When speaking about the board of
regents last night, DR.. D. J. Taylor,
one the members, said:
The men on the board assumed all
the duties OF ell the separate boards
for each educational institution. There
are now ten, and the board has so
s~ystematized the work that the bust
ness of all is concluded in a session of
from to three days in sessions held
once a month.
Governor Vetoed commissioners Pay,
Under the law the board is author
lied to have q commissioner of edu-
cation who acts as field man for the
board: The appropriation for his pay
was vetoed by Gov. Frazier, an act
which hampered very seriously the
work of the board and of the educa-
tional institutions.
There was also authorized an edu-
cational survey for the purpose of CO.
relating and co-ordinating the work in
the several institutions. This work
has been completed and the classes
have been 80 reorganized that work
will not conflict or be duplicated In
necessary, and the institutions are now
in a position to take care Of SO per
cent more students without increasing
the teaching force. :
1.-THE purchase Of all commodities
DR.. Taylor added, Including coal
electric lighting, dormitory and Office
supplies, ETC., have been let on com.
petitive bids, and this has meant ar
enormous saving to the state. Thu
budget system of financing was also
adopted, and, aside from keeping the
expenditures within the ANTICIPATED
revenues at eachhcollege, they have
been enabled to. wipe out deiciencie,
which existed when the board assumed
Its duties. Many matters have beer
handled In business like manner,
You may say that the board feel
IT has done much work Of which tn,
taxpayers have no. conception, ant
with which they should be made &C
quainted.".
