Northwest Watches Montana.


All the northwest is watching Mon
tana's educational experiment of COM
bined institutions of higher learning,
according to word received in Helena
from the state university at Missoula-
1t is declared that the experiment to
weld into effective unity institutions
previously entirely separated and dis.
tinct, is n of the only experiments
of its kind that has ever been attempt
ed, and that educators throughout the
country will watch results closely.
Chancellor E. C. Elliott has submit
ted to the state board of education a
tentative budget system to account
for expenditures and receipts of the
institutions. The budget, worked u
to the most minute detail, shows the
cost for each department. The board
has authorized the chancellor to pro-
coed with the work.
Members of the board, it is said,
have expressed the belief that the
new system will eventually lead to a
new system of appropriation-one
lump sun being appropriated by the
legislature for the schools, the mon
ey to be expended as laid out in
the budget.
The board has granted DR.. Elliott's
request that an executive secretary
be employed at a salary of $4,000 a
year to look after the financial af-
fairs and other details of the institu-
lions, while the chancellor will de-
vote his energies to upbuilding the
educational features of the institu-
tions.
