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. , ,

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.
