u. S. BUREAU OF EDUCATION

We are just in receipt Of the Re-
port of the U. S. Commissioner OF
Education for last year, and tlnd
many items of general interest III
its pages. This Bureau, IN exist
ence since 1867, is charged with
certain administrative functions,
but its main activities are those
of research and the dissemination
of knowledge thus obtained
among the forty-eight States.
The Bureau has a staff Of some
eighty-seven employees in its Of
fices at Washington. More than
twenty of these are specialists en-
gagged in the various lines Of re-
search work, and the remainder
are stausticians, librarians and
clerks.
The Statistical Division issues
from time to time, bulletins as to
the general survey Of education in
the United States; as to the sta
tistics of city, school systems; and
statistics as TO universities, col
leges, and professional schools.
These bulletins are sent to public
and private high schools, COM
1nercial schools, city schools,
normal schools, nurse-trainlng,
schools, colleges and universities,
and kindergartens. During the
year ending June so, 1921, the Btu
reau sent out 422,022 bulletins,
l4,S24 annual reports, and $685. |
952 miscellaneous circulars. mi
addition, all aggregate OF 1882
575 sheets OF mimeograph work
Of various kinds, including ques-
tionnaires, photographers, and ar
ticles on educational topics, were
distributed by the Bureau. Forty
thousand personal letters were
also sent out.
The work being done in Alaska |
is especially interesting to the gen
eral reader. 1t would seem. after
a perusal Of the Bureau activities
in that vast territory, that a per-
11lanent foundation for future
civilization was being laid. and
that no other virgin territory mi
the world ever made a start under
such intelligent and favorable au-
spices. We well remember, some
twenty years ago or more when
the then Commissioner had as one
Of his tasks, the introduction Of
reindeer from Siberia. The es-
Establishment and maintenance Of
vast herds of this most useful
animal is the result, the import i
ance Of which can hardly be over-IfI
estimated.

worthy successor to the long line

have adorned this Bureau, and we
are glad to commend him and his /

Lloyd George declared it was vital
that the Socialist attack should be en-

another danger that the majority in the
