States department of education, released yesterday to Oregon's state board of higher education. Heavily laden with facts and embodying a large number of recommendations for improve ment, the report comprises 12 typewritten pages and embraces the work of a staff of experts over the period of a year. The cost of the survey-to the stats and federal governments is esti mated at 230,000. Would Segregate Advanced Courses To carry -out the underlytag recommendations in the report., the surveyors recommend that all upper division science work be confined to Oregon State col lege and all upper division work In arts, 1 literature and social sciences be confined to the University' of Oregon. At the same time the survey recommends thst, lower division work for freshman and sopho more students be maintained on essentially indentlcal terms at Eugene and Corvallls and that faculty members and students be transferred from one school te an other in the upper divisions rath er than duplicate courses in each school. 1 i The survey, authorized by the 1929 legislature and ordered by the state board of higher educa tion as one of its first acts. In cluded the office of the state su perintendent of education, as well as the higher institutions of learning. Dr. Arthur J. Klein ef Ohio state university was is Charge of the survey, which is expected to form, the basis for the policies of the state board of higher education in its revised system effective July 1. Oregon Generous In School Support " Without definite recommenda- rtion of a single unit of adminis tration, the Survey indicates such may be needed if there is contin ued failure to maintain coordin ation of the Institutions. "The fu ture must contemplate oae great system of higher education in the state with Its several units not competing but combining to make the single enterprise most effective," the surveyors de clare. Stressed in the report Is Ore gon's financial contribution for support of higher education. : . "A larger percentage of the combined receipts for private and public higher education in the state of Oregon is spent for pub lic higher education than is us ual In the United: States as a whole. Eighty and six-tenths of the total in Oregon Is received for public higher education as compared, with 43.7 per cent for the entire United States. In eth er words the state Is bearing a larger k proportion of the total higher educational cost and the private institutions are perform ing a smaller portion of the task thanr Is the case in most other states," the report continues. Average la Higher f Than For. Nation Further, for every $1,000,009 of its wealth, Oregon has invest ed $3,115 in capital asets fer Its public higher educational insti tutions as compared with $2,563' I for the United States as a whole, I Oregon's investment in its high er educational property per 1.000 population is almost twice that of the United States as a whole. "In Oregon 73.3 per cent of the total college population of the state are in public higher Insti tutions; in the United States as a whole onTy-SO.t per cent . are in higher institutions. Further there is one college student at tending ft public -higher educa tional institution for every 93 people; in the United States there is one such student1 for every 200 persons. It seems, upon the basis of ' these data, that Oregon's higher 7 educational program is considerably distorted." Salient points In the recom mendations and findings of the survey sre: ' . . .
