SINGLE BotRo.. .s,neLe PURPOSE.

Senator DeWolf. Of Grundy county
legislature which ought to pass the
board of education bill to establish one
schools instead of the separate boards
of trustees as at present. All Mr. De-
Wolf attempted was TO change the
name OF the state normal school so as
to include the word college and there
by enable members of its faculty to
qualify for Carnegie's old age pro-
fessors' pension fund, but what the
senators feared was that the bill
sought to release the school from It's
statutory obligations to specialize as
normal school and they voted De-
VOLTS bill down.
The vote was an emphatic decision
in favor of holding each of the three
state schools strictly to its special line
and this is what the single board of
education scheme seeks to do. At
present the school at Cedar Falls. the
college at Ames and the university at
Iowa City, managed by independent
boards of trustees. all strive to en-
large their fields, to increase their
activities even in the specialties which
properly belong to one of the other
naI-
lature in their efforts to get money
with which to expand until the fierce
hausted the patience of veteran mem
bers of appropriation committees.
Legislators and educators may agree
that agriculture and technology should
be specialized at Ames, pedagogics at
Cedar Falls and the liberal arts and
professions at Iowa City, but how to
bring this about with three independ-
ent and competing arrangements has
seemed impossible. The single board
to manage all the state schools offers
the solution. The present independent
teaching forces would not be disturbed
but the financial management and gen.
eral supervision would be co-ordinated.
The university would be set at it's task
of developing the so-called learned pro-
fessions, the college of liberal arts and
theoretical science. Applied science,
agriculture and engineering would be
developed ait Ames and the greatest
science of teaching specialized at Ce-
dar Falls Iowa would have one great
divided into three general
ub-tlivision or schools at three diff
ferent locations, but under one man
agement, and so directed as not to
conflict or overlap unnecessarily in
their work.
This is the purpose Of the bill which
ought to pass at this session. 1t has
been carried over from previous ses-
sions. and has been carefully worked
out by special committee headed by
Senator Whipple, Of Benton county,
which committee spent the better part
of a summer in considering the de-
tails of its plan.

No other inference can be drawn
from reading the above. Either Stead

pericnce, or has become insane in the
matter of spiritistic manifestations.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES,


to all the arguments, pro and con,
about restoring the circle to the ball
lot, and cannot come to the conclusion
that it is necessary. In the first place
frequent changes in the makeup of the
ballot are not advisable because peo-
pie get used to voting in a certain
way and changes confuse them. In
the next place there is no reason why
a man of ordinary fair intelligence
should not vote the ballot as 1t is
now prepared. If he fails to do so and
makes mistakes it is his own fault
and he is not entitled to a particle of
sympathy if he loses his vote" is the
conclusion this excellent weekly ar
rives at.

THE CIRCLE.
rHardin County Citizen.1


To our mind the effort to restore the
circle at the top of the ballot should
be squelched 1t is true that many men
are not familiar with every name on
the ballot, but the circle puts a pre-
MUM on unfamiliarity. The absence OF
the circel tends to force men to study
and become familiar with the merits OF
the various candidates. And it will
hardly be argued that a voter is en-
tirely competent to vote when there
might be horse thief on the ballot
and he not know 1t.
