what of a Mystery.

DR.. Floyd w. Reeves of the Uni.
versity of Kentucky, conducting In
diana's latest educational survey. is
the highest paid person on States
pay roll, according to pay vouchers
in the office of State Auditor L. S.
Bowman.
Paid $1,000 a month, DIR. Reeves
salary exceeds that Of the Governor
by 1888 a month.
Purpose of the survey is some
what shrouded in secrecy.
Investigates Colleges
Reeves duties, appears to consist
OF an inquiry into the efficiency Of
educational methods at the States
four institutions of higher learning,
Indiana and Purdue Universities
and the two State normal schools.
In connection with the work, DR..
Reeves has made trIps to Chicago
and Lexington, Ky, receipts filed
with the State auditor show.
"The purpose of this survey Is pri-
marily to find out the needs of the
respective State institutions" DR..
Reeves said.
However, he refused to disclose
any of the results of the investiga-
ton to date.
Reeves was named some time ago
by Governor Jackson as one OF a
commission Of five educators from
other States.
Other Members
The other members have spent
nine days in visiting State institu-
tions, Reeves said. They will be
paid for the time they spend on the
inquiry. Reeves said.
His task will keep him at work
until December, he said.
Other members Of the commission
are DR.. Charles II. Judd. director

Chicago; DR.. George Works, profess
sor of education at Cornell; John A.

public instruction, as to the pur-
poses of the survey brought this re.
ply, II know nothing whatsoever
about it,"
From Emergency Fund
Jackson is paying for the work
out of his emergency and contingent
fund. A voucher issued by Jack
sons office on Aug 81 shows the pay
ment of $1,000 to Mr. Reeves for
the preceding months salary ana
$142.65 to cover such incidental ex-
penses as stenographic help, mimeo-
graphing and supplies.
Some months ago the rural educa-
ton problem in Indiana was sur
veyed by a committee of fourteen
prominent Hoosiers appointed by
Governor Jackson. No expense was
incurred, owing to the willingness
of the committee members to serve
free of charge. Approximately six
months were occupied in this task.
The previous educational surve.
which resulted in the present county
demonstration system, was accom-
plished with but little expense. In
each Of these several prominent resi-
dents of the State, ranging from
successful farmers to leading busi-
ness men. participated in the work.
