A Nonpareil critique questions a state board education push for university coordination. It cites a Kansas Times cost table showing per student outlays, argues Iowa underfunds higher education, and defends the state's three universities while warning against duplications and inefficiency.
The speaker argues that current efficiency could nearly double expenditure per student without spending more than Wisconsin. He questions tampering with institutions and praises the duplication argument as a theoretical bank. He notes universities are judged by instructors per student and contends great universities distribute classes to maximize individual attention. He suggests that if coordination means doubling up classes, the present duplication system may be more efficient than coordination.

Voltaire, a thin Frenchman with a vast brain, thrived in the early 1700s by living with little religion or morals. Born Francois Arourt near Paris in 1644, he spent years in the Bastille for satirical verse about Louis XIV, then fled to England, and later returned to become France’s idol. He partnered with Frederick the Great in 1760, earning $4,000 yearly, while the king flung bric-a-brac and threats of execution, until Voltaire settled with a learned companion and wrote copiously until his death at 84. His wit, charm, and outspoken atheism made belief noble in his circles, though many followers lost their reputations.
The speaker argues that the people and democracy are harmed by a despotism that desecrates women’s rights and halts their movement, urging immediate action. Madero’s alleged crime was leniency, while Huerta benefits from the grim example, implying a profit-driven motive.
