Schools Deserve Solons' Most Careful Deliberation
The 1947 Iowa Legislature will be asked by the Iowa State Education Association to appropriate 15 million dollars annually for state aid to public schools, up from 12 million last year. Since 1937 the association has pressed for reforms, seeking to build on the 1945 start when about 3.5 million of the 12 million requested was approved. Lawmakers returning will have two years of familiarity with the school code commission measures, plus additional context, and are urged to vote only after careful study to advance education in the state.
