In submitting 10 the chief Of engineers
of the United States army a report on

In making the estimates the revenue
produced in 1906 was used in attain
ing a comparison with the house bill,

were much larger, in arriving at a
comparison of the possibilities under

Concluding the reading Of a pre-
pared statement, he criticised the
amendments proposed by Daniel for a

sage submitted to the state legisla-

issue with some of the statements
made in the recent resolutions adopt
ed by the State Board OF Control re-
garding differences with the state
Board of Education. He points out
that the board of education did not
mean any reflection on the Board of
Control. and that it is only right that
there should be some higher power
than the latter board.
His message in full is as follows:
THE MESSAGE.
State of Florida, Executive ONCE,
April 10, 1909
Gentlemen of the Legislature:
Your attention is respectfully in
vfted to the following extract from a
recent communication from the Board
of Control:
But for the future, if the legisla
ture of Florida would have a univeT-
sity free from control in matters OF
detail by the Board of Education. the
members of which are not and cam
not, in the nature OF things, because
of other duties, be familiar with the
work and with the teachers employed.
which we believe was the intention Of
said Chapter 1884, tneh Il is ncum
bent upon il to so amend Chapter
1884 so that the Board of Control
shall be supreme in the selection OF
presidents and teachers, apd in the
detail management of the institution
of higher education established and
supported by the state Unless this
be done, Florida will he practically

power by comforting upon another
board, to-wit: the State Board OF
Education. the appellate and super
yisory power TO set aside any seiec-
ton made by the Board of Control,
and thereby practically to dictate the
selection OF a president or any

University would accept employment

GAVE SUPERVISORY POWERS.
Upon the advice of the attorney
general. the State Board of Educa-
ton decided that Chapter 1854 did
give supervisory powers 10 said board.
The board unanimously decided that
change in the presidency of the
University of Florida was advisable
and would be for the best interests OF
that institution. This is the first and
only time in four years that the State
Board of Education has seen fit 10
make use of such powers. As to
whether 1T is unreasonable to expect
that man suited to be president of
the University would accept employ
ment by the Board of Control, sub
ject TO be discharged at any time by
the Board Of Education il is TO be
observed that whether it is -unFea-
