.Research by Eric W. Allen Is Complete Extensive Questionnaire Is Sent Out by Dean of Of Journalism Report Will Be Read at Convention A preliminary analysis of a “re search on research” in journalism has just been completed by Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, as part of the work he doing as chairman of the coun cil of research of the American Association of Schools and De partments of Journalism. This preliminary analysis is be ing sent immediately to other members of the council so that when their comments are received work can begin on the final re port. This report will be present ed at a convention of the journal ism associations at Eaten Rouge, La., during the coming Christmas vacation. In making the survey fer this report questionnaires were sent out to every journalism instruc tor in the United States, and a few in China and Japan. The questionnaire was also sent to all interested instructors in sociology, political science, history, and eco nomies. The research reveals that at present there are being conducted a total of 506 separate research projects. Dean Allen has divided these into 12 different categories of methods of procedure, and is pieparing an elaborate report to be given before the association. “The report will recommend con siderable reorganization of the machinery for the publication of journalism researches, and it is hoped to set up certain standards that will greatly affect the qual ity of the work in this field throughout the country,” said Dean Allen. The preliminary report just completed is to be used by Dr. Frank L. Mott, of the University of Iowa, and Prof. E. M. Johnson, lately of the University of Minne sota, the presidents of the two as sociations, as a basis for working out the programs for the confer ence.

W. Cunliffe, Columbia; Walter Williams, Missouri; A. L. Stone, Montana; Willard G. Bleyer, Wisconsin; E. Marion Johnson, Minnesota; J. O. Sim mons, Syracuse.
