Des Moines, March 1.-THE one

committees which visited the State
College at Ames in coming out point

distinct shock to many OF the old and
conservative friends of the education
81 institutions who believe that no way
can be good unless it is time tried.
Now the SUBJ committee which visited
Ames, consisting of Senator Durham
OF Delaware, and Messrs. Buchanan, OF

reported in a supplementary report on
their visitation as follows:

has been heretofore done; that only
under such management can the most
urgent needs be known and met, and
such institutions be assured OF their fair
and appropriate share Of the state
money to do the work they should do.
I'VE believe that such management
will ultimately do away with much
unnecessary duplication in work and
unnecessary expenditure of money. and
will put the proposition of the ex-

for educational institutions on a prop
or business basis.
