Bismarck's Commercial club is to De reorganized along new lines, not ag a reflection upon the past, but sim- ply a@ an adaptation to the exigen-| cies of the present. The retiring pres- (dent, Mr. C.

Those entrusted with the club's destinies are working out a plan and within a few days will have an an- nouncement to make.

After reading better than one-third of the recent report prepared by the federal bureau of education, one ma- jor defect is apparent. Too much space is devoted to a historical sketch of the various institutions. The edu- cational experts skate around the edges. Between the lines there is a studied effort to avoid unpleasant re- velations. Criticisms are glossed over and buried in a mass of data already well known and of record in our edu- cational annals. The report seems to be directed more for the information of strangers not conversant with conditions here. It was the intent of the board of re- gents act, to direct, the searchlight of publicity upon thé shortcomings of the various institutions rather than to develop and expand purely historical Probably the law creating the board was unfortunate in that the duty of assisting in the survey was assigned to the educational commissioner. It would have been better had a survey been provided by men wholly disin- terested and unhampered by any con- siderations, even. affiliation with the educational system of the state in the remotest degree. The report merely proves how hard it is to get an educational survey. tical matter from old reports, not Report on Educational Institutions Devotes Much Space to Ancient History enough to a searching analysis into costs of operation, and standards maintained here in comparison with institutions of accepted rating in oth- er states. i Some chapters of this report consist of a mere copy of the courses from the college bulletins and the lifting Dodily of statutes affecting the var- fous institutions. There has been a scrupulous attempt made to put in as little that would offend or disturb the perennial placidity of the educational clique. The report must come as a distinct disappointment to anyone who desires to find there a clear diagnosis of our educational ills and a prescription for the remedy. ‘The report has every earmark of be- ing dominated by the educational ring which for years has declared when in- vestigations were imminent “So far shalt thou go and no farther.” That same influence is now seeking in the present budget to secure im- mense appropriations from the state treasury without being able to show to the taxpayers an adequate returp for large sums already expended. It was hoped that this report would guide budget making, but it is practi- cally silent on costs except to recom: mend more members of the faculty and increased salaries. The writer has waded through many pages of closely printed matter, as dry and unenlightening as a: congressional record. It is fervently hoped that something tangible can be bagged be- fore the concluding article is written. WET SESSION WN UPPER ROU ND BILLS PASS Except for Probable Report of Committee on State Affairs Little Is Doing GOVERNOR FRAZIER HAS SIGNED THREE NEW LAWS A quiet session was anticipated in the senate this afternoon. ‘No senate bills were on the calendar for third reading; few new bills were introduc- ed, and except for some possible ex- ‘citement.in an anticipated report from the committee on state affairs on Gov. ernor Frazier's second nomination of five new members of the board of re- gents, there was very little doing. The senate is conserving its ener- gies for the final battle on house bill No. 44, the new constitution, which is expected to come over from the house tomorrow, The bill will go either to the committee on state affairs, headed by Senator Hyland, or to the commit- tee on judiciary, of which Senator Mc- Bride is chairman, and probably will be considerably amended before being reported out. ‘ Secretary of the Senate Prater had at his desk this morning a stack of Non-Partisan Leader petitions ad- dressed to various members of the senate and directed to the secretary, as per printed instructions. It was expected that these would be read. The two longest petitions were from the districts of Senator Wilford and | Senator Paulson. Many of the peti- tions have less than a half-dozen names. =~ i Some house bills came up for their first and second reading, and a num- ber of senate bills were reported out of committee. Senate Bills Signed. The first three acts signed by Gov- ernor Frazier are senate bills Nos, 12 and 13, the suffrage measures, and No, 15, by Beck, relating to the malicious burning or destruction. of farm prop: erty. The fact that the governor's signature had been attached to these three measures, and to house bill No. 19, hy Smith of Kidder, repealing the. fee charged by auditors for filing town- ship .officers’ bonds, was reported to the senate this afternoon.
