Miss Ethel Snidow, of Mexico, has
been chosen from the faculty of sixty
of the Tulsa, Okla, High School, to
visit the high schools in some of the
larger eastern cities and make a
survey of supervised study. This
choice, according to information from
Tulsa, came after the heads of the
city schools and principal of the high
school had thoroly investigated the
work of the entire faculty. Miss Sni-
dow's work of supervised study in
her own classes has been notable
advance over anything yet accom-.
plished along this line. Supervised
study is as yet in an experimental
stage. Those familiar with Miss Sni-
dow's work feel sure she will make
a success of her survey, as she has
in other innovations which have re-
ceived her attention.
