er.
Opposed by Mr.. Deane of Cavendish, and
Mr.. Ferrin, who thought it would destroy the
force of the section.
Mr.. Whitney was in favor of the bill, but he
wished to proceed with caution he thought
the amendment necessary
Mr. Streeter opposed it; he thought the
power of the Superintendent should be left as
prescribed in this section.
Mr.. Needham, for the committee on educa-
ton, moved to commit for the purpose of max
ing several slight amendments He said that
having considered the bill more carefully, the
committee thought these amendments desirable
to perfect the bill.
Mr. Linsey of Rutland moved to amend by
striking out the 18th and 18th sections, ire
quiring the Board of Education to prepare an
abstract of the school laws and designate school
books.)
Mr.. Slayton opposed this amendment
Moreover, want Of uniformity in books was
the cause of much complaint.
/ Mr. Ferrin explained the purpose of these
sections. He had thought that if there was
any objection to them, it would be because they
did not confer authority enough. They were
intended to prevent (what had often been done)
Superintendent from becoming ageats for pub
listing houses, and thus creating great DIVERSE
ty in the use Of books, and frequent changes at
great expense.
Mr. Woodbridge concurred with Mr.. Ferrin
This bill was not the Inauguration of new
system, as some suppose, but it merely offered
means to put the laws we already have in effec-
tual operation. He was decidedly IN favor of
retaining both sections.
Mr.. Deane of Cavendish said gentlemen need

not lay Il straw in the way Of its passage. But
he could not see the force or propriety of the
abstract of laws required in the 18th section
He favored the 18th, as to school books.

"a Mr.. Woodbridge called for division of the

le and II. He thought the erasure of the 18th
section would put money in the hands of the
n, lawyers, and he did not know but duty to the
IN craft would require him to go for amendment
K MIR. Randall hoped the House would not
agree to the amendment. The arguments of
gentlemen against this section show that they
have given it very little examination. He then

e, ties for this section.
