GOVERNOR ISN’T PAID THIS ICR Educator, Making Survey, Gets Monthly Salary of .SI,OOO. INSPECTS INSTITUTIONS But Exact Purpose Is Somewhat of a Mystery. Dr. Floyd W. Reeves of the University of Kentucky, conducting Indiana's latest educational survey, is. the highest paid person on State’s pay roll, according to pay vouchers in the office of State Auditor L. S. Bowman. Paid SI,OOO a month. Dr. Reeves’ salary exceeds that of the Governor by s>33 a month. Purpose of the survey is somewhat shrouded in secrecy. Investigates Colleges Reeves’ duties, appears to consist of an inquiry into the efficiency of educational methods at the State’s four institutions of higher learning, Indiana and Purdue Universities and the two State normal schools. In connection with the work, Dr. Reeves has made trips to Chicago and Lexington, Ky., receipts filed with the State auditor show. “The purpose of this survey Is primarily to find out the needs of the lespeetlve State institutions,” Dr. Reeves said. However, he refused to disclose any of the results of the investigation to date. Reeves was named some time ago by Governor Jackson as one of a commission of five educators from other States. Other Members The other members have spent nine days in visiting State Institutions, Reeves said. They tvill be paid for the time they spend on the inquiry, Reeves said. His task will keep him at work until December, ho said. Other members of the commission are Dr. Charles H. Judd, director school of education University of Chicago; Dr. George Works, professor ofVducation at Cornell; John A. H. Keith, principal of a normal school at Indiana, I’a., .and president of Frank McVey, University of Kentucky. An inquiry of Dr. Henry Noble Sherwood, State superintendent of public instruction, as to the purposes of the survey brought this reply, “I know nothing whatsoever about it.” From Emergency Fund Jackson is paying for the work out of his emergency and contingent fund. A voucher issued by Jackson’s office on Aug 21 shows the payment of SI,OOO to Mr. Reeves for the preceding month’s salary and $142.65 to cover such incidental expenses as stenographic help, mimeographing and supplies. Some months ago the rural education problem In Indiana was surveyed by a committee of fourteen prominent Hoosiers appointed by Governor Jackson. No expense was incurred, owing to the willingness of the committee members to serve free of charge. Approximately six months were occupied in this task. The previous educational surve.,, which resulted In the present county demonstration system, was accomplished with but little expense. In each of these several prominent residents of the State, ranging from successful farmers to leading business men, participated in the work.
