Judgment over the relative merits OF
dairy CATTLE the Boston Journal Of
Education has come out in severe
editorial aryaignment of the recently
published report of the Iowa surveys.
The Journal ridicules the major and
service scheme and labels the report
a bold attempt by university men to
belittle agricultural colleges and nor
NAL schools and colleges.
The Journals lengthy indictment of
the report follows:
There is at last something new UNI
der the sun. Is the major and service
scheme vista or mirage? A vision,
dream, or nightmare? A scientific
discovery or a scholastic ghost with d
fresh Numbered shroud?
The survey of the higher institu-
tons of learning in Iowa made at the
request of the state board of education
by the following persons selected BY
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton p. p. Claxton has evolved the en-
preston major and service activities:
1t is SO unfortunate as to be little
snort of rank stupidity that there Is no
normal school man in this group, no
representative of university teachei
training, and but one man who has
ever been associated with agricultural
college work.
NO matter how honest they may
have been, how hard they may have
tried to be unprejudiced in their juds-
ments it was, as impossible for five men
like Capen, Angel, Babcock, Godfrey
and Hughes to he fair minded in sucr
study as for lifelong specialists In

relative merits Of dairy cattle.
For each of these men and foi
Commissioner ClaXton we have high
est regard, but his selection of thess
men for this work is as ineNplicabie
as it is ineNcuable.
The demand that the bureau of ed
ucation leave its legitimate work anc
direct these surveys grew out of the
fact that the educational world felt
that the foundations had a domineerins
attitude toward agricultural colleges
and state normal schools, but no foun'
dation ever approached this demon
stration of university domineerance.
But passing the impossibility Of e
