A Protest BY The Regents

A resolution passed by tn e
board of regents of Normal schools
last Thursday voices strong pro-
test against the bill now pending
before the legislature proposing a
single state board of education to
replace the several separate boards
and committees which now control
the university. the Normal schools
the Stout training school and the
Mining Trade school.
Several points in their resolution
are we'll worth consideration.
The present method has prevail
ed in nearly all Of our states Tor
more than a hundred years ana
has developed educational institu-
tons of the highest rank.
Each Board, in itself, has as
much work as it can possibly at
tend to; a single board for all in
stitutions could not possibly give
sufficient attention to each insti-
buttons. In t h e C as OF Normal
schools a bureau Of salaried x
perts would have to be provided
for to- take the place Of the non
salaried regents.
The proposed new commission
er's office would bring in antoher
state superintendent, with the ex-
pense of his office and assistants.
In at least one other state where
the central board has been tried.
the office has been a political
plumb and has plunged the educa-
tional system deep into politics.
The rural schools are the ones
which are most in need of help.
This bilU does not provide for
them. and this central board would
naturally be engrossed solely with
the larger institutions The pre-
sent Normal school board, dealing
directly with institutions which
furnish teachers for the rur
schools is therefor deeply interest
ed in the smaller schools almost as
much as with the Normals.

paniment Of t h t monotonous

"spirits" were to blame. At any

When the Democratic campaign
managers drew up their set Of ques-
tions asking local workers concerning
the attitude Of the people toward the
policies OF this administration, they
were careful to make the questions 90
general and indefinite that the local
leaders could give favorable re-
Spouse. The local leader has sense
enough to know that unless his answer
is favorable he will be in as much
disfavor with the Democratic machine
as is q Senator or Congressman who
fails to vote according to the wishes
Of the White House. II the campaign
managers really wanted to get some
definite and useful information. why
didn't they send out an inquiry like
this:
Did the business men Of your vi.

The Department of Justice seems to
be looking forward to a season Of great
activity. In addition to his incidental
labors for the defense of the Riggs
bank case, Attorney General Gregory
Is confronted with the necessity Of
prosecuting two important appeals.
The first Of these is to overthrow the
decision Of the customs court in the
Ave per cent rebate case, and the other
is to set aside the opinion Of the lower
court in favor Of the steel corporation.
1t Is somewhat significant that this
second case should be ordered forward
for prosecution at the very moment
when the trade commission is touring
the country in an effort to reassure
business men Of the friendly attitude
Of the administration. We conclude
that the outgivings Of the trade COM
mission may properly be classified As
''molasses to catch hies," while the
action Of the attorney general is a cor
rect Interpretation Of the real inten-
ton Of the administration.
