OFFICERS SIDE gjrjp ynr; rjjjT Accept Banze's Suggestion And Leave Issue to Districts.

OPPOSE BUDGET BOARD Receive Warning From State Officials Against Drastic Reforms. Controversial subjects involviaj wage reductions and the employment of married women as teach-ers in the public schools were sidestepped by 150 scott county rural school officers at a meeting held late Thursday in the county building. The officers went -on record as opposed to the enactment of the county tax budget commission now pending before the general assembly. The meeting was steered around the shoals of wage slashing and married teachers by County Supt-Harry W. Banze with a suggestion that such matters be ironed out by the individual districts.

The superintendent said he had been advised that certain districts are contemplating reducing teachers' Salaries next year 10, 13 and 20 per cent. Theodore Gasseling, Chris Marti and D. J. Clapp were reelected members of the committee designated annually to call the meeting and arrange for the meeting place, speakers, etc. The officers devoted the greater part of the afternoon in listening to an address by R.

A. Griffin et the state superintendent's office, Des Moines. Mr. Griffin advised the officers of a number of a new school laws, some ot which have been enacted and others Bow pending before the assembly. Among the laws enacted by the assembly is one abolishing the office of school treasurer, and another reducing the tuition fees trom $12 to a month to $9.

The senate bill proposing a drastic 25 per cent reduction in tax levies would automatically force a large number of. rural schools in Iowa to close their doors, Mr. Griffin said. An amendment to the state law permitting school districts to continue schools where the daily average attendance was less than 10 prevented the closing of 2.0M schools in the state. Mr.

Griffin cautioned the officers to check their budgets care-fuly and make no expenditures until they know definitely the amount of their anticipated revenues. He also warned the school officers against drastic curtailmtnts In expenditures which would have -a tendency to deprive the child of today of the educational training necessary to fit him for the struggles of the future.

Feb. 21.

The sketches will be ready for submission to treasury and postoffice department officials for approval within three or four weeks, and work on detailed drawings can then begin, It was said at the drafting division today.
