HOW WILL THE PROBLEM BE DEALT WITH.
Now that the legislature has come and gone, the University and the Agricultural College stand in the same relation to each other that existed before the statesmen's two junketing trips, and everything is as it was before, except that the people at the two institutions are some three or four thousand dollars lighter in pocket. Perhaps it was money well spent. Seeing the state's two biggest schools was surely of some educational value to the law makers, although all they had a chance to see was the material equipment which, though it is an impressive enough sight, gives little idea of what the schools really are and what they do. It is perhaps too much to expect that what the legislators have seen will enable them to deal with the problem of higher education in the state as it needs to be dealt with. It is too much to expect that the courage, foresight, and skill necessary to mold the entire educational scheme of the state into one vast university system can be found in any body of men who have not become expert through years of study of educational problems. Both the University and the Agricultural College confidently expect the present legislature to grant substantially all in the way of appropriations that has been asked. But the greater problem will remain untouched, and the two schools will continue in more or less wasteful competition with each other instead of engaging in close and harmonious cooperation for the best service of the commonwealth This state of affairs cannot but be regretted by every friend o education and of Kansas, when he reflects how easily our educational system could be made like that of Wisconsin, which through actual practice has been found to solve the problem on the maximum of service to the state for the minimum of cost.
The student body of the University lined up along the drive to receive the guests yesterday morning made an inspiring spectacle, and one which rather awed even some members of the faculty, who considered themselves familiar with the appearance of the student body and did not suppose they would make such a magnificent showing on parade. It is to be hoped that an equally favorable impression was made on the visitors, for it is the cheering thousands who greeted them yesterday that compose the University, and not the structures of brick and stone that crown Mount Oread. That they are dealing not with a vague abstraction but with the very flesh and blood of the state when they take up the problems of the University must have been impressed upon the minds of the legislators as they passed between the welcoming lines and later as they saw the gymnasium filled to overflowing with students at the Lincoln memorial services.
