The People’s Voice (Contributed! THE INDIANA SCHOOL SURVEY (From Educational Issues) NOTE —This is a continuation of the articles appearing fn these columns' yesterday. The resolution referred to is the one passed by the General Assembly of Indiana in 1921, providing for an educational survey in the state. The same resolution stipulated that tlie Commission should make and file with the governor a reort of its findings and recommendations “which report shall be published for general distribution throughout the state not later than April 1, 1922.” The exenses incurred in carrying out the work of the survey were to be paid by the governor out ot funds placed at his disposal for emergency ■ and contingent purposes. On May 13, 1921, Governor McCray appointed an Education Survey Commission composed of the following: J. A. VanOsdol, lawyer, Anderson: Byron Somers, President of the Board of Education of Fort Wayne; Miss Carolyn Shoemaker, Dean of Women, Purdue University, Lafayette; William O. Schanlaub, County Superintendent 1 of Schools, Kentland; Charles M. Curry, Professor of Literature, Terre Haute. The Commission organized May 17, 1821, by electing Mr. Curry to serve as chairman. It was soon apparent that the amount of money available from the governor’s contigent fund • ($15,000) was inadequate to complete the task in a satisfactory way so the Commission sought the co-operation of the General Education Board of New York City. The. value of the contribution of the General Education Board exceeds $35,000. Soon after beginning the work it was seen that the time allowed would be wholly inadequate. Since the general Education board was furnishing the entire staff for the survey and was contributing such a large part of the money the Commission decided to take as long as was needed to complete the task in a creditable way an<f furnished only a rejiminary reort of the progress made on April first. v Severe criticism has been given the Commission for the tardiness of the report. Individuals who have been in close touch with its work say that the task could not have been completed at an earlier date. All must realize that it was necessary to harmonize the views of those composing the Commission and the members of the staff of the General Education Board. It is really unfortunate that there could not have been greater time and opportunity for widespread discussion of {the findings.

Field Goals Lwre'.-*--*-' ■ ---"-I Once more Ohio has been forced to bow to Indiana's basketball supremacy. The G. E. quintes handed the Rockford Independents a 31. to 27 defeat at Athletic HAII last night. The first ten minutes of last night's contest between G. E. and Rockford was exceedingly slow, neither team being able to get started. Shirk was decidedly off form. The following item appeared in tine!: Will Play in Decatur Meet B|uffton, Ind., Jan. 18. —Disregarding the fact that the Bluffton and Decatur high schools have severed relations, the local school will enter the basketball tournament, which is to be played in Decatur under the rules of the I. H. S. A. A. At least Bluffton will enter the tournament and trust to the luck that she is not scheduled to meet the Decatur team in any of the contests. While Bluffton had trouble in the last district contest at Decatur, the fault was not considered that of the Decatur school and there is no hesitancy about returning there this year. Glad to know you’re coming, Bluffton, and may you enjoy yourself immensely. As for playing us, no doubt, if you draw a game with Liberty Center or Monroe in the first round, you won’t be forced to meet us. Fans will have an opportunity to see how the Purple and Gold compare with teams from the central part of the state tomorrow night when the Noblesville five invade the city. Noblesville will play in the Lebanon sectional and they claim they have a good chance to go to the regional. Vincennes should chalk up another win tonight. The Alices play Central of Evansville.

The high school quintets in the Central and Southern part of the state are fearing South Bend this season and are ranking them up among the leaders. Several scribes are poking fun at the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne high quintets. The "city slickers” are having a hard time winning from their small-town opponents. Bluffton has expressed the opinion that Hie sectional tournament should have been awarded to Berne. Although we enjoy entertaining the teams and fans fn the section, we would like to see Berne get a tourney, also, if she could handle the crowd adequately. Evidently the Bluffton scribe has never seen the seating caacity of the Berne hall at a basket ball contest. William Worthman of Magley was a business visitor here today.
