Bixler, R. W., and O'Rear, F. B. " M u s t College Salaries Be Scheduled?" Teach- ers College Record 42:534-43. M a r . 1941- " T h e scheduling of salaries of college teachers must be charged with two significant weaknesses: (1) it has not provided adequately f o r individual differences among college teachers—differences in training and experience, in interests and aptitudes, in hopes and aspirations, in economic needs; (2) it has not provided adequately f o r the changing needs of individuals in these respects." The a u t h o r s discuss the need for flexibility, the need f o r economic security, the s t a n d a r d of living and personnel development, s t a n d a r d s of living in- dices, and a d j u s t m e n t to the individual employee. They close their article on this n o t e : " T h e r e is need in our colleges f o r a faculty personnel pro- gram, in which the administration of salaries should operate to keep them a d j u s t e d to individual need and merit. Such a program might be expected to improve institution-faculty relations, and to aid the college in f u n c t i o n i n g as a unified whole. As a part of this program, college salaries should be a d j u s t e d r a t h e r than scheduled." Faulkner, Donald. "Philosophic Bases of Confusion in Higher Education."

" T h i s article sets b e f o r e the r e a d e r nine phi- losophies of education which are generalizations f r o m theories expressed by w r i t e r s in the field.

Conference on Library Specialisation (Continued from page 349) a complete record of the topics considered. M r . M c M u r t r i e brought forward pro- posals for developing by cooperative means adequate subject bibliographies. T h e sub- ject of cooperative storage warehouses, with reports concerning progress of these projects at Boston and Chicago, was given attention. T h e relationship of micro- photography to library specialization was not ignored, though there seemed to be an undercurrent of feeling that salvation was not to be awaited from any mechan- ical device. A complete stenographic rec- ord of the conference proceedings is available on microfilm. Plans for publica- tion in edited form are in process. SEPTEMBER, 1941 367
