Following are some of the letters
which were received last week by the
state university faculty in connection
with the campaign for consolidation
These letters, it is understood, were
written in response to statement
sent out by the faculty. Those which
are given below are but portion OF
those received but their tenor is the
same throughout.
From George h. Clark. state super
intcndent of Schools Arkansas.
1t is evident that this plan will
avoid all unnecessary Implications in
overhead expenses and administration
charges that obtain whore separate
institutions are maintained in differ
cnt localities throughout the state.
1t should also have the effect OF cor
relating and broadening the educa-
tiOnal institutions of certain types,
such as the agricultural, normal, med
ical. law and technical schools, by
their close identification with the uni
ycrsity, and this influence should be
reflected in the pupils in giving them
better appreciation of each other and
of the training in the various pro-
| fessions, thus eliminating a certain
amount of classiness which is so often
seen among students when they come
from institutions maintained in diff
| ferent parts Of the state.
II appears to me that the plan for
the consolidation of the various
| schools Of Montana, as set forth IN the
comprehensive report that nave
read is both commcndablc in its con-
ception and thoroughly practicable in
it's application.

From w. O. Thompson, president
Ohio state university.
am very much interested in the
discussions now going on in Montana
concerning the cosolidation of the
institutions. Here in Ohio the expert
ment station was moved 20 years ago
and it may be safely said that it could
not he done if the problem were up
today. The Capitalization of the states
activities in education increases III
favor every year. Where such CEN
tralization has occurred as in Min
nesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois the
best results have been reached. In
every other state where separation eX-
lists there is continuous rivalry OF a
agitation for a change of policy. Mat
ters can be adjusted for few years
but eventually the problem comes up
in some form and there is general re-
grct that the institutions are not
centralized Economy and efficiency
both require this method. After long
wears of established history and ira
dition it becomes impossible to make
the changes and I hope that before
Montana reaches the high tide of edu-
cational prosperity such an adjust
ment would be made as to insure eff
ficiency and economy for all time to
come.

of the campaign of 1908, the democratic

his own pocket, this man Ryan contri-

its credit.
