Cpolidge is going homo March 4th with 16 trunks and
150 boxes and barrels filled with the material accumulation
of his years as president. He hasn't announced what he will
; do with it all but we very much fear that he'll have to give
up the old duplex house in Northampton but more, commodi
ous quarters. Or maylie he'll hire a warehouse. .

Senator Kiddle is being mentioned as the likely president
of the senate at the next legislative session. Why not? Fred
has become one of the outstanding leaders of the senate in
the short space of two terms. lie is popular and competent
and well versed in legislative procedure and organization.
Presidency of the senate is certain to come to him in the
next two or four years. -
SLOW ON REGENT CONSOLIDATION
The legislature has taken hold of the scheme 'to consoli
date the regents of the university, state college and normal
schools into one body to govern higher education in Oregon
and seems to be intent on putting the plan into effect with
out knowing very much about it. Today the house was
scheduled to take up the question, the senate having passed
it previously.
Many advantages appear on tho surface of the plan. With
only one board of regents, much of the present controversy
between boards would be eliminated. There would be a cen
tralized control and some economy, perhaps, both in money
and1 f!f educational effort.
But the change is revolutionary in Oregon. It would be
far-reaching in influence, and would or could affect the lives
and prosperity of practically everyone in tho state. It's not
a movement to be started, huiricd through and dropped as
n finished job in tho short space of two or three weeks. Ed
ucation is one of the primary foundations of the 'state, and
unything affecting it as intimately as a consolidation of
regents should receive more attention, more study than this
plan has had up to the present time.
What states have a consolidated board of regents govern
ing all state schools ? What is the plan of organization in
those states? What has been their experiences? Do the peo
ple and the educators therein feel that the system is success
ful? Has tho educational service provided under this cen
tralized system been more beneficial ? If it has lcen success
ful in some slates and unsuccessful in others, what arc the
reasons in each instance and what are the differences in
plan?
These and dozens of other questions relating to a scheme
foriono board of regents should be answered in great detail
before any definite action is taken. A survey to gather all
tho pertinent facts on the proposal should be undertaken. A
' iuupaign to present these facts to the people as well as to
ll .0 legislators should lie undertaken. There should bo some
definite public opinion on the subject before action is taken.
- A plan that is right in its general aspects can lie ex
tremely damaging to the stale's best interests, by inadequate
mid poorly conceived details. A consolidate lxmid of regents,
it seems to The Observer, has nuieh of merit to recommend
it in general. But we have many doubts about the details
under which such an organization should be formed. And
we are very fearful of the results unless a careful study is
made by coniictent men to insure a plan thai has piwed
successful under similar circumstances.
The idea of consolidation is not new. Other states have
tried it, some to their benefit r.nd some to their great sorrow.
Mul Oregon should profit by the mistakes, experiences and
. i.t fosses of others.
What the ('ate of the bill will be in the hou;;e, we cannot
predict at this time but the governor will be entirely justified
in a veto if it is passed without more exhaustive investigation
and study than the plan h;'s had so far. Mr. Patterson is,
wc are sure, in favor of the general proposal, but we are
equally sure that ho is against a hasty and uniformed exe
cution of it. Oregon can well put in another year or so sur
veying the entire educational structure of this slate and oth
ers and can safely delay definite action on such an important
measure. '
