Mr.. Robinson called up resolution In regard
TO an acting providing for system OF public
instruction. (RcsOution alleges that some pro-
visions contained IN the printed act were never
enacted by the General Assembly, provide. for
the appointment of - (aitcrwards filled with
the number lvc-twO on the part Of the Senate
aud three on the part OF the House, TO examine
and report as to the alleged interpretations, and
further that said committee recommend such
Legislation as would effect the purpose intended
by members In the passage OF said public school
act.
Mr. Moore OF Chowan, said that according to
hls recollection of the action Ol the House, the
act was not printed correctly. When the hill
was up for consideration during the last session,
he cndcayOrcd 10 persuade the House the bill ac.
COrding to the present act, but without success.
Admit the fact, however, that the act was gar.
blJd, vet the enrolled act on file in the Office Ol
the SccrCtay OF state was the law, and as such
had to be respected and OOcycd by the Board Of
Education. According to the enrolled act, 1t
was the duty OF that Board to prescribe course
OF studies to be pursurd, and text books to be
used In the public schools. The Board then,
had no other course 10 pursue, but 10 purchase
| the necessary text books. He thought,
| therefore, that 1t was improper to pass
! the resolution In It's present shape, as its
| passage might have the effect to rcpudatc the
| contracts made By tho Board In the purchase OF
text books He moved 10 strike out that part
of the resolution to report the necessary lcgisu.
lion to secure the intentions OF the Legislature
in passing the act, and insert the words providing
| that the committee be required to report such
| legislation Ms would prevent the repetition oi
like frauds, and also to bins the UiIuudyr II any,
