Cooperative Research to Be Carried
On By Seven More Colleges
Approval of seven more con-
tracts with colleges and universi-
ties for cooperative educational
research was announced today by
the Office of Education Depart-
ment of Health Education and
Welfare.
The contracts include three
with Syracuse University two
with Boston University and one
each with Indiana University and
Regis College Weston Massa-
chusetts. $1 Million
These agreements are another
step in the cooperative research
program launched recently under
a new $1 million appropriation
enacted by Congress. These (funds
provide for research in the prob-
lems of education by colleges
universities and State depart-
ments of education.
The largest of the new contracts
was awarded to Syracuse Univer-
sity which will receive $59055
for a three-year project. It will
be a study of the attitudes of
parents toward mentally retarded
children toward their educa-
tion present social adjustment
and later adult adjustment. The
university will contribute $22305.
The project will be directed by
William M. Cruickshank profes-
sor of edupation and psychology
and director of Education for Ex-
ceptional Children Syracuse Uni-
versity School of Education.
The effects of community pres-
sures personal satisfaction and
dissatisfactions and other factors
on the development of teaching
careers will be studied in another
3-year project at Syracuse. Ray-
mond G. Kuhlen assistant pro-
fessor of psychology at Syracuse
University will be the director.
The Offipe of Education will pro-
vide $42460 with the university
adding $8480.
Personality Traits
Another Syracuse project also
to be headed by Dr. Kuhlen will
attempt to determine how factors
such as personality traits are in-
volved in the choice of teaching
as a vocation. The Office of Edu
cation has allocated $31800 for
this research which will continue
approximately one year. The
university will provide $7780.
A Boston University project to
last about three years will seek
a simple group test to spot future

will be projejct director. The Of-
fice of Education will provide

tributing approximately $6500.
A second Boston University
study will focus on the language
abilities and handicaps of men-
tally retarded children as shown
by their reading listening speak-
jng and writing. Among the ob-
jectives will be the identification
of those language weaknesses
which usually respond rapidly to
remedial instruction and the out-
lining of remedial plans.

education at Boston University
will supervise the project which
will require about one year. The

cational Research at Indiana Uni-
versity will direct the one-year
project. The university will add
