      ab: The article relates an experience with the setting up of a Bureau of Student Opinion based on the principles of Gallup's Institute of American Opinion and operating on the basis of scientific cross section, or sampling. Statistical keys were set up by taking 5 percent of the enrolment by curriculum, class, residence and sex. The first two polls were accompanied by a secret balloting of the entire student body for the dual purpose of verifying the cross-section poll and winning the confidence of the students in the accuracy of the sampling method. After the data on the polls were assembled, the staff prepared copy for the school paper, and social science class began to study the background, taking leads from student comments. Every student publication can add greatly to its reader interest by printing student opinion polls.
