Indiana farm and rural school wage system outlined
Indiana has pursued better schools and wages with laws classifying schools into three divisions. To teach the third division a four year high school diploma or equivalent plus normal school training and a third grade certificate is required, with pay around 45 to 50 dollars monthly. After further normal school study and a second grade certificate, pay rises to about 60 dollars. Three years in normal school with a higher certificate yields about 71 dollars, but actual pay runs 74 to 75 dollars. Normal schools are state-board controlled, with ten board members also teaching, and thousands have received instruction. the system aims to place trained teachers in rural areas to attract youth back to their communities. A Ridgely tenant in Suan gasmon county plans a large new mule-raising building with extensive sheds and cribs, funded by Farm Manager F. W. Ladage, featuring a 60 by 64 foot main structure, 20 by 60 foot hay shed, 20-foot posts, side sheds, and high-walled cribs.
