ONE BIG ONE OR -LITTLE ONES
WE ARE led to print and comment upon an ecl itoi·ial written by a Wa usa u reader for the i\Iilwaukee Journal last Sunday:
To The Journal. "'Ve have been hearing a great cleal about the enormous ~alaries which the professors at the University of ,viscon~in receive. How many people know how we compa re with other state unh·ersities in the mafter of alaries? Last fall , when we att empted to attract a profe or from Ohio State to the deanship of our law scliool. we were unable to do so becau. e a professor there receives more than the clean of our school. x x x x -
It seems .- trange to me that we hea r so mu~h about the cost of the uni,·ersity and so little about that of running county normals and state teachers col leges, some of wh i'ch have not the enrollment of a good sized high ·school. We simply cannot afford to keep all ~hese institutions going and sti ll remain outstanding in the educational field. We are slipping constantly. We ought to be able tQ afford one school of note and in tead we go in for mass production of mediocrities from mediocr e mstitutions.
Of course it wou1cl be ideal to haYe some form of higher education supplied in every town in the state but we cannot a:fforcl it. We are too spread out now, so why not consolidate our schools . .11nd have them better instead of letting these men whose presence alone is an inspiration and whose names lend prestige to our schools go from us, simply because of poor business managemenU" .Wausau, Wis. ·
T HE Wausau contributor believes that one large university is more essential and valuable to the commonwealth than a num
ber of small colleges distributed about to provide a cheap education :mcl equality of opportunity for our young people. 'fhis proposal would virtually place the ·opportunity for an education solely in the hands of a .few rich, and would rleprive thousands from ever attending any school above a high school. The cost of attending a t~iversity is double and even triple compared to the cost of attending a Teachers College. 1 aturally but a few would f ind means to enroll in the University and the others would h,ave to ·bury their talents for
. ,vant of development and application. Such a plan might keep a Lincoln splitting rails. unable to make the credentials that our present age demands in the form of credits and a diploma. Consider the result of keeping back several t hou and young individuals because c;f economic rea ons. They would inevitably become an unsatisfied· lot, releasir,g their sentiments and ambitions in some secondary group such as communi m.
BUT the Wausau writer fa ils to see that Teachers Colleges serve the state, and not only tl1e cities, in which they are located, and
Go, ~~RNOR La Foll ; tt.e strcnghthens Mr. Domhu!'s. con~enti_on thnt 'fea,•hers Colleges nre the most potent and mJluenhal m
~titution · in the sta te in his stnt ment to prospective teachers, rel~n~cd la t week. 'l'he ' GoYemor states that " some portion of dctermmmg the outlook and the courage of the next generation. , belongs to the students wl:o arc plannin g to se r\'e the tate of Wisconsin as teachers in tl1e ;;chools of the state.
T HE proposal in the i\lilll'ankee J ollrnal _is far from n cl emocr~ti1· one and ll'Ould onh- make the educative . ystem more nn-fan·
and un-clemocrntic than· it rea lly it; at the present time. Our one l'niversity receinis three times as much money each y_enr a the nine
tate olleges are granted, and it costs the stut c twice as much to c11rc for a Univer ity student a it does to carry n Teacher: College ,-tuclent. Thi l11ttc1: proportion is r •ached by cli ,·iding the University and Normal Fund Income disbursements by their re.;pect i\'e enrollments. The niversity of Wisconsin clocs·not serve the whol e stat e. Finoures indicate that a great port.ion of the ·tnclent body is drawn :irom i\ladison, Dan e Connty. and a small area surrounding t he Capital. 'ro f urther concentrate our education in Madison would make t hi s ituat ion more un-ba lanced . than ever. Oll\·ionsly the ,vausau conh'ibntor is imbued with that great American ,lesirc ·to produce thing in a " Bigger and Better" fashion.
"ERRONEOUS IMPRESSIONS''
PRIN !PAL J o eph F . Kraus of the St; Yens Point Hi"'h School informs us that our ed itorial of April 28 was bpsed on "error-
11eous impress ions". The article which 11lr. Kraus correct6 i: the one relating to a speech made by II i\Iarquette l niversi ty reprcsentati\'e to the loc11l high school Seniors. He tates that no derogatory remarks were made towards the local Teachers College durin" the talk. ;\Ir. Kraus is II prominent alumnus of the Stevens Point Teacher Colle"'e. He' was graduated as a n1ral back in 1916 and returned afte1' servin" with the Marine Corps during the World War. Before his "raduation in· 1921 he handled the College Counte1· 11ncl was extremely active in extra curricular activities as president of the Rurals, Forum, Sophomore class and the 11len 's Club.
FROi\l THE EAU CLAIRE SPECTA'rOR Practically a complete waste of time and space for everybody
concerned - that is what we call characteristic of the editorials appearing regularly in thi column.
We have consistently attempted to make direct appeals to the · student body and to incite it ·to activity through this column, but what a complete flop it has proved! Instead of arresting the student 's attention and a1·ousing interest and discussion as our editorials l1a,,e attempted to only ONE student comment has ever r eached the editoria l writers from all of our past twelve issues, which are read by at least 400 students each time; ancl this ONE student comment wa. on a rather outspoken editorial.
True we have had members of the faculty frequently comment on our eclit(\rials, but the ed itorials are directed towards the student and meant for the students.
What is the trouble? Merelv this: the editorial column isn't a popular corner in the paper. •
It has been traditional to write editorials, so we probably will continue to do so despite the futility of it all. Hence, we shall continue to inspire and to diffuse knowledge to a deaf audience.
