Of the most sensational of its kim that
has taken place in this section of Ohio
in many years.
When Florence Cavileer Smith died
suddenly March IS last the community
was shocked, for she was said to have
been in excellent health, but no suSpi-
cion was aroused until DR.. Smith, on
at her former home in Newton, Mass.
Miss Merchant for several years was a
nurse in the local hospital, and she was
called in many cases by DR.. Smith. They
were intimate friends before the first
Mrs. Smith died.
ON October 16 the county officials or
dered an examination into the cause of
the death of Mrs. Florence Cavileer
Smith. and the body was eXhumed. DR..

more, probably, before the question is
settled. When the first publicity was
given to the matter, The Muscular
upon its editorial page gave express
sion to the opinion that, first of all,
the question Of consolidation should
be settled. The matter Of location
should not influence the decision Of
the overpoWering question. Since
then, this opinion has been expressed
by other newspapers.
1t is not the purpose Of this article
to discuss the question of consolida-
ton. The question has been pre-
sented ably by the author of the
statement submitted to the state
board of education. The writer Of
this article will endeavor to present
some opinions which have come from
other parts of the state. He realizes
that any expression which comes
from Missoula will be subject to
criticism as being prejudiced. But the
question is one of such tremendous
Importance to the state that the facts,
as far as possible, should be pre-
sented to the public.
There are a good many people here
in Montana now who went through
the agony of the first battle over this
question; we know the splendid light
which Paris Gibson made for a con-
solidated university; we know the
brilliant argument which E. D. Mats,
then state senator for Missoula coun-
ty, made against consolidation. We
know the bitterness which that con-
test ~engendered. Naturally, we fight
shy Of a renewal Of the conflict il the
matter Is to be dragged into politics
again.
Reading the editorial opinions in
the states newspapers, it is interest
ing to note that the older editors-the
ones who had experience in The
former cOntest-approach the subject
gingerly 1t is also noteworthy-and
complimentary to the author of the
argument in the affirmative-that the
editors who favor, off-hand, the con-
solidation proposition do not advance
any original argument, out content
themselves with a summary or a re-
production of the statement presented
to the state board of education by
Lieutenant Governor Allen, but which
Mr.. Allen did not write. On the other
hand, the older editors-as to resi-
dence in the state-have something to
say for themselves. Here, for In
stance, is a paragraph from an edi-
torial in the Great Falls Leader

High Schools Have Claims

schools of the state lack something
very essential.
In a marked degree, I am informed,
a similar falling out occurs in the
later grades of the public schools.
There must be something here, too,
that is lacking.
Montana is not the only state hav>
ing Deer distressed by conditions OF
this sort. The experience has been
almost a common one. But many OF
the other states have set to work ear
nestly to remedy the trouble. Notable
among these has been Wisconsin, and
there is much in the example set by
this progressive state which we OF
Montana might study to good effect.
Particularly worthy of mention are
the vocational schools of Wisconsin.
Many Of these have day and night ses-
sions. To them a special effort Is
made to attract those pupils who had
heretofore dropped out OF the primary
and high schools, and the success in
this particular has been very crafty
ing. There are these schools in SO of
the principal cities of that state, un>
der local administration, and with the
state paying half h expenses in each
instance.
The state of Georgia affords another
good example. In that state the rudi-
ments of agriculture are taught in the
primary schools. There are district
agricultural high schools in each of
the II congressional districts, the
whole system being rounded out by
the state agricultural college at Ath-
ems. A very great majority of the pu-
pills from the country who graduate
from the district high schools return
to the farms from which they came,
made better farmers as well as better
citizens Many of those who take the
higher courses at the state agricultural
college do so for the purpose of fit
ting themselves to teach in the pri-
mary n country schools. The sys-
tenn is thus seen to be very complete,
and in the Is years in which it has
been in operation the state of Geor-
gia has been revolutionized, to its
great social betterment and it's enor-
nous profit materially.
Montana needs reform along the
Wisconsin and Georgia lines much
more urgently thar she needs all the
saving that might be effected by a
consolidation of her institutions OF
higher learning. And the most that
may be said as to savings from this
source is purely speculative. No one
man now, or any set of men, may say
authoritatively that any saving whats
ever will be certainly effected if the
consolidation be made. Nor is there
wanting the experience Of other states
to warn us of a possible contrary re-
| suit.
MY plea is then, in effect, that such
reform in educational matters as may
be undertaken in Montana shall be
based upon the purpose of doine
things concurrently and systemati.
cally. making it very certain as a bas.
is that the great mass Of boys and
girls from the ordinary families of the
state may be substantially aided to
take up the life work of the ordinary
men and women of the future. The
more that may be added unto these
things the better, of course. But first
let us do our duty to the so per cent.

fights and who is favorable to the alb
stract proposition of consolidation:
But there is little prospect that
the suggestion will be adopted.
Neither of the cities in which the
various schools are located viii be
willing to make the sacrifice
asked for the public good, and
any one of them doubtless has
sufficient political influence to
prevent action by the legislature.
1T will be argued that buildings
, have already been constructed
n land secured; that this has
been done at great expense and
it would be impossible to get back
anything like the original cost.
All of which is true.
The mistake was made in the
first place, and it is a mistake
which has been made by prac-
tically every state in the Union.
The schools were located In the
several cities through political
trading and pickering and to pay
political debts rather thar with an
eye to economy and public SER
vice. The question now is Wheth-
er the benefits which would result
justify the enormous expense in
cident to carrying out the change
proposed to the state board.
Another thought suggests itself to
the man who has followed at all
closely the history of the university
and her sister institutions. Every
man who has been in touch with the
work of higher education in Montana
knows that DR.. DuniWay was forced
to resign the presidency Of the uni
versity because Of his advocacy of
consolidation. There can be no ques-
ton as to that. The very board which
forced DR.. DuniWay's resignation Is
resolution in favor Of consolidation.
state board of education, as at
present composed, is a political board.
1t cares more for politics than it does
for schools. The fact that consolida-
ton suggested by DuniWay was re-
garded as wrong, while consolidation
by somebody else is all
right, gives color to the charge, freely
enough made, hat the movement in
favor of consolidation has taken an
aspect just as deplorably political as
was the movement for segregation 20
years ago. If consolidation was wrong
six months ago, what has happened
since then to make it right now? This
Is a question which must suggest
itself to every man who has studied
the question at all. The Billings Ga

| see one of the finest contests that
has been staged recently.
The veteran editor of the Columbus
News is outspoken in his belief that
the time has passed when consolidation
could have been made an issue. He
asks ome questions which will be
raised a good many times before the
matter is decided:
The proposition to consolidate in
one institution of all the educa-
tional institutions of the state
looks good on the face of it, but
will it work? Is it not too late to
make sucil a transformation? The
state is growing rapidly and it is
of such great size that it would
appear that it is q very good thing
to have the state institutions of
learning scattered around over the
vast expanse of territory.
There has been no newspaper in the
state which has given a closer ana1y-
sis of the subject than the Carbon
County Journal, whose discussion goes
more into detail than most of the rest.
N Journals arguments are worthy
of consideration; they raise points
which must be considered before tile
problem is settled The Journals pre-
sentation is original, hut many who
read it will say they have thought Of
these things themselves. IT is good
Ia thinlS OF them again. And then
some more. After reviewing in brief
the history of the institutions of
, higher education in Montana, the
Journal says:
! Now enters the "Associatiou for
Consolidation" with the perplex-
ing problem all solved. They pro-
pose to have a site selected for
the Greater University" purchase
sufficient grounds, build suitable
buildings, provide adequate equip
ment, and utilize the present
buildings of the four institutions
for some special sort of high
school. And they are going 10 do
it all without my expenditure by
the state. The matter Of a site
would be left to some educators
from the far east in order to es~
cape local prejudice.
The plan sounds well, theories
usually do. Perhaps this plan is
nearer right than the present
way. The writer is not qualified
to pass Judgment upon it.
But there are some considera~
tions which, should not be over
looked. Whey they appeal for the
consolidation on grounds OF pro-
Niding a big university onIY, they
are on faulty grounds, Modern
civilization has already run wild
over the higness Of its creations.
The big city. the big manufacture
ing plants. the big corporations,
the big political machines, are all
these evils to be followed by the
big university?
ManifeStly the more gathering
together of great numbers of
young people will not result In the
most perfect fruit of education.
And experience proves that the
cost of education per student, on
n first class basis, is less in the
college with an attendance of from
500 to 1900 than 1t is in the ones
of 5000, This has been shown on
careful tahulations taken from in
stitutions all owe the country. AS
