Early plana regarding the pro posed feature include the serving of supper to all guests at about 10:30 or 11 p. m. after the floor show.

W. Scott, associate professor of school administration at the Uni versity of Nebraska, as the prin cipal reason for the troublesome teacher turnover problem in Ne braska. Scott's study, which was re cently published in "School and So ciety," presents data from 87 Ne braska six year, four year and senior public high schools in which the rate of turnover for 1937-38 was above the average for such schools. The information returned in the questionnaires shows that 57.5 percent of all teachers in the co-operating schools who changed positions withdrew for salary rea sons alone. Peru educator assists. Working with Calvin H. Reed of Peru state teachers college, the university educator found that of the teachers who withdrew for strictly salary reasons, approxi mately a percent resigned after re-election to accept better paying positions: 11.5 nercent accented better paying positions before election time and 15.6 percent re sisted either before or after elec tion to seek better paying posi tions in public education or in other fields. "The Percentage of turnover due to reasons of salary was highest lor teacners in schools with an average daily attendance of less than 50." Dr. Scott writes. "Fail ure of re-election was decidedly more common in small schools than in large ones. Re-election of teachers at an increase in salary was much more common among tne larger schools than among the smaller ones. This distinction does not hold, however, when salaries paid new teachers employed to fill U.S.C. receives new floating lab Exploration cruiser studies marine science LOS ANGELES. Calif. (I. P.I Presentation of an exDloration cruiser, floating laboratory for a numDer oi racuic cruises in the advancement of marine science, has just been made to the Univer sity of Southern California. Regarded as the finest vessel afloat for scientific exploration and field research, the cruiser has especially designed laboratories and equipment During the past eight years annual voyages throughout the eastern Pacific ocean have accommodated leading scientists from outstanding educa tional institutions. Embodying a new departure in educational endeavor by a major university, the vessel will continue her exploration work and also Serve lor instructional purposes in nautical subjects. Hoffman Cancelled Ex-Governor Hoffman of Nev7 Jersey, sched uled to speak at the Union today, will not make his appearance. turnover positions are considered. Small schools evidenced a slightly greater tendency to pay new teachers higher salaries than were paid for the same positions in 1936-37 and a definitely greater tendency to pay them the same salaries given their predecessors." Altho a majority of the teach ers in the co-operating schools who changed positions did so ro secure better salaries, the net ef fect of teacher turnover upon the salary expenditures of the schools was a reduction for 1937-38. This is probably accounted for by the "progression of teachers from small schools to large ones and the fact that beginning teachers are willing to start at a minimum salaries." No solution for the turnover problem is indicated in the study but the conclusion is reached "that the most fertile approach would be improvement of salary conditions in the state."
