PUTS 3 SCHOOLS UNDERIBOARD Barker Asks Central Control of State Educational Institutions. Boards of trustees of the State’s three higher educational Institutions, Indiana University, Purdue University and the Indiana State Normal School, would be abolished and the affairs of the three schools placed In the hands of a central board of control to be appointed by the Governor, by the provisions of a bill Introduced In the House Wednesday afternoon by Representative Murray 8. Barker, Boone County. While no announcement, has come from Governor McCray that he favored such a movement, yet the fact that the leader of the administration bills In the House, Mr. Barker, introduced the bill, gives ground to the belief that It is an administration measure. In speaking of his bill, Mr. Barker said he had no, Idea that it would pass this session of the Assembly, but added that It was a step In the right direction, and .that ultimately this thing would be accomplished. He said It would be the best thing for the three schools. The central board of control would consist of five trustees, to be appointed by the Governor, the men to be appointed not later than July 1,192 L The men first appointed would serve, one for one year, one for two years, one for three years, and two for four years, and all members thereafter would serve four-year terms. No graduates of either of the three schools would be eligible for appointment on the board of trustees, according to the bill. The new board would hold all the powers and duties of the boards as now constituted. They would receive salaries of SI,OOO a year, and all expenses. The board would he financed out of the funds now available for the three Institutions.
