The water the people OF Bryan are
now forced to drink may be all right
and we may have a veritable health
resort in our midst after we get used
to IT, The only trouble about 1t is, as
the Eagle sees 1t, a good sized bunch
OF our people may be killed off while
we are becoming accustomed to It..

POLITICS IN THE COLLEGE.

The discussion of university affairs
brought about by the clash between
the governor and the board Of regents
will not be Improbable II 1t shall d.
rect general attention to the need for
q reorganization of our system OF
school management.
The board system which prevails in
Texas is perhaps the worst that could
have been devised. 1t combines all the
evils Of political control without any
of its redeeming features. The gov.
ernor has Just enough to say about
the educational institutions Of the
state to enable him to shake them up,
and not enough power to reform them
when they need reforming.
The best plan that has ever been
adopted for the management OF a
state university is to put 1t under the
control OF a non.partisan board. chos'
en- at a different date from executive
officers, and for a period Of sufficient
duration to give stability to the man.
agement. This plan has the merit OF
removing the college from political
control and that is the first essential
to its progress. Morning News.
The plan suggested by the News Is
what might very properly be termed
"a distinction without difference"
A board is q board whether II is ap.
pointed by the governor or elected by
the people. In either case the mem
bers will owe political allegiance
somewhere and the object sought will
not have been accomplished.
The News says under present condi
lions the governor can only say
enough about the educational instltu
lions to enable him to shake them up
and not enough power to reform them
. when they need reforming" II Is to
be fervently hoped the power will
never be placed in the governors
hands TO reform them when they need
reforming. All governors do not look
upon higher education In the same
light. and what one might consider
reformation" the next would regard
as rank heresy. Under rule OF thi:
kind our colleges would be IN politics
in dead earnest and you could never
tell one day what would take place
the next. The blacklist day nur edu
cational institutions ever saw will be
the day they are committed to the
whims and fancies OF the sncceedinl
governors OF the state. Utter chaos
would be the result.
The Eagle heartily agrees with the
News that our schools should bt
emancipated from politics, entirely Il
possible, but II not, as nearly so ms II
Is possible to devise. The plan, how
ever. is yet TO be worked out. as mel
