It is planned that the university will bear the cost of the travel and other
expenses of the visiting group. The local area will be charged with the
responsibility of the promotion of the conferences, after the plans are set

up.

It is thought that it might be possible to hold about 10 such centers during
the school year. The probable cost of travel for one car, and expenses of a
team would average around $50. Such a program for the year would cost the
university around $600.

Proposal 2.
Follow-up New Teacher Visitation.

This proposal provides for a systematic plan for the visitation of graduates
of K. U. who are in their first or second year of teaching. This should be
2 continuous project, so that every teacher who goes out from the university
will be visited by some member of the staff during his first year in the
field.

The program would have to be administered from a central office, and definite
itineraries worked out to save time and travel. Enough time should be
allowed so that the visitors do net seem to be too hurried.

The visitor should first visit the superintendent and principal in the town,
to become familiar with any problems which may be present relating to any
K. U. graduates. This personal call, with nothing te sell the administra-
tors, will be welcomed.

Each graduate should be visited in class, if possible, and an interview set
up, bringing primarily the greeting cf the university to the graduate.
Incidentally, any helpful suggestions and commendations which are in order
should be brought out.

The purpose of this follow-up work with graduates is obvious. It will be
welcomed by both administrators and graduates, for it demonstrates a conbin-
ued interest in the welfare of the graduates and in the problems of the
administrators.

Proposal 3.
Field Laboratory Workshops.

Every school man has problems which he confronts, and many of these administra-
tors would appreciate the opportunity to have some assistance with their
teachers working at these problems. The purpose of this proposal is to

offer to schools some assistance in the solution of specific problems.

This program does not involve university credit, nor is it to be confused
with university extension courses. The plan does not deal with a body of
subject matter previously organized, but is a consideration of a problem
which it met by the scheols in the community. The problem is studied by
the teachers and/or administrators, who are assisted by a member or members
of the university staff.
