THE COST OF DUPLICATION

The committee of experts from the
federal bureau of education, in sub
hitting their report on the higher
educational institutions of Washing
ton to the state legislature, say:
THE word duplication has be-
come a bogy. Many believe it desig-
mates what is tantamount to a crime
in public or institutional manage
ment. One of these is perfectly
harmless, iustifiable, desirable, and
necessary. The other is exceedingly
undesirable, first on the ground of
expense, and second, on the ground Of
the animosities which it engenders. I"
In further comment along this
line, the federal committee remarks
upon the fact that the parity of
standards between the University
and the State College has long been
recognized and is we'll established;
and points out the significant fact
that Notwithstanding this duplica-
ton, Washington ranks twenty
fourth in the United States, on the
basis of the amount spent for higher
education for each $1,000 of wealth.
These figures state the federal
committee, should allay the appre-
hension of those citizens who have
haIiavad that Washington is unduly
extravagant in its support of higher
institutions.
Going into this matter in eonsid-
cradle detail, the federal experts
show that Delaware, having no state
university, but only an agricultural
college, spends more per $1,000 OF

being proud of the silver medal

wealth for higher education, than
any other state in the Union; that
Oklahoma, having both a University
and an agricultural college, spends
the least.
An interesting comparison is made
of Washington with its University
and State College OF equal rank in
the higher educational system of the
state, and Wisconsin and Illinois, in
which all higher education is corre-
lated under a centralized uni
versity," which some few are now
advocating in Washington in behalf
OF economy and unnecessary dupli-
cation" Illinois, with wealth esti-
mated at more than IA billions, is
shown spending annually. for higher
education, nearly 10 million dollars.
Wisconsin, with wealth estimated at
"a little over four billions, is shown
spending nearly five and one-half
millions for higher education. Stat
ing these facts another way, the com
mittee shows that upon higher educa-
ton Delaware spends Sass per
$1,000 dollars of state wealth, Okla
homa 10 cents, Illinois IS cents, Wis
consin $1.27, and Washington, GA
cents. Delaware's high expenditure
is due in part to its low wealth,
which is listed at less than 300 mil
lions. Illinois, spending nearly 10
millions annually for higher educa-
ton, escapes with only 6S cents per
$1,000 of wealth because of its great
property yaluation-nearly Is bill
lions. So far as Washington is CON
cerned, the best comparison seems to
be with Wisconsin, which is credited
with more than four billions of
wealth, against Washington's three
billions and little more
With the comparisons drawn down
TO this point, we perceive that Wis
consin, with one large, centralized
university-which includes the agri-
cultural college-with state wealth
comparable to that of Washington,
spends for higher education. twice as
much per $1,000 of wealth as does
Washington.
From this confusion of figures,
the lessons from each state conflict
ing with the lessons seen in another
state, one is puzzled in an endeayor
to work out general conclusions.
However, in the figures themselves
plus the educational history of the
states concerned, this conclusion
stands out in unmistakable terms;
namely, the best political machine
yet devised to take from a state leg
islature, huge sums of money, quite
regardless Of the assessible wealth
of the state, is a large, powerfully
centralized university which dom
mates the educational system of the
state, and through countless we'll
modified ramifications, is able to
take what it wishes from the state
treasury.
Is it not possible that those per-
sons who are seeking the reduction
of the State College and the enlarge
ment of the State University, with
the ultimate purpose of making the
University the all-dominant and all
iupluSivp hipber institution Of tho
state, are heading blindly in the
direction of greater and even ex-
travagant expenditure. instead of the
economy" of which they are talk
ing?
