the two campuses, , which woald
bring the president as close to any
Individual on either campus as the
telephone. The : president woald
reside In one city or the other, bat
he and his wife would be ex officio
residents . of the other city and
'woald take part in the social and
cultural life of both communities
to a limited extent.
While the president should be
made responsible for organizing
the administration and the educa
tional program on both campuses,
It is urged that the university be
preserred and maintained as a
unlTerslty of liberal culture' and
professional training; and the
state college preserred as a voca
tional, practical Institution. It
would be the Job of the president
to organise the programs at both
schools so as to eliminate all du
plication possible, consistent with
maintaining each Institution as an
efficient working unit; and to op
erate on lowest budgets that are
reasonable.
3rd. One president for the nor
mal school at Monmouth responsi
ble directly to the state board.
4th. The state board should be
given authority to determine the
status of institutions at Ashland
and La Grande. They may be
maintained as normal schools in
which case the principals should
be subordinate to the president at
Monmouth. They may be I main
tained as Junior colleges, la which
case the principals would be re
sponsible to the president of the
university-state college. Or they
might be suspended or abandoned.
6th. If the board felt it neces
sary It could maintain its own of
fice of secretary or clerk, whose
duties would be secretarial and
not executive. This office and what
central accounting office is desired
should be located either at Cor-
rallis or Eugene. If the president
chose one city for residence, then
the board office or central office
might be located at the other,
which would divide the honors and
allay local jealousies.
Makes Control Direct
At Biff Schools
So much for the outline of this
substitute form of organisation.
The discussion may be equally
brief. It strikes at the heart of the
trouble which has afflicted higher
education in Oregon by giving uni
fied control over the two big in
stitutions which have been the
spots of "infection". And it brings
this control direct and immediate.
rather than remote or pyramided,
Reference to Chart in shows how
"close-coupled" the administration
of the two schools would be.
In actual working the president
would be as much at home on one
campus as the other. He would
spend about as much time la one
office as the other, preside at con
vocations, commencements, etc.
He would have an office secretary
on eacn campua to organise his of
fice work and to carry on his of
fice in his absence. This is the sys
tem used at the governor's office
where the executive secretary

away. It has long been successful
ly applied at Oregon State where
a large share of credit tor the won
derful success made by President
Kerr is due to the capable. Indus
trious service of his executive sec
retary, W,A. Jensen. President
Hall had an executive secretary,
though we' believe later he made
some changes in his organization.
There would be no need for lo
cal "presidents' or vice presidents
There might be a "senior dean" of
the faculty; but all this organiza
tion would be left to the president.
The president alone should do Jhe
commuting, mougn ne would have
occasional conferences - of deans
and professors ot Wh schools for
the. proper division of work and
settlement of common problems,
and would call in for service or
advice the best opinion on either
campus for specific problems.
Give Normal Schools
A Chance - '-, n.
The , purpose of making the
president of the normal school In
dependent of the other president
is two-fold, first - to relieve the
president of the university-state
college so that he may devote his
mil time to the difficult Job of
managing these two large institu
tions ana remain an on-campns"
executive; and second to dignify
ana aeveiop normal training,
It will be difficult enough to ob
tain a man for president at Cor
vallis-Eugene who can handle suc
cessfully the university and land
grant college. It would be almost
Impossible to get a man who could
do this and at the same time man
age with sympathy and under
standing normal schools. The line
of cleavage is great between the
normal school and the college-uni
versity. Certainly In this state the
normal school has too long been
subordinated to the rivalries and
to the greed of the great institu
tions. The normal school Is the
Little Orphan Annie, the poor Cin
derella of the Oregon educational
household. The survey report said.

Again it said:

Change Could ' "
Easily be Made
It would not be at all difficult
to put into effect this substitute
form of organization. The state
law would need to he amended to
reduce the number'of members ot
the state board, which Is not a
crucial question after all; to abol
ish the office of the executive sec
retary at Salem; and to alter. the
status of the schools at Ashland
and LaGrande.
At Its next meeting, Instead ot
electing a super-chancellor, the
board could elect one president for
the institutions at Eugene and
Corvallis, and under his advice
modify the Administrative and
educational program which the
plan contemplates, eventually li
quidating the saiem offices. ,
We do not believe the publie
will tolerate the type of organiza
tion which Is being established.
Either the consolidation measure
will be voted Is November or the
next legislature will take steps to
wipe out the overhead offices
which are being created.
Tnls substitute form of organ
isation is designed to avoid the
costs and the complications of
overhead control which the chan
cellor-executlve secretary - system
imposes, to bring an even closer
grip on the schools at Eugene and
Corvallis in the interest of har
mony and economy, and to give
normal schools In Oregon a chance
to breathe. It may he added that
no person in Eugene or Corvallis
or any person connected with
institutions tnere nas been con
sulted with regard to this substi
tute plan, that the full responsibil
ity for the authorship and promul
gation rests with this writer: and
tnat the purpose Is to avoid physi
cal consolidation on the one hand.
and expensive and dangerous "re
mote control" organization on the
other hand.
It may be urged that this sub
stitute if offered "too late", that
the board Is now putting Its plan
Into effect. The answer Is that un
less some such modification is
made by the state board, the peo
ple will in November or the legis
lature In 1933 make it "too late"
for the state board. In fact If some
definite progress is not made at
the next meeting of the hoard the
governor will be justified in seek
ing its reorganization.

h
"George Is a useful member of
society In this small community;
he gelds and marks cattle, breaks
horses - In, and tames cows , for
milking, assists in finding and
driving cattle -in short, he un
derstands all and every sort of
singular business; few things are
deemed by him Impossibilities;
lem as a whole. There is no effort
to help one institution or another
except to fulfill its highest des
tiny. There Is no desire to nulla
up one locality at the expense of
any other.-There is no purpose to
promote or to injure any individu
al connected with the educational
system ot the state. And there is
no desire to commit sabotage on
the work of the fine tody of indi
viduals making up the state board.
The substitute form Is submit
ted to the state board for its con
sideration and to the people of the
state for discussion, not with per
sonal pride of opinion, but solely
as a contribution for the wise and
sound reorganisation of the higher
educational system of the state. It
should be compared not with the
old form of organization but with
the Frankenstein SYSTEM of the
state .board. We must remember
the purposes for which our schools
are established and maintained,
and that Is to give education and
training primarily to- young peo
ple. Incidentally to adults. The
state supports these Institutions;
and they must be conducted essen
tially as educational ilants. They
must not be starved through lack
ot proper support. They must not
be made the football of politics;
above all they should not be erect
ed into a Frankenstein SYSTEM
which Invites Intrigue, diffuses re
sponsibility, and dilutes the es
sences of education. Oregon's edu
cational problem will not he set
tled until It is settled right. We
have no faith at all in the plan of
the state board; we foel that the
Zorn-MacPherson measure Is too

ant lastly. In the words of one ot
the settlers; George is not a man
to be trifled er fooled with. I felt,
when I had him for my guide, that
there were few difficulties thst he
could not 'overcome. He la full as
much ot an. Indian in habits as a
white man can be. He told me he
bore the. Indians no love, and is
Indeed, a terror to them, having
not infrequently ' applied ' Lynch
law to some, ot them with mueh
effect. '
"The account he gave of him
self is, that he was born of Eng
lish parents, but became, before
he had grown up, more than halt
Indian, and was now-fully, their
match. I will add that he is quite
equal to them In artifice. He pass
es tor the best lasso-thrower in
the country, and Is always ready
to eat, sleep, or frolic: his wife
and children are to him his trap
pings. He has with all this many
good points about him. I have seen
him, while traveling with me, dart
off for half a mile to assist a poor
Indian boy who was usable to
catch his horse, lasso the horse,
put the boy on, and return at full
gallop. All this was done In a way
that showed it to be his every-day
practice; and his general charac
ter throughout the settlement is.
that George is ever ready to help
those in trouble. (U. S.-. Senator
J. W." Nesmlth spoke highly and
affectionately ot George Gay. He

Nesmlth, perhaps the richest in

land and large herds ot stock.
