Unquestionably the census work has been better done by this new sys- tem than by the old. The census re- ports have been infinitely more valu- able. The foundation work has been more thorough and the compilation and analytical work has been more skillful and scientific. Originally the census taking every ten years was solely for the purpose of determining the basis of congressional representa- tion.

He not only claims “Claim everything, and claim it con- fidently,” was the adjuration of the founder of this achool. In e telegram to a couple of Mis- sourl democrats, Mr. Wilson spoke of “‘our renewed trlumphs,” and added, “these triumphs are undoubtedly at hand.” There Is another school. Its tone is cautious. The members, for fear of creating overconfidence, describe a situation as very hopeful, but requlr- ing hard work.

One great educational interest which Representative Fess has been advancing for years is the establish- ment here in Washington of a na- tional research institution, a national university superior to any other in the world.

That is why, sccording to Chairman Fess, the co! mittee on education has not put through its legislative program during the pres- ent session. * kxx Expectation is that the reorganiza- tion plan will soon be before Congress and that the department of education feature will be approved because Con- gress is composed of a very large per- But if the reorganization bill is de- ‘The committes on education, hav- ing favorably reported this measure in the last Congress, will doubtless give it favorable consideration when {t comes up again for action.
