sixth annual conference on super
vision 10 be held at the University OF
Iowa from April 20 20 May l. As
many as 400 school officials from
high schools and colleges OF the state
are expected to attend.
The program of the conference Is
designed to answer three questions:
How school finances for next year
may be administered economically
and wisely, how space may be found
in which to teach classes, and how,
given money and space. efficiency OF
instruction. supervision, and admin
istration NAV be increased.
1T would be pleasant 20 omit the
first two items and spend all the
time upon the third" says W. F.
Russell, dean of the university's col
lege OF education. but the condi-
tons are so serious and the need so
great that large share of the pro-
gram must be devoted TO immediate
needs"
Members OF boards OF education
will find discussion of the financial
problems particularly helpful. it is
believed. Taxes permitted under the
law viii with extreme difficulty raise
the money necessary to meet higher
salaries, increased cost of fuel re-
pairs, and other OUTLAWS. An entir
session on Thursday afternoon, April
%, will be given over TO the dis
cussion of financial problems in pub
lie education. Construction OF sal
