desires to briefly supplement that
statement by submitting a few of the
many reasons why this proposition,
which will appear on n of the bal
lots as No. 3, should receive a mega
tive vote at the hands of the elector.
The proposed amendment, if enact
ed into a law, will practically dupll-
cate the educational work properly be-
longing in its accomplishment alone
to the State University, located at
Vermillion many years ago. No other
state in the Union has deemed it nee
essary to maintain more than one
state university. A state does not
need two universities any more than
it needs two capitals, or two COVER
nors, or two supreme courts.
The proposed act is, to be sure, very
simple on It's face, but a careful read
ing of its full text shows clearly and
J c~onclusively that. if passed, it would
give the Aberdeen Normal School d
university grade course of study. 1t
would seem as If South Dakota al
ready had a sufficient number of
schools of collegiate capacity without
increasing the collection or even ad-
vancing one of the normal schools to
a university grade at large public ex'
pense.
This bill was aimed in part as a
blow at the board of regents, but the
law creating the board vested dis
erection of wide magnitude in their
management and control-otherwise,
the board would become a mere orna,
mental a%ppendage rather than a use
full administrative body. The board is
given authority to manage the edu-
cational institutions. The board is
really forbidden to multiply unneces.
sary courses in the educational sys-
tem-practically forbidden to dupli-
cate institutions. The passage of the
referred act will nullify the boards
judgment and decision and throw the
extension doors wide open, leaving a
precedent for all other normal and
other schools in the state to follow.
1t would also appear that the Aber-
deem Normal School has already been
highly favored, in having the State
Industrial Training School attached
to and made a part of it. Surely, such
an addition would be greatly appre-
ciated at Madison, Spear6sh or
Springfield.
The enactment into law of this bill
will tend to encourage further and
perhaps endless lobbying and logroll-
ing in the management of our educa-
tional institutions. A larger loyalty
to those we now have and a greater
liberality in their maintenance, might
be more seeming and digniied and
much more likely to be productive of
profitable results.
Therefore, electors are earnestly
urged to vote NO" when they reach
No. 3 on their ballot containing the
three proposed initiated and referred
laws. BY voting in the negative, the
present educational interests of the
state will be greatly strengthened
rather than become dissipated because
of a division or duplication of their
distinctive work, aims and purposes.
