Gov. Lind's Plan,
1t flakes High School and University Courses
Continuous.

| The state high school board last week
| had up for consideration proposition
| made by Gov. Lind to connect the
schools more closely than ever with the
university by making the courses through
| the schools and into the university con-
tinuous The plan involves the abol-
ton Of examinations, which the COVER
nor considers Il great evil. He would
have inspectors see that the general
quality of the work performed by the
high schools IS up to standard, it being
assumed that if such is the case the pu-
pills will be doing good work. The mat
ter was referred to the special commit
tee consisting of President Northrop of
the university and Superintendent Lewis.
The state high school fund is not suf-
tic1ent to go around 10y twelve schools.
Schools which have only recently quail
fed may be given funds at the expense
of others or the standard efficiency may
be raised, thus reducing the number en-
titled to participate.
+. E. Dove, President of the Com
mercial Travellers Association, testified
before the Industrial Commission on the
10Th:
That the trusts havo thrown out of
employment more than $4,000 statesmen
and have reduced the salaries of more
than $4,000.
That they have thus 'saved" upward
of $114,000,000 a year, of which $50,
100000 comes from salaries, $27, 00O,-
900 from the railroads, and $2S,OOO,OOO
from hotels.
That the public "benefts" from these
ceremonies is a general rise of prices -
iron pipe, 100 per cent; ironware, 33
per cent; furniture, 80 per cent. rubber
goods, IA per cent; window glass, 100
pei cent; common soap, rs to so cents
a box, &C., &c.
Mr. Dove has obtained his figures
from the most reliable sources. His pre-
sentiment of facts IS therefore valuable.
Part of his statement-the figures of
| reductions in cost of production-ar ar
| guments for the trust. But on the 9TH
CT hand, what of the rises in the price OF
goods, what of the closing of the avenues
of industry to competition2
