IMPORTANT UNDERTAKING

In steering clear of the maelstrom of
public school politics and factions and
selecting persons not actively engaged
in the state educational system for the
public school survey commission, Gov
ernor Cox is sure to obtain q disin.
terested report Of conditions In this
most important subject. A disinter.
ested report is always preferable to
one that is drawn up by one who has
investigated his own work.
The high ideals of the state execu-
tive in this matter was further reflect.
ed in the calibre of the appointees.
Representative Oliver J. Thatcher, Of
Wilmington, is a man Of scholary at.
tainments augmented by years of prac-
tical experience as a successful educat.
or In one of the cOuntry's greatest uni.
versities-that at Chicago. He is now
living In retirement on farm in Clin.
ton county. Miss Edith Campbell, an
instructor Of economics in the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, is thorough stu.
dent of all things that pertain to edu.
cation and she is said to be one of the
best equipped women in the country.
The administrative details of the com.
mission will be looked after by Will
liam l.. Allendorf, a banker and sue.
cessful business man of Sandusky. He
always has been interested in civic,
social and educational problems and
he has kept pace with advanced
thought. i,&s
The commission will have the ser.
vices Of a corps Of experts. experienc-
ed in such surveys, which will be pro.
vided by the municipal research bu.
reau OF New York City.
A review Of what has been done in
this connection discloses that the gov.
ernor has acquitted himself with dis
tinction. It Is one of the most i'm.
pOrtant undertakings ever launched by
an Ohio executive.
