Investigation Are Part of
Prograni of Bureau of Edu
cational Research.
As part of the national movement
for the improvement of the schools
by stimulating local activity, the
Nebraska Bureau of Educational Re
eearch, under the direction of Dr.
Charles Fordyce of Teachers Col
lege, is conducting investigations in
the schools of Nebraska. The re
sults of the tests, which should be
given at least twice a year, prefer
ably early in the first semester and
near the close of the year, are being
published for the .information of the
public. Educational tests and meas
urements are being made in a large
number of schools, and much mate
rial is being collected which is of the
highest educational value. The test
ing program should be under the
direction of some member of the
teaching staff who has had training
in educational and mental measure
ments. The Nebraska bureau of
measurements will gladly offer aid
in this field and co-operate with the
public schools in giving directions
for scoring, tabulating and inter
preting the results of these tests.

Y. W. Members to Call
en New Girls Today
Sunday is calling day for all Y.

man may call on several of the new
girls in the same section of the city.
Girls have been working on the files
during the past week and few omis
sions are possible. In case of the
change of address or wrong ad
dresses being given a few freshmen
will be disappointed.
COACHES SHOW MORE
INTEREST IN WORK
Schulte Finds High School Of
ficials Keen for Athletic
Activity.
High school football officials are
more active and keener for their
work this year than they were last,
according to Coach "Indian" Schul
te who has just come back from a
two weeks' trip over the state. He
has conducted conferences of
coaches and officials in nine Ne
braska cities.
Weather conditions cut down
the meetings considerably, some of
the meetings being attended by as
few as four men. When the weather
was good, on the other hand, the
meetings were larger than those of
last year, some of them being at
tended by thirty-five officials and
coaches. The results of the confer
ences will be printed by the Univer
sity Extension service, in co-operation
with the athletic office.
An innovation this year will be
the weekly or bi-weekly news-letter
which will be sent out by the ath
letic office. This letter will con
tain new rulings, new rules and in
terpretations and other matters of
interest. The letters will be mailed
to all who attended the official's con
ferences, to all coaches, and to all
superintendents.
"Conferences looked good fine
results," stated Coach Schulte.
"The school people liked them
very much."
The best possible plan, according
to Coach Schulte, would be central
ized meetings, so that all the offi
cials could gather in one place. The
expenses is prohibitive", however, and
the next best plan is followed.
Coach Schulte acts as a liaison offi
cer between the various conferences.
The largest meetings were held at
Lincoln and Omaha. Other towns
where conferences were held were
at Norfolk, Columbus, Broken Bow,
North Platte, Scottsbluff, McCook
and Hastings.

INCOME RECEIVED
FROM FEES SMALL
Nebraska Students Pay Less
' Than Those in Seven Other
State Schools.
(University News Service)
The University of Nebraska re
ceives a smaller proportion of its in
come from fees paid by the students
than any of seven representative
state universities, according to a re
port on "Public Education Costs"
just published by the Chicago Asso
ciation of Commerce, the committee
on education of which conducted an
investigation into the financial sup
port of the universities of Califor
nia, Illinois, Minnesota, I Missouri,
Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all
of which maintain agricultural activ
ities and teacher-training work.
Students at Nebraska contribute
less than one-third of the percentage
of fees paid by those at Wisconsin,
and approximately one-half those at
Minnesota.
In short, this report shows that
higher education is appreciably less
expensivf to Nebraska students than
to those of other state institutions
on a comparable basis; and that Ne
braska received the lowest percent
age of revenue from students, an
average percentage from the public,
and the greatest percentage from its
own incidental business operations.
Of the total income derived from
public funds, Nebraska, with 70.71
per cent, strikes the medium percent
age of all those universities. Illinois
received 80.84 per cent of its upkeep
from the state, the highest relative
support recorded in 1920, the year
on which the figures are based.
In income from miscellaneous
sources Nebraska stood highest at
20.43 per cent, while Ohio stood
lowest at 9.27 per cent. This high
figure for Nebraska is accounted for
in two ways: First, the system of
bookkeeping required by Nebraska,
classes as university business many
items (for instance, the university
cafeteria) which at other universi
ties are not handled through the
state treasury and in some cases not
even by the university finance of
fice; and, second, the actual receipts
arising from good business manage
ment, from the handling of the uni
versity's agricultural activities so as
to produce revenue, and from other
sources are greater than many institutions.
