2 The committee on practical training discusses this question superficially. This subject will, in all probability, be taken up in due time by the committee on instruction in government, Charles G. Haines, chairman, Whitman College. Definite coöperation is to be arranged by the committees at the Washington meeting.

3 Further evidences of this point of view are found in the Applied History Researches of the State Historical Society of Iowa.

In 1910 the State Historical Society of Iowa inaugurated the “Iowa Economic History Series,” a series of publications containing the results of critical investigations on economic questions. Already five volumes have appeared in this series: Labor Legislation in Iowa, by E. H. Downey; Taxation in Iowa, (2 vols.) by Brindley, John E. Google Scholar; Work Accident Indemnity in Iowa, by E. H. Downey; Road Legislation in Iowa, by John E. Brindley.

But of more importance in this connection is the “Iowa Applied History Series” of which one volume has already been published by the Society. The researches represented in this series have been referred to as legislative research. The subjects handled are practical problems in contemporary legislation and administration.

The researchers of the State Historical Society of Iowa are allowed credit for their work by the graduate college of the State University of Iowa and by graduate colleges of other universities.
