ment of Education Professor Hill said, Ito bring together small group of graduate students for the study of important problems in the field of education. The. group will be limited to one hundred advanced students of education selected on the basis of scholastic record and
 professional achievement. While most of the students will be men and women of wide educational ex- perience, there will be included in the group students of less experience whose admission will be justified by scholastic record alone"
 The faculty of the Conference, made up of leaders of important educational fields, will be composed by Boyd Henry Bode, professor of Educational Philosophy, Ohio State University; Dr Walter Albert Jessup president of the University of Iowa; Truman Lee Kelley, professor of Educational Psychology and Meas urements, Harvard University; John w. Stakeholder, superintendent of City Schools, Des Moines, Iowa: and Edward Lee Thorndike, professor of Educational Psychology, Columbia University.
 ''The work of the conference will be characterized by much freedom" Professor Hill said There will be no courses in the ordinary sense of the term. The conference itself will be unit in considering problems of current educational importance. Each student will be expected to contribute to the success of the conference by making available to the group the results of his reading, thinking, and general experience. No work will be scheduled during the afternoon and evening, this time being reserved for reading, for small group discussions, and for personal conference with members of the faculty. All the meetings of the conference will be held in the seminar rooms of the tSerling Mem orial library, the resources of which will be available to the students. Students who wish credit for ad- vanced degrees must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the faculty that their time has been profitably spent"
 Applications are being received, Professor Hill said, from all sec- tions of the country. It is expected that the group will be made up early in May.

audit.
$10,429 Above Receipts.
The audit is for the year ending
July 81, 1881, and shows that during
that period Stafford County expended
$l0.429.38 above its total receipts.
In the report to the Board OF Super
Csors the auditor of public accounts
said. IN part:
AS you no doubt already realize and
will readily see on reference to exhibit
A your county is in very weak finan-
cial condition. Its liabilities exceed its
assets and the outlook for its schools
Is particularly unpromising On refer
ence to exhibit B you will note that
the expenditures for roads and schools
during the year exceeded the revenues
provided for these purposes by $l478.86
and S13,34890. respectively, and that
expenditures for all purposes exceeded
total revenues by $l0,429.33.
Correction Needed.
Your county's situation is one which
we believe requires immediate study and
correction. In this connection we are
able to advise that the writer and Dr.
Sidney B. Hall, superintendent of pub
lie instruction. are available for such
purposes and will be glad to meet with
you and the school board of your
county for a discussion of the situation
and development of plan that will en-
able you to overcome your difficulties.
IT IS. OF course, optional with you as to
whether you desire to avail yourself Of
these facilities. but We feel that we can
not too strongly urge upon you the seri-
BUSINESS of your county's situation and
the necessity for action that will fore
stall loss of credit and other difficulties
that will be inevitable if the present
tendency is not checked"
