idea an arraignment of President
Charles r. Van Hise, and Senator
Bennett said that such debate was i'll
advised. Mr.. Van Hise, he said, had
appeared before the committee to give
ii the benefit of a frank and honest
discussion of the subject under con-
sheraton. More than thet, Mr.. Van
Hise offered constructive suggestions
to the committee, and the disposition
to make a personal attack upon him
evidently did not make a hit with
tho committee, despite the fact that
the committee is strongly disposed to
favor some change in the administra-
tion of affairs as they relate to the
state university, the normal schools
and the Stout training school.
At the close of the hearing on the
Van Gordon bill, it was announced
that the committee would draft new
oil. It has not been intimated to
what extent the Van Gordon measure
VIII be modified in the substitute, but
it is likely that the ideas Of President
Van Hise will receive very serious
consideration in the new measure.
President Van Hise said that he was
opposed to any change in the present
system which would result in the
establishment of a salaried board to
have supervision of the business af,
fairs of the university. He was op-
posed to the abolition of separate and
independent boards which could give
special attention to the interests of
the university, the normal schools
and the Stout training school,
Makes TWO Specific Suggestions.
He offered two specific suggestions
to the committee; one to provide for a
board of estimates and appointments
TO arrange a budget for all educational
institutions of the state; another to
create a commissioner of education TO
make a study Of the whole subject of
education in the interest of the great
est efficiency in the various branches.
including the common schools 1t
seemed tc be generally agreed that
the common schools of Wisconsin
have not received their share of the
money appropriated for educational
purposes, and that these schools
should be improved for the reason
that they represent the only university
that is known to the great majority
of Young men and women.
Some of those who appeared for the
central board idea made charges
against the university, alleging that
the institution maintains a lobby be-
fore the legislature, that some of the
professors give no more than eleven
hours a week to their work and that
there is extravaganza in administra-
ticn

Hise. 'Tf any professor comes before

wishes, AMI against the wishes of the

Raps Military Drill at University.
The report of Dr.. William H. Allen
OH the survey of the University of
Wisconsin to the state board of public
affairs form was given out This is
tho report to the board and not the
report of the board to the legislature.
Every angle of the activities of the
university and criticism of what the
university is doing that it should not
do and what it is not doing that it
should do is made in the report 1t
covers some one thousand five hun
dred legal pages.
One of the most important recon-
foundations of the investigator is
suggestion to abolish compulsory mill
tary drill. There is nothing in the
university's relations with the federal
government to make military drill
necessary. Because of this depart
ment, says the report, the efficiency
of the department of physical train
ing is reduced three-fifths; the same
amount of time spent in teaching the
arts of peace and method of efficient
citizenship would do more to advance
the interests of the state.
At the close of last weeks work, the
legislature adjourned over until the
day after election, as most of the
members desired to return home to
vote and to devote little time to per-
sonal affairs.
Farmer members of the legislature
are back Of plan to adjourn from
May 1, to Jan. so that they may re-
turn home during the busy summer
season. Administration leaders, how
ever, will oppose such a recess, and
! will urge the members to remain here
until all of the business of the session
has been disposed of. Most of the
members feel that the legislature will
adjourn sine die not later than June l
