 or excuse for an expensive central establishment in Washington. I 

 should prefer the institution. At the same time, I do not see any

 three forms of subsidy, granted practically to existing universities.

No. II, a printing establishment, I put first. 



Nos. I, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, lo I have dealt with, in order of their 

 apparent merit, under my discussion of the central institution. 



No. 9 is covered by my alternative proposition to that of a central 

 institution. 



Nos. 3 and 12 appear to me, however valuable in themselves, to 

 lie outside of psjxhology proper.
