On motion of Mr.. DEARBoN.
Ordered That the Committee on Educauoh
be instructed TO inquire into the expediency OF
authorizing the assessors and experimenting
school committees. or Supervisors OF towns,
cities and plantations TO unite ADJOINING
school districts, or parts OF Districts ana 10
appropriate not more than - per cent Oh
district. to be expended in the conveyance OF
children to and from the schools in said union
districts, at the discretion of the aforesaid
board.
In presenting this order, Mr.. DEARBoN SAID
i, was a well known fact that the number of
school children in the State had constantly
decreased In 1860 the whole number OF
scholars was PA 920: in 1870, 22S.l6I; IN
1879. PIG 3S5 showing decrease Ill nine
teen wears of 2S, 425, or more than il per
cent Twelve hundred or more than one
quarter of the whole number of schools in the
State are running with an average OF twelve
scholars or less-man: of them less. over
one hundred school districts are without sum-
mer schools In 1869 law of this kind was
enacted in Massachusetts,, and il works well
there.
Resolve for the appointment of commits
sion to revise the militia laws of the State,
come up its passage to be engrossed
Mr. STRICKLAND said the commission ould
involve considerable unnecessary expense.
The Adjutant General is not pressed in his
duties, and has a whole year to examine the
militia statutes of this and other States. and
if revision is to be made he is the proper
person to make it. The first codifcation of
the militia law of Maine was made by the
Adiutant General then in Office. He could
perform the work without any expense to the
State, and report to the next legislature.
Dir. BRADFORD understood that the work
was to be performed by militia officers with
out any expense to the State. Ii Is evident
that revision OF the laws Is necessary. but he
had no objection TO the resolve lying upon the
table for the present.
On motion of Mr.. STRICKLAND, the resolve
was tabled.
Bill authorizing Chas. W Howard to navl-
gate and dredge Rangelv lake. for term of five
years. coming up on its passage to be en-
