Carnegie Foundation.
PENSION SYSTEM OF CHICAGO UNI
Activities of various Institutions I'm
the Stste-BeIlevue Boys start
Trouble Educational


The pension roll Of the Carnegie Foun-
dation for the Advancement OF Teaching
carries the names OF SO persons, their
average annual payment being S.Si each.
Fifteen recipients OF pensions died dur
ing the year ending September %. lsil.
Thirty-one retiring allowances and seven
teen widows pensions were granted. Dis
bursements for the fiscal year were Ss@-
ooe. and the total TO date $l.7ts.coo,
These figures are taken from the sixth
annual report Of the president and the
treasurer Of the Carnegie fund. Mr.. Car
negle's original gift of siocoo.ooo in 1906
has grown TO s1212s.oco. the increase in
cluding 100000 received in 1911 as tho
first installment of Mr.. Carnegie's sd-
ditional gift of 10000 pledged in 1905.
The teachers of twenty-one universities.
colleges. and schools Of technology are
eligible to the fund. the University OF
Virginia having been added during the
year. The report says: mo grants have
been made under the rule permitting al
lowances to presidents and other admin
istrative officers after twenty-five years
Of service terminating before the age Of
60. The trustees rescinded 1t. and estsb-
lished a new rule under which the foun-
dation will continue TO a professor when
he reaches S. an allowance begun By his
own institution at the expiration OF
twenty-five years OF professional service
or thirty years as instructor or pro-
fessor."
The second part Of the report is a COM
prehensive survey OF educational prog
ress and tendencies and a criticism Of
widespread waste In the management OF
school finances. A great variation in
educational efficiency is noted. whereby
some states spend only one-eighth as
much as others. per capita, in education.
have only half as long school year. en-
roll only half proportion Of school chill
dren, and spend only one-fifth as much
in educating each teacher.
Among the signs OF educational prog
ress noted in the report are the decreas-
ing competition Of universities and col
leges with high schools, broadening OF
entrance requirements in universities
and marked Increase in the number and
size Of postgraduate schools. In profess
sional education there is an enormous
duplication Of facilities and consequent
financial waste. Efforts are being made
TO stop this waste, the foundation and
the engineering societies cooperating TO
bring about consolidation Of weak schools
by insisting on higher standards.
