Ties dC the beginning OF the expert
ment at the end of the first year, at
the end of the third year, and at the
end of the fifth year.
1t is hoped that at the end of the
experimental period at least half of
these young persons may have had
some extended contact with one of the
peoples college programs and may
therefore be used as comparison with
the remaining young adults who have
not been in attendance at one of the
colleges.
F. Modifying the programs.
AS the results of the study become
available they will be given to the
directors of the three peoples col
leges. No attempt will be made to
impose any change of program on a
school unless the students. the faculty
and the directors recognize that the
change is desirable and demand it
themselves.
G. Administration.
1. The program of research will be
directed jointly by the University of
Minnesota and the Minnesota State
Department of Education.
2. The details of the investigation
will be planned by an advisory COM
mittee appointed by the president OF
the University and the State Commits
siOner of Education.
3. A director of research and such
assistants as may be necessary will
be selected by the president of the
University and the State Commission
er of Education.
4. Directors and stats of local
peoples colleges will be appointed by
the local associations with the ap-
prevail of the University and the State
Department of Education.
5. A general aim of administration
be to make the peoples colleges in
Communities B and g as completely
self-directing as the school in Com
munity A has been in the past.
Nv. Suggested Budget.
A. A General basis of suggested
budget.
The budget outlined below has been
based on the following assumptions:
1. Each student will pay fee (or
be given a scholarship by the local
peoples college association to cover
his living expenses and such share OF
the Institutional expenses as the local
association may determine.
| 2. The minimum Institutional cost
per student per year is estimated at
S1OO. The proposed annual grant OF
$4,000 to each school will therefore
meet the minimum cost of conducting
program for fifty students or hall
the minimum cost for one hundred
students.
| 3. 1t is assumed that the University
and the State Department of Educa-
ton will bear the cost of the general
direction of this project. Tests, in
terview blanks, travelling expenses
and special research assistance will
be charged to Item 4 in the suggested
budget below.
