WHAT SHALL WE CALL 1T?

President Craighead asks that the consolidation plan be
not called the Craighead plan" He says he is not
ashamed of the plan but he doesn't want to prejudice any
thought of prejudicng anybody against the plan by refer
ence to it as the Craighead plan The term was adopted
merely as a convenience. 1t seemed to us a fitting desig-
nation.
But what shall we call it? A somewhat appropriate desig-
nation has been given by some Montana men who have dis
cussed the plan. They have called it a pipe dream. That
term may be appropriate but it will hardly do for use in
dignifed discussion of the matter.
DR.. Craighead referred to it, Saturday., as the plan pro-
posed by the state board Of education.' lnasmuch as
several members of the state board OF education have told
us that they knew nothing of the plan until it was sprung
upon them with a degree of suddenness that took their
breaths away, this designation does not seem to be accur-
ad1c. +;o Inc p + ws was nr mot pd0 pc f6a s 1y the boa srdte 00ar0 OF
We might call it 'the Allen plan" but we think this
would be just as inaccurate as the reference to it as the
plan proposed by the state board OF education., The for
mer lieutenant governor didn't propose the plan-we are
sure Of that. 1t was probably sprung upon him with all
the sensational a%bruptness that characterized its appear
ance elsewhere. Then, too, the former lieutenant gov
ernor may not be for the plan all through the campaign.
He is for it now; he is the president OF the association
which fathers the campaign for the consolidation. But
the former lieutenant governor is a good dea! OF a chame-
leon; he can change color on short notice. We have seen
some of his lightning changes during the past six months.
While DR.. Craighead objects to the Craighead plan as
the designation of the campaign, we object to the plan
proposed by the state board OF education. The former
possesses the merit of accuracy while the latter is entirely
wrong. THE Allen plan won't do and pipe dream is
barred. What, then, shall we call it?
We might open a contest with a prize for the person who
suggests the best name. This would entail the consump-
ton of considerable time, but it would give us the most
popular name, which would be something.
1t is a strange situation. Here is a document which DR..
C%raighead says has been characterized as "a state paper
equal to that of Thomas Jefferson" Yet we have no
name for it.
1t is not correct to call it the greater university PLAN
because there are several better plans than this which have
for their object a greater university.
Will somebody tell us what plan this is? Perhaps this
would throw light upon some important features OF the
campaign in support Of the visionary proposition.

lRnzeman Chronicle.l

DR.. Craighead, in advocating a con-
solidated university for Montana, fire.
uuently points to Wisconsin university
as an illustration of what Montana will
have if the -four state schools are only
consolidated.
The comparison is unfair in every
way, for conditions in Montana and
Wisconsin are widely different.
Wisconsin is a thiCkly, populated
state, and 65 per cent Of the entire stu
lent body in that institution comes
from within 100 miles of Madison.
The proportion of students drawn
from the 100-milc radius, holds good
with nearly every college in the coun-
try, including the state schools of
Montana. If the greater university'
must depend on drawing the larger
part Of its students from within 100
miles of its location, how long will it
require for it to rival Wisconsin and
Minnesota in size.
Then, again, it cost more than
$1,000 600 to run the University of
Wisconsin last year. DO the taxpayers
Of Montana want the legislature to de-
vote all of the states revenue to the
support of DR.. Craighcad'S greater uni
vcrsity?
But the greatest factor of all in the
upbuilding of the University of Wis
consin was that it had a DR.. Van Hise,
and as far as can be learned DR.. Craig
heads scheme of consolidation has
provided for no Van Hise.
Had Dr.. Craighcad wanted a fair eX-
ample of what a consolidated institu-
ton in Montana would be, he could
have pointed to Idaho. the state i'm
mediatcly west of us, or to Wyoming,
the state on our southern border, both
Of which have had consolidated inSti-
tutions for many years, but neither of
which would serve as an induCement
for others to follow their example.
In fact, in both of these states there
is a strong movement on foot to eyre
gate the agricultural and vocational
departments from the classical and
professional, as it is the universal eX-
pericnce of all small colleges that the
vocational branches do not thrive in a
small Institution which caters to the
old classical system.
The people of Montana will do well
to pause and investigate before they
sacrifice their splendid agricultural
and engineering school for the sake of
obtaining Il mCasly little one-horSe
university like Idaho or Wyoming.

BURNING MONEY!.

For the past decade the fire losses
in the United States and Canada, leaV-
ing out of account the San Francisco
disaster. nave averaged more than
5000, G00, 600 a year. The average for
the last five years has been $225,-
600, 900.
In 1911 ard 1910 the losses We're
greater than $235, goo, 900 each year. In
1872, the aggregate dropped to the level
of the five-year average, 1925, 100000.
The decrease is not as great as it
should be, but it shows a movement in
the right direction. 1t gives ground
for hope that the tide has turned and
that our great national waste will
gradually be reduced to reasonable
proportions. The present burden is
too great for the nation to carry.
Even a stationary fire loss would
be an Improvement, for it would be a
material gain, considering the increase
in wealth, property and population.

MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1913,
FOR THE FARMER.

Representative Brewer of Missoula
county has introduced a bill at Hell
ena to provide for loans to the farm
ers of the state, the money to come
from the permanent funds of the state.
1t is a bill which is worthy of the
most careful consideration. At pres
cnt there is not Il dollar Of state
money loaned in Montana upon farm
mortgages. In North and South Da-
kota, practically every cent of the
permanent state funds have been
loaned to the farmers for the past
the security. The advantages to the
farmer are obvious; he gets money at
gets the benefit of the use of the funds
the interest does not go east.
The noteworthy feature of the
Brewer bin is the provision for the
division of the available funds among
the counties of the state. The state
land board makes this apportionment
n the money is sent to the county
treaSurers. a farmer desiring a loan
makes application to his county com
miSSioners. He is not Obliged to make
the sometimes long journey to the
state capital. The county treasurer
holds the mortgage and collects the in
tcrcst. The counties are responsible
TO the state for the funds intrustcd to
them.
Farmers may obtain this none for
a period of five years at a rate of six
per cent. No loan will be made upon
and worth less than ten dOlalrs an
acre. No more than five thousand
dollars will be loaned to any one per
son or firm. The mortgages may be
forccloscd, if necessary, in tho GUS
tomary manner
The plan places cheap mnocy ~ tho
disposal of the farmer and brings ii
close to his home. lie does his bust
ness at his county seat. The measure
deserves the support of those who
have at heart the development Of tho
states agricultural interests. It will
hasten this development wonderfully.

AN EXPLANATION

The "one stirring incident in the long
session with which The Muscular
closed it's report of proceedings at the
chamber of commerce luncheon was so
incompletely reported as to do some
injustice to Professor Palmer and
President Craighead.
Judge Evans had asked President
Craighead the number of students at
the University of Illinois, and when
the president hesitated as though I'M
able to recall the number readily,
Professor Palmer gave the number,
and stated Illinois has four or five
great universities while Montana has
none. In a similar way many others
had answered questions, and this an
sWer of Professor Palmer's can hardly
be called al "interruption' more han
other
In fairness to Professor Palmer and
President Craishead, their definition
of a university should have been given
in connection with The statement that
Montana has no university. With their
understanding of what constitutes a
university they simply stated a fact
which all will admit.
as lHe lelil is uSeu with precision
by educators now, no institution should
be called a university which does not
and cannot offer courses in advanced
research work leading to the Phi. d.
degree. Because of being first in this
field Johns Hopkins is often called the
first American university, though
there were many so-called universities
of older date.
A university, as the term is now
used with accuracy, is a group of COL
leges, or they may be called schools or
departments, for undergraduate and
professional education, with a graduate
school for advanced original work re-
CURED for the Phi. d. degree. For il
lustration. the old Yale college of my
day, though it Their had several profess
sional schools, was not called a univer-
sity before the addition of the graduate
! school.
This incident at the luncheon arose
merely from the use of a word in diff
ferent meaning. 1t would not seem
worth attention except for my hearing
of ill-feeling and ill-talk arising from
it, and it seems very unfortunate for
so really trifling an incident to be
magnifieG by lack of full report and
understanding into an expression of
disloyalty to the institution.
This | know was as far from the
thought of Professor Palmer n Pres
ident Craighead as from that of any
one else present.
The propriety of making this expla-
nation was suggested; and, while !
shall be glad if there is no need of
my doing so, | did not like to refuse.

NORMAL SCHOOLS

Some reasons why the State Normal
school should not be consolidated with
the state university:
Eirst-Thc almost uniform policy Of
the state is to maintain separate nor
mai school for the training of teachers
for the public schools. h only cX-
ceptions are some of the southern
states where the public school systems
have not been well developed, and two
or three western states with small pop-
ulation. To make the normal school a
department of a consolidated uniNef-
sity is to reverse the best educational
practice of the states with the best
common schools. States like WiSCon-
sin, Illinois. California, Minnesota and
Missouri, with large consolidated uni
versities, have separate normal schools
as follows: Wisconsin, s: Illinois, s.;
California, 5; Minnesota, 3; Missouri,
3; PENNSYLVANIA maintains II state
normals; New York . and Massachu-
sets Q. Among newer states of the
northwest. Washington has 3, Idaho 2,
North and South Dakota each 3 state
nOrmals.
Second-The attendance at the state
normal schools of a state should equal
that of all the other departments Of
higher and professional education COM
bined. There are more than one-half
million teachers in the public schools
of the United States, more han all
the lawyers, doctors and engineers
combined, and not SO per cent of them
have had normal training. According
to the report Of the United States com
missioner OF education for 1911, the at
tendance at the state normals for these
states was as follows: Wisconsin,

FOR FAIR PLAY

Editor Missoulian:-I am in receipt
of Il letter from a member of the uni
NcrSlty faculty urging me, as an
alumus of the University of Illinois, to
lend my support to the present con-
.SoIluation propaganda. | am writing
now, not TO oppose consolidation, but
to remind those who are pushing the
project that conclusions must be based
on sound premises, not on sophomore
appeals to sentiment, and that many
causes as good as this have been
Killed by loose statement and vision

Illinois is the fastest growing state
university in the country; and the
communication which | have before
attributes this success to CONSOLE
dation. AS a matter of fact, the Uni
Versity of Illinois is not consolidated.
The university is at urbana; the

medical department at Chicago: the
normal colleges at other points.
Even If the University of Illinois
were consolidated, would it logically
follow that it's growth and efficiency
are due to consolidation? Many I'LL
nois men are more inclined to believe
that the success of their alma mater
is due to the splendid resources and
public support of the state, which en-
able the institution to call from other
universities men of wide reputation,
rare ability, sane counsel and high
ideals. These men cumulate respect
for the university and additional sup
port.
Montana professors must frankly
admit three things: Consolidation is
not the first need of any university;
great institutions have beer built
without it; and. at present, the en-
dency, as outlined in President Tay-
Tors speech at Vassar last year, is
away from Capitalization. With a
university at Ann Arbor an agricul-
tural school at Lansing, a school Of
mines at Houghton, and normal
schools at other places, Michigan has

sion to consolidation as an educational

In America he did not mention 1t.
The mere fact that an institution
is big, or consolidated, or self-sup-
porting, does not MAKE it great. If it

President Garfield once said: "My
idea of a college is a log with DR..
Hopkins at one end and a student
at the other" If the present method
of educational reform in Montana per-
sists (to paraphrase Garfield a little)
my idea of the University of Montana
is a log-rolling with a faculty at one
end and nobody at the other.

Missouri, 5,645; New York, 5,S42.
This registration at the normal
schools equalcd that of the state uni
versities on the average. The same
year Arizona had but 1875 students in
its consolidated university and 339 in
it's two state normals, and Idaho had
SIT students in it's consolidated mi
versity and SOC in its two state nor
mails. Wyoming and Nevada have
combined their normal school with
their state universities, and they en-
rolled only % and % students, respec-
lively, last year, During the past 10
years normal school attendance has in
creased from 47,421 to 1856. The va
rious states are making normal school
training more m more essential in
the granting of teachers certificates.
The growth Of this kind of school will
be more rapid in the next decade than
in the past 10 years.
Third-A necessary part of every
normal school is a public school or
model school for observation and prac-
tiCc teaching. For this reason normal
schools should not have IA large at
tendance. Large numbers cannot be
accommodated with practice schools,
and a model school is just as essential
for the training of a teacher as a hos
pital is for the training of a physician.
The state normal school of Kansas
grew to more than 2,000 students, and
became unWieldly. Two more state
normal schools have recently been cs-
tablished in Kansas. Everyone who
has studied the shortcomings of our
public schools knows that better
trained teachers is their greatest need.
Fourth-Normal school students diff
fer from university students, and the
studies i'll the normal course differ
from that of the university courses.
Those prepared to teach in the public
schools should study reading, arithme-
tic, geography and other common
branches, and especially the methods
of teaching them. The tendency in the
university is to substitute higher
mathematics, science m language for
these foundation subjects. The fire.

i sity graduates fail to pass the county

teachers, school supcrintcndrnts and
certain kinds of specialists. Teachers

be content to teach in a country or vii

This is Bozeman's busy week. AL
most the entire period is to be given
up to state conventions which will be
held in the Sweet Pea city. OF special
local interest to western Montana is
the annual gathering of the State
Horticultural society. This will begin
Tuesday. The 1918 meeting is the first,
we believe, that the society has ever
held in Bozeman. The local arrange
ments there are in the hands of the
officers Of the state experiment sta
ton and the easy availability of their
