten dis- tricts were willing and able to do so in 1920. : Besides levying the taxes necessary for running expenses, the school dis- tricts of the state have had to make provision during the past two years for the erection of 183 school bulld- ings. As building materials and labor were exceedingly high the cost of these buildings was almost prohibitive. In 1918, the estimated value of tho Public school buildings. was $3,486,248. eir value the close of the school year in 1920 was $5,442,782, an in- crease of almost $2,000,000 in two years. In many instances districts were already bonded to the limit ant it_became necessary to raise at least JUST RECEIVED @ large part of the cost of buildings through ‘current taxation. This ac- counts for the very high tax rate in many distvicts, Our school system is bound to grow for peuple constantly are coming in large numbers to the state’ The state derires a larger population because of he wealth that it brings. But peo- ple will nat come to make Wyoming their permanent home unless go2d school advantages are offered. Because very little more schoo! re- enue can be expected through, ur |Present system of taxation, those wao jhave studied school finance and who understand that as the state grow additional school funds will be need. ed, are urging that at least half of the money which will accrue to the state through the operation of the federal land leasing Iaw be: set aside for the support of the public schoo!s, The success of any school system is dependent upon two factors—efti cient school administration and ade- |quate financial support. According t> the Russell Sage foundation which has made an exhaustive study of th: |public school system of Wyoming, this state has gained in the-first nam- ed factor and has lost heavily. in tho second.’ We rank very high for in stance, in the per cent of children cf school age attending and for days attended by each child of school age. It has been stated above that school officials are . rontinually —choosiny teachers of higher qualifications. The administration of schools . is, then, growing more efficient for the chil dren are in school, they attend regu! arly and are taugh by teachers who, as a whole, are better prepared than formerly, On the other hand Wyoming ranks |35th among the states as to length term, showing plainly a lack of adc- quate financial support. Only the southern states show shorter terms. The short terms are found mainly in the rural districts. Many rural schools are in session only six months each year which means that a child at tending’ one of these schools for eight years has received only five and one- third years of training when measir- ed by the nine months’ standard tertn If at least one-half of the m to be expected from the land leasin;: law should be given for the support of education, Wyoming would, withia @ few years hold an enviable plave among the states of the union, sida ate DS ical i, In London today there are less than one-third as many evening newspa- Pers published as there were years ago.
