Movement Will Be Started
To Bring About Uniform

A nationwide plan for collecting sta
tistics on educational topics, In which
every state and Territory in the Union
are concerned. Is to be carried into ef-
feet at once by the United States Bu-
reau of Education.
The details of the plan were outlined
today by United States Commissioner
Of Education P. P. Claxton, who has
just returned from trip to Tennessee
In connection with educational work.
AT present there are almost as many
different forms of tabulating informa-
ton as there are States" Mr.. Claxton
said. And the blanks sent out by tho
bureau here are probably different from
any of those OF the States. 1t Is to
make this tabulation uniform, as well
as to save about a years time in COM
piling the information and greatly re-
ducing the aggregate expense of gather
ing the figures that / want to put
cooperative plan into effect"
According to Mr.. Claxton his bureau
is now tabulating figures from reports
that cover the year ending June. 1870
Thus tire figures will be published
nearly eighteen months behind time.
superintendent of State education
boards will Immediately forward to the
bureau a copy of the report he makes,
and thus these figures can be collecte1
and disseminated more quickly and with
a saving.
The first steps toward effectlng this
move will be made next summer, when
the department of superintendent Of
the National Educational Association
coDvenes at Louisville, Ky. About two
days before the sessions of the conven-
ton Mr.. Claxton plans to call the super
ilItendcnts together to arrange upon

Another feature of this plan Is that
the figures of various States will be

system the varying methods affords
