3. The problems are selected by the local group, and the university staff member
best equipped is selected for the role of advisor or consultant. ~

4h. It is assumed that any groups in a community who are interested in any phase
of educational problems may be the spensors of such a cooperative study.

The proposals here presented will involve much planning and organiza-
tional work. It is essential, particularly for Proposals 1 and 3, that steps
be taken at once to map out the field and to lay plans for developing the possi-
bilities of action. For these programs, contacts should be made this summer, for
the reason that most projects will entail some expense on the part of the partici-
pating schools.

In the case of Proposal 3, it may be necessary for schools to make
definite budgetary provision for sone types of projects. This would mean that
preliminary work in laying the foundation for these projects should be done im-
mediately.

It is probable that the early work in offering these proposals to
school administrators should be dane through personal visitation. Probably,
a solicitation of interest in such projects through the mails will not be as
effective as a thoughtful selection of prospects for personal calls to explain
the program. Hach member of the faculty probably has in mind a superintendent
or two who is interested in some particular problem or who is receptive to such
proposals. A sure start, with good prospects in mind, probably will get the
entire program off to a better beginning than flooding the mails with announce-
ments and waiting for replies to come in.

It is recommended that 2 cowmittee on special services be appointed
by the dean, whose duty it shall be to work out specific plans for the organiza-
tion and development of such plans as are necessary for the initiation of the
types of services suggested in the proposals described above.

Respectfully submitted,
