The communication of President Bur
roughs, Of Wabash College, setting forth
the position of the nonstate schools and the
request which the friends of those schools
will make of the Legislature win be read
with interest. 1t is written in excellent
temper. War upon the schools which re-
ceive aid from the State is not proposed,
but legislation is desired which will secure
fair treatment for the graduates of both
state and nonstate schools. The friends of
the nonstate Schools ask that the Board of
Education shall be appointed as are other
state boards and as are boards of educa-
ton in Massachusetts, Michigan and other
States-by the Governor. At the present
time Indiana has most remarkable provi-
sion for the selection of its Board of Edu-
cation Very properly, the superintendent
of public instruction is a member of the
board, but there is no more reason why the
presidents of the three institutions receiv-
ing state aid should be ex officio members of
the board than there is that the presidents
of Butler, Wabash and Hanover should be-
long to it. That the beard should be COM
pleted by adding the superintendent of the
schools in the three largest cities is taking
from the state all authority over the APP
pointment and comforting it upon the
school boards in these cities. The better
way, in fact, the only manner of appoint
ment which is logical and in conformity with
the practice of states, is to vest the ap-
pointment in the Governor, with no other
limitation than that the board shall be nom
partisan and that men and women who are
regarded as educators shall be selected.
This is the ground which the nonstate
school people take. The Journal believes
that it is so fair and reasonable that the
Legislature will give it the force of law.
