am pleased with the position you have
taken with regard to the controversy.
1t meets with my approval.
Being absent from Missoula at the
time, | Wa not present at the meeting
of the Alumni association of the uni
V~ersity when the resolutions favoring
consolidation were passed. You will
readily agree that we alumni of the
university are as much, if not more,
interested in this question than any
one else. I want to lend my support
to the side that will be for the best
interests of Missoula and the state
at large, both now and for all future
time.
There are many arguments that can
be urged against consolidation. In the
tlrst place | have my doubts about the
state being in a position to success

large a scale as is proposed. Those

THE PRICE OF APPLES.

Under the limelight of the inquiry
of the Woman's league, which pro-
duced the drop in the price of eggs,
the retailer in apples is now disclosing
the minutiae of his business and the
secrets of his trade. The exposure is
not to the credit of the dealer, but it
lends hope that the apple may be
brought closer to the in a
manner which will increase the de-
mand for this most wholesome fruit.
A barrel of apples costs $2.25. At IS
cents a quart it retails for $13.40-
~reailer, means n~inety-siX separate
sales requiring five minutes of the
salesman's time each. He is paid 20
cents an hour. Rent, taxes, wear and
tear, shrinkage, rotage, paper bags
ninety-six Of them-all these, he points
out, must be taken into account. Then
there is the cost of delivery. Most
people simply will not carry home ap-
ples-or anything else. The market
man must keep a horse or a motor. SO,
altogether, he figures up his nearest
large profit at about IS on the barrel.
Yes, this is about 100 per cent. The
housewives and the retailers do not
agree. The former find 100 per cent
profit at 5 cents a quart: the latter the
same profit at Is cents a quart. A
discrepancy of 800 per cent.
We haven't seen the housewives fig
urcs. The league does not, of course,
deliver. AS to it's rent we know little.
But it has to contend with shrinkage,
rot, much handling to effect sales.
etc. That such a difference in csti-
mates results is puzzling. The dealer
puts up a powerful plea, u he will
fail to convince a great many people.

ly known as colleges. Eminent au-
thority in the way of definition says
that in the United states the name
university has suffered from mac
curate application to institutions of no
more, and often less, equipment than
a college"
1t seems hat the opponents of the
plan for a real university of Montana
are getting terribly mixed up among
themselves as to the meaning of the
various terms used in this discussion.
Is not this due to the fact that the
opponents of his plan assume a self
sufficiency in this matter which is
hardly warranted by their training
for this discussion? Would it not be
we'll to rely upon educational authori-
ties for the definition of such words
rather than to leave their definition
to every Tom, Dick and Harry who
desires to plunge into this discussion?

THAT

We had supposed that Colonel
Aliens conference" was to be a con-
ference. 1t appear it was not even
supposed to be. The former lieutenant
governor hnndpieked a committee
which was to put through a PROPOSE
zion based upon the unnamed plan for
consolidation. In the number of men
thus handpicked, it was found, there
Were several men who are in no man
nnr favorable to the suggested scheme.
These men were barred and the Con
ference" proceeded to ratify the plan
which was not proposed by the state
board Of ~education.' The people who
are opposed were not given a voice.
And SO the conference marched up
a hill and marched down again. The
members discovered that it was not
true that ninety per cent Of the people
of Montana favored the consolidation
proposition. They found an inverse
ratio in this regard.
We are told from Helena, this morn
ing, that the consolidation plan died a

AMPLE WARNING.

Last Sunday, in Helena, q preacher
sounded to his people Il warning
against the iniquities OF society life in
the capital city and in Butte. it was
a grave ~presentmcnt which Mr.. Wolfe
made of conditions which he asserts
exist. The emphatic denial which has
been made does not remove the doubt
created in many minds; unless the
preacher knew of what he spoke, he
should nave remained silent; his terri
bic arraignment must now be sup
ported with evidence or it must be re-
futed with evidence. Until the ques-
ton is settled, one way or the other,
the society people of two large cities
are under grave accusation.
Last sunday appears to have been
n a tor warnings. The newspapers
Which have come from the east contain
reports of sermons and addresses in

have been granted to the state for
building and maintenance Of the in
situations of higher education. Then
again if the present sites are aban-
doned and a new one selected, the
state would lose about 81, 900, 900 in
buildings and grounds. You will also
l1nd that a great many university
presidents throughout the United
States are advocates of the smaller
college, claiming that students get the
best returns there for the time and
money spent, and are better equipped
for life than at the larger ones. Again,
different sections Of the state are low
served with higher educational facili-
tlcs, thereby giving a greater number
OF people these advantages, that would
not be thus served if the institutions
are consolidated. If consolidation is
contaminated, and Missoula should
lose what she already has by reason
to some other city, we would suffer
a loss that we could i'll afford.
1t may not be, but this looks to me
like it might be q movement on the
part OF some to get the institutions
consolidated at some other point than
where they arc at present located. This
question was sprung upon an unsus-
pecting public very suddenly, and the
people of the state have not had an
opportunity as yet to familiarize
themselves with the issues involved.
with all due respect to those who
rather the movement, I am afraid
they nave not taken into considera-
ton all Of the consequences. This is
TOO serious a question to be settled
without full n careful c%onsidera-

SOME REPLIES

Editor Missoulian: viii the Mis-
soulian please give a place to the fol-
owing concerning letters on CONSOLE
dation in your next issue:
DUTY is Duty" Ignoramus may OBJ
tail the number of hours the Upiver-
sity professors have given to class
room instruction by consulting the
schedule of classes at the office. IN
less he avails himself of this source
of information | fear he will remain
as he is, an ignoramus. His insinua-
tons and statements about neglect OF
duty by instructors and students are
important if true, since they are not
true they are not important.
Subscribers statement of the "Obli-
CATION to leave the schools where
they are, because removal would in
jure families in the various towns, de-
serves respectful consideration.
The greatest good to the greatest
number is an accepted principle of
public policy, when conflict of inter-
ests occurs. Whenever a railroad Sc
cures a right of way, injury to adj
Jacent property is d~isregarded. The
residences in Missoula across The
street from the proposed Milwaukee
freight station will suffer injury
without compensation. In such cases
general business interests alwaA $
override private ones. Why, as q
matter of right and obligation, should
general educational interests of the
state be subservient to private and
local interests?
AS to the advantages of smaller
schools, by proper organization and
management there can be secured in
the greater university also. The ideal
university is a group of colleges under
one administration on one campus.
Each of these colleges may and
should have its separate organization
with its faculty and dean distinct.
Within each college there may be
as close supervision and, with suf-
ficlent instructors. as close contact of
student and teacher. The tutorial sys-
TEN at Princeton is being worked out
to secure these ends. Each college may
have its own student activities and
create its own intellectual and social
atmosphere.
For example. 500 students in the col
lege of agriculture, law and medicine
at the state university. may have the
same supervision as If each college

people in high life. A Chicago physi-
clan, addressed the Young Women's
Christian association in Springfield,
Mass, telling his audience that the
gowns worn by women in New Eng
land are wiekeder than those worn by
the women of any European country,
except France, and that Boston is the
most Suggestive" city in America.
A Philadelphia preacher denounced
a well-known society woman of the
Quaker city, because she permitted
her women guests to smoke cigarettes
at one of her entertainments. The

state, with the inestimable advantage
of inspiration and instruction from
other colleges.
Ezra Cornell expressed the univer-
sity idea when he said II would found
an institution at which any man a
get instruction in any subject" At
Cornell the schools as they are there
called, rank in number as follows:
Arts and Sciences, 1881; Mechanical
and Electrical Engineering, 1920; Ag-
riculture, 967 Civil Engineering, $50,
Graduate, $50; Law, 1928; Architecture,
1873; Medicine, 100; Veterinary Medi-
cine, 105.
Though the total number is about
1900, no school has more than about
1000.
The relation of it's various colleges
or schools to a university are analo-
gous to that of the states to the ma
ton. AS each state shares in the
strength and benefits of the whole,
so it is with the separate colleges or
schools of a university.
AS for Mr.. Stockton's counsel for
division and dispersion, Muscular
readers should compar it with the
advice, of university presidents on an
other page.
l have yet to hear of any president
who does not advise consolidation
and of very few professors. Few prop
ositions can meet with universal &C
ceptance.
To whose advise concerning any
subject should we give the greatest
heed? On all other subjects, we give
controlling weight to the advice of
those best qualified by their life work
and experience to give counsel. Why
should we make education and educa-
tional institutions an exception?
Please allow me further space to
comment on the sweeping indictment
of the university faculty made by the
Muscular and virtually, though not
explicitly, by the Chamber of Com
merce.
Such sweeping indictments of whole
organizations or communities because
of objections to individuals are sell
dom if ever just Or fair. If the limits
Of propriety are overstepped by in
dlvlduals in an organization which
has important public duties whose full
fillment is injured by loss of reputa-
ton, there are certainly more APP
propriate, just. wise and useful meth
DDS of censure and restraint than by
a sweeping public il dictment of the
whole organizations. Such a course is
dictated by passion and not by a
reasonable and wise consideration for
the public good.
