Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventh Biennial Report of the Iowa State Board of Education for the Biennial Period Ending June 30, 1922 The Iowa State Board of Education is required by law to make a report to the Governor and to each General Assembly. With all of the confusion and distress incident to the post-war period, it is significant to note that there has been no let-up in the matter of sending children to school in Iowa. At no time has Iowa lost sight of the fact that the only hope of the future of this commonwealth lies in the direction of adequate schooling for her children. Indeed, the average daily attendance in the public schools of the state has actually increased during this period of depression. There are more than 72,000 students now enrolled in the high schools of the state. Not only that, but the communities have increased, enormously, their investment in education. The actual increase in the cost of operating the common schools and the high schools of the state during the past two years has been approximately nineteen million dollars. Millions have also been spent for the erection of better and ever larger school buildings. While it is true that vast sums of money are being expended for more or less trivial things, yet it is a fact that, during this period of depression, communities of the state have been willing to tax themselves almost without limit for the purpose of providing better facilities for the education of their children. In Iowa communities, tax levies of 75 to 100 mills for school purposes are common, while some are as high as one hundred and twenty mills. This willingness to make every sacrifice for education, at this time, is strikingly revealed in the attitude of parents and students in the matter of college education. Apparently no sacrifice has been too great to keep the son or daughter in college. The college walls have been literally bursting in an attempt to meet this demand. The one great unifying demand in Iowa is the demand for education, overshadowing all differences of politics, religion or prosperity. This board reported to the Thirty-ninth General Assembly the fact that, during the preceding biennium, there had been a great increase in the demand for higher education in the institutions supported by the state; and certain additional appropriations were made. However, so much doubt was expressed as to whether or not this growth would continue, that little provision was made for buildings.
