unpaid. Another question is what
shall be embraced under the powers
and jurisdiction of the board.
There has been shown a strong de-
sire throughout the state to nave the
new board take over all educational
activities from the common schools up
to the university. The feeling here is
that it might be wiser to limit the con-
troll of the board at this time to the
institutions originally named, which
includes he university, the normal
schools, the Stout training school and
the mining school. Their, it is said.
if it is found the new system works
well, as expected, another legislature
could extend it so as to take in every
thing in an educational way.
The committee is waiting for drafts
of bills which President Van Hise will
present for their consideration. 1t Is
the desire to consider all together.
President Acknowledges Resolution.
President Wilson has acknowledged
the legislatures adoption of a resolu-
ton of respect and sympathy in his
neutrality policy. The president wrote
Secretary of State Donald as follows:
my Dear Mr.. Secretary: May l not
express to you, and through you to the
Wisconsin legislature, my very hearty
appreciation of the generous words of
the joint resolution of which you have
sent me a copy? 1t heartens me great
ly to know that l have your sympa-
thetic appreciation and good will, and
thank you and all concerned very cor
daily.
WOODROW WILSON"
Governor Wants Law Amended.
Gov. E. L. Philip opposes an appeal
by the state to the United States SUI
preme court in the corn syrup label
case, recently lost by the state in the
federal district court. Instead he will
call upon the legislature to amend the
Wisconsin law to correspond with the
federal law on labels, emitting the pro-
vision that the companies must
schedule the ingredients of corn syrup.
