MwSMBMJWgg SBBSfiHBf an ADMINISTRATIVE One Board of five lli-forms In Our Higher Institutions ot l.oiii'iimn. - There Ik no greater Issue boforo the people "l Oregon than the re formation nlong constructlvo cducn tlontil linos of the higher Institutions of learning. The State Grango at Its last annual meeting at Eugene had Htiumlted a report by inilt Richard son, C. 13. Sponce and E. tlofer treat ing with tho subject of raising rovo nuoa for hlghor educational Institu tions asldo trout a direct tax. '1 hat report was printed as part of tho pro ceedings of tho Stato Grango and is Interesting reading. In tho conclu sion of that report tho committee makes this recommendatlon: "Your committee is of tho opinion that Chose Institutions can be more economically run by bolng all undor one Btato board of control. Wo thore foro would recommend that there bo a stato board created for the purpose 01 oversoelng, directing and manag ing our higher Institution of learn ing. .This board should constat of not less than three nor more than five persons. It should be a mixed board, composed of both mou and women, and bo arranged In tho elec tion or appointment of the members that tho majority of either sex over tho othor shall not exceed one. This board should have full charge of the expenditure of all money used In pro viding for and carrying on thoso In stitutions. It should bo Its duty to oversee and provide suitable build ings, apparatus, teachers and every thing needful for the proper prose cuting of the work; to sco that there Is no unnecessary duplication of stu dies In tho different tichools; to keep uu uccurnto account of all expendi tures of money and roport tho true stato of affairs to tho legislature ut tho beginning of each rogular ses sion, and to furnish tho legislature with estimates of tho amounts need ed for supporting tho dlfferont in stitutions for tho time Intervening between tho regular sessions of tho. legislature By placing them all un dor ono board of control wo bollovo they can bo more economically car ried on; besides, it would do away wltn tho political scaudnl which has borotoforo boon attached to tho ap propriations mndo by tho legislature for tho support of these institutions. "In conclusion, your commlttoo would recommend that this Stato Grango take stops to collect rollablo Information touching upon thoso nat ural rosourcos of our stato which aro now fast passing Into private hands, and lay tho matter boforo tho propor authorities, and use tho host efforts at its command to secure to tho stato In porpotulty thoso valuahlo resources for tho bonollt of tho whole people. Tho commlttoo nbovo named pro ceodod to havo proparod a draft of a bill to pluco all tho hlghor institu tions of learning undor ono hoard, Mud tho bill Is printed horowith. Tho bill is not porfect, but can bo easily mndo to cover tho situation, nnd it is bolleved by tho com in w..eo would mult in n groat saving in oxponses of administration ns well ns improve ment In tho public sorvlco thnt Is covorod by these institutions. Tho comnilttco oxpects thnt there will bo opposition to this reform bill, as thore always Is to ovory now step In tho development of tho govern ment. Copies of this bill aro bolng sont to all mombors of tho Stnto Grango nnd subordinate Grnngos and to members of tho ganorf)) nssombly and to reients of the various Institutions afteoted thereby. The eommittoo will gladly roooive suggestions for the perfection of the bill or eliminate any defects contain ed is the moasure. The bill does not intend or attempt to dotormlue what support the institutions shall recelvo. It alms at. bettor administration. Arguments tor One Hoard. A lane board or commission moans large expenses for mileage and por diem for from nine to twelve per sons for each board. The prosont three boards contain over thirty por ona. The normal sohool board has nine members, the agricultural col logo thirteen, tho stato university nine members. Ksoh sepnrato board am. besides a salarlod secrotnry, treasurer and bookkeeper. Those would be done away with and each institution would have onh a roels- trar and 'he buslnosa of the Institu tion would be dono through the pres Went and his private secrotary direct wn the ono board. Out of all thoso boards of over thirty persons, nnd probably ten em ployes, one board could be formed jaat would give all flvo Institutions "etter business administration nnd oet far lees than administration by taree larger boards, which are got wither with difficulty and groat ex pens. . Th? normal school board that has wwdlftd the affairs of the four nor wl schools for two years past which tae smallest of the boards. Is too rge and has unanimously adopted a resolution to create ono board of five Members for all five higher schools. Large boards mean few meetings m f01 expense for mileage. A Lmaii board means concentration on i Business, smaller expense. The nor Members for All State Institutions of Higher Education-Abolishes Separate Boards of Regents and Many OfficesNo Duplication of Courses. mal school board of nlno members, Is too large, and whether one board is created for all five Institutions or, not, nil three boards should bo re - ducod to five members each. Tho smaller boards might be composed onlroly of business men nnd oducnt- ors and with no state officials on thoso boards, and still better in tho opinion of many persons, ono board of flvo members, with no stato offi cials on It, would bo still better for the schools and tho taxpayers. Whether ono board or three Is continued, smaller boards are In the lino of progress. With all the schools running under sepnrato local boards there Is all the stimulus of local en terprise and local rivalry to oxtond their functions In all directions and Increase their appropriations largoly for work done that Is duplication.! Mow to cut out duplicate courses of study, how to Introduce better bus iness management, how to secure bet ter educational administration, high er professional standards In each in stitution, and confining that Institu tion to Its legitimate functions as pro vided by law these problems are alone possible of solution under one board. Ono board for all these educational Institutions would Introduce order and system, would corrolnte tho func tions of thoso InstltAitlons nnd onnblo tho state to develop educational work along such lines as are most needed by tho people. Tho hlghost perma nent propor development of higher education Is possible under ono board. Tho ono board of five regents should bo composed of mon who nro not residents of tho locnllty where tho institution 1b located. Thoro should bo no men on ouch a board who havo local or "homo" intorcsts to protect or promote, or who would go to trading to protect local Issues. Slmliur Action in WtalUugtou. Tho following telegram from Olym pian Wneh., to tho Oregonlan shows thnt Blmllar action Is contemplated in tho stnto north of us: "Tho Btato board of control will recommend to tho next lcglilaturo that tho positions of twonty-flvo re gent!! nnd trustees of tho stato hlghor educational institutions bo abolished and in their stend a contral body of three educators and business mon bo appointed to havo full chargo of the stato collogo, stato university and thrco normal schools. "J, II.

Ho points out nil tho regents aro men of affairs whoso personnl interests occupy so much of their tlmo thnt thoy cannot glvo propor attention to tho schools.

University nnd collogo nnd onch of tho normnls havo ovor been blttor rlvnlB for legislative fa vors In appropriations, and onch would fonr the othor might get nn advnntngo undor tho throo-man board plan. "Stnto college enthusiasts, nnd thoy nro tho most nctlvo workers and most successful horo ovory bob- slon, will no doubt oppose tho plan, soolng In It nn nttompt to do away with the present nctual control of that institution by President hluoch A. Bryan. It Is not certain that Gov ernor Moad will Indorse tho plan. (Title of the Act.)
