HI) JK-.I V.- u s The Comment in yesterday's Observer on the promotion of dairying in Union and Wallowa counties was more un intelligible than usual because someone in the mechanical department left out a line. At least our approval of the project $vas obvious and we hope a conservative program of . promotion can be undertaken. , , 'j -; !(!'." ; ;. r if' THE EDUCATIONAL SURVEY ' Among': other things at the legislative session, several thousand dollars wiw appropriated for a survey of the insti tutions of higher education in Oregon as a preliminary step for the consolidated board of regents which will govern the five state schools after July 1st. The money will be well spent and should provide u considerable amount of informa tion that will be a great aid to the new board., f The purpose of the survey is simply to find out how our higher educatiqn money can be spent to the best advantage for the state as a whole. It will, no doubt, go into questions of enrollment, housing facilities, faculty load and wage levels, etc. It will determine what duplication exists in the various schools,! will' try to present facts that will show how waste can bo.itfiminutcd.' ' It will gather data from 'which the new board can; decide questions of expansion and development In an impartial- manner without the handicap of jealousies and school prejudices. ',.,'. No doubt' the 'survey will show Unit there are schools of music Mid departments of journalism both at Eugene and' -'. iW feMMM&rr.'.ui:.1..!) i itJi -t ?r,-.r' ! uui vwiiij. . ,iw jjiuunoiy Biiuw iiihi mere are courses in business, administration in both ; schools. It will probably show that, there arc teacher-training courses in these two institutions as well as in the thrco,.wrmal schools, some in duplication and some pot becauso .life normals thus far pro vide only a two-year course." :"'..- Several years ago in a political scrap the school of engi neering was 'grabbed from the university and made a part of the State college. It's been a soro spot for years but il now appears right and proper,, from an educational stand point, that the change was made. ., A technical school, such &a engineering, can well be . confined to the state college where agriculture, mining, forestry,' domestic art, animal husbandry, etc., are specialized subjects for study, f Ono of the objects, of the new board of regents will be to eliminate duplicated courses, to make a great technical school at Corvallis, a great cultural school at Eugene, and great teacher-training schools at the normals. A journalism department, for example, has no 'proper place- in the state college.-. Neither a music school. These courses should bo confined, to the, university as engineering should be confined to the college. A general knowledge, of the subjects, if de sired as'aVcpltura background for the student undertaking technical trainfng; can be had through student activities i tho student' press, and student musical organizations. No such schoohf.lue found in tho Massachusetts Institute of Technology or in other technical institutions of high standing, i As we have previously remarked in this column, there Heed not be and should not be any controversy or competi tion between the college and university. Both have a dis tinct sphere and have gained an enviable reputation through out the nation in their particular sphere. In the same way should our normal schools be developed. They should be made four-year teachers' colleges as rapidly as possible. Tho university and college .should not seek to duplicate the t min ing course's, thus pffercd. If the consolidated Ixmrd of regents will operate along these linos, governing our institutions for the good of state higher education as a whole, spending money or conserving it in direct proportion to existing needs and demands of stu dent groups, then , the creation of this new board will be thoroughly justified. The survey, soon to be undertaken, is a preliminary step in the right direction. c -Arid Easter Only Two Weeks Awayl If fv c c 7, j .... - Smart , New Frocks.
