| each, one-third of the board to go out
of Office every four years.
mo names have yet been suggested
to the president for the board of CON
troll, and il may be that none will be
suggested TO him by us. Working
with the board of control. we shall
provide in the bill that there shall
be an advisory board made up of one
delegate from each state university
and in states where there is no state
university we want the delegate on
the advisory board designated by the
legislature of that state.
such system of government. we
believe, would be found to be nation
ally representative at. all times in
making up the policy of the univer-
sity. We shall provide in the bill
that the advisory board may at any
time hold up the action of the board
of control until the latter board has
reconsidered such action and reen-
acted il if called upon to do so by
the advisory board. Majorites will
rule.
Under such a system the south
will have just as much to say about
colored students as Indian states
would have to say about Indian stu
dents as any other sections, and so
on.
I'VE shall provide in the bill that
the advisory board shall hold public
sessions annually in Washington.
This would be an institution for
advanced work 1t will compare,
when established, with the Univer-
sity of Paris and the University of
Berlin. The latter. has 1900 stu
dents. who come from all over the
world. One of the advantages of such
university in Washington wOul1
be its attraction to students of for
eign countries, who. by a residence
here, would be influenced by our
ideas and affairs in which they would
take part and which they would OBJ
serve at close range.
eve shall probably have more than
1900 students in this national uni
versity here at Washington, some day.
All nations will come TO us, for the
sake of what we will have to offer.
We shall be placed like a city on a
hill.

WEEDS AND GRASS MENACE
Suburban Residents of East Moline
Warned of Fire Danger.

Warning OF danger from weed and
grass fires has been served by Fire
Marshal Osborn of East Moline on
residents in some of the outlying ad-
ditions. particularly the Cottage Grove
section Several fires have started
during the recent period of dry wealth
er which narrowly missed reaching
dwellings. In a number of parts of
the city il is impossible to reach resi-
dences with city water and in the
event OF fire they would undoubtedly
be destroyed. The cooperation OF
citizens is asked in cleaning up rub
bish and taking other measures to
avert danger from running fires.
