SUPT. CARY'S THIRD SHOT.
Continued from first page

SIN the midst of all this, the student
gets on as best he can, and there Is
little wonder that students complain OF
scant attention and poor instruction,
notwithstanding the large cost of the
university. Sometimes the students
come in contact with splendid, self
sacrificing men who give the best of
themselves to their students an6 are
Jealous first of all for their welfare.
Not infrequently such men lose caste
with their fellow workers, not to men,
ton university officials, and are looked
upon as "merely teachers" unfit for
promotion.
Another reason for the large
amount of poor teaching that is done
in the university, is that nobody in
authority has the temerity to 60 into a
class taught even by student who is
wholly inexperienced, and give any
suggestions as to how the work should
be done. In other words, there is no
personal supervision in the university,
with the exception of little here and
there within department itself. Any
manufacturing plant run on so crude a
plan would turn out very inferior
product. A capable man could easily
earn large salary for the state by SUI
pervising the teaching of the UNIVERSE
ty if the institution would submit TO it
and cooperate heartily"

VAN HISE'S REPLY.

"Such questions, purely educational
in character, as methods of teaching
departmental organization, sizes of
classes in particular subjects, and pro-
portion of time to be devoted to teach
ing and to research in each department
cannot be discussed 10 advantage in the
columns of daily newspaper.
sit is futile to discuss in detail the
fragmentary statistics and misleading
statements which the state superin-
tendent present in his last appeal to
the public. 1t may be noted in pass
ing, however, that the state superin-
tendent in this letter takes stand
against progress by belittling research
and investigation for the advancement
of knowledge just as he did in previous
letters by arguing against the use OF
experts in matters of government.
Had his views in regard to research
been accepted by the universities OF
the world in the past, we should still
be in medieval darkness.
"Without research we should not
have had aseptic surgery, scientific ag-
riculture, the telephone or wireless
telegraphy. Is it not strange that the
head of public education in the state
should take such position in relation
to research and the advancement of
knowledge?
GAS a member of the board of re-
gents the present state superintendent
has had for number of years, and
still has ample opportunity to present
to the other regents all the conditions
in the university which he believes
should be changed. Moreover, the re-
gents, as the governing body of the
university, has the power, when con-
WINGED by the state superintendent, to
change these conditions.
"If the present state superintendent,
therefore, has the best interests of the
university at heart and truly desires to
correct what he considers faults in it.,
he knows that he needs clIy to con-
vince the other regents, who are re-
preventative men from all paris OF the
state, capable of Judging more accur-
ately of the truth of his charges and of
the need of changes than is the general
public with no more evidence before it
than the inaccurate and misleading
material which Mr.. Cary gives them
ia these letters"
