. A. O. AND It. OF O. .
The. commute of the Htato Orange
on reforina In thn flnsniUI manage
went of the Institutions of hlirlir ed
ucatlnnNl In Oregon has pretutred a
draft of a bill wht. t pMipoM.. to pla'
all surh InsNtullon under onn board
Of five members.
Instead of separate boards of re
gnts for (he Normal schools, the State
university and the Oregon Agricultural
rallrgn, all (heae whools are to be put
under one board of control.
The b.inrd will have the general su
pervision over lite schools and will ex
ercise absolute control and manage
ment of the Institutions, dependent, of
eurse, for appropriations to maintain
All this la'eAcellont as far aa It goes.
but not until the Oregon Agricultural
college and the University of Oregon
are combined and mndn to live in one
city, will the best possible result be
obtained. Wisconsin has taken the
Initiative In this matter and has al
ready been followed by Michigan nnd
Mlnnesotn. as well as other state far
ther cast, where educational facilities
nre al the best. With both of Ore-
gun's gTeat schools united under one
head and In the same rlty. what a
schoiil we would have. O. A. C. fills
a want In Oregon which many states
feel heavily. In that It educates the
afrmers' boys and girls. Tho unlv r
slty of Oregon is and should be cater
ing to a different field. A a result,
each Institution ha a certain amount
of expense which would be cut In two
were both schools consolidated. The
very beat profeasor. the most capable
Instructors and the most efficient
president could be. employed where.
It Is now, each school must guard
ts every step lt It go loo far Int..
expenses.
Two-third of Ihe salaries now paid
to the two presidents would employ
the leading educator of the country.
That would leave a lucrative nest egg
for Improvement and equipment In
other department.. The earn la true
In many courses, such a law. engi
neering and medicine. Oreat results
would be obtained by spending the
same money on one school of engi
neering that I now being lavished on
that department in the two schools,
neiiner Deing more than mediocre. So
on through the entire curriculum of
both institutions. The ooner the
University of Oregon and the Oregon
Agricultural college are consolidated,
the sooner will Oregon have one great
university of 'colleges Instead of one
university and one college, both living
from hand to mouth.

CAMPERS' CAIUXF.S8XESS.
Forest fire this summer have
caused the loss of thousands of dol
lars to the timber Interests in this
state. Notwithstanding the fact that
forest ranger are patrolling the
mountains and doing all in their power
to prevent fires, and protect the for
est, fire escape from campers and
the damage to forest and range Is
enormous. Camper should use every
known precaution. Any carelessness
along this line is nothing less than
criminal.
The Bryan campaign 1 officially
launched. The notification speech has
been delivered and Mr. I!ryan has of
ficially accepted the nomination. His
speech of acceptance hi a masterly ar
raignment of the republican party, in
which he attempts to show that all
the Ills of the human family, so far as
applied to the cltlxnns of the United
States are Concerned, are directly
traceable to the republican party, and
that the cure-all can only be found In
the platform adopted by the Denver
convention. Mr. Dry an Informs the
notification committee that he will
prepare a more formal addrma of ac
ceptance and deliver It at soma future
time during the campaign. If his sec
ond address Is any more formal or
lengthy than the one he delivered yee
torday. It la to be hoped that he will
railroad It through the people 6n sec
lions. Tho old story of the congress
man, of whom a friend aaJd. that "he
had a spltmdld train of thought, but
unfortunately no terminal facilities,"
will certainly apply as well to Mr.
Rryan. The battle Is on. but thank
heaven. It will not bu very long.
