ORDER or BUSINESS.
Mr.. WEIR: l have examined toe files and
find there are thirteen House bills on the
third reading ard nine on the second read
ing and twelve on the first reading, while of
Senate bills there are forty-three. While
there has been much said atont one house
considering the bills passed by the other, i
think We shoald transact AS much business
ne possible. and l move to take up House
bills on The third reading. This action
would satisfy the House that the Senate is
ready to Dc its part to the utmost.
Mr.. YOUCHE: The regular order calls
fer House bills on the first reading. We
Rave been following the regular order and
have been making excellent progress, aud 1
an in favor of proceeding with the regular
ORDER of business.
Mr.. WILLARD: We have reached the or
der OF business which enables every measure
from the House to be considered IN regular
order. What is the use of commencing at
the bottom instead Of the top? The only
true method We can pulsue is to follow the
order which is proven by past experience to
be the best
Mr.. HILLFGASS: 1 favor the motion.
Mr.. SMITH, OF jay: / hope this motion
will not prevail. Under the regular order
all bills from the House Will have a fair
show. The best way for deliberative bodies
10 pursue is to follow the order OF business
as it is laid down in the rules.
Mr.. MCINTOSH demanded the previous
question.
The Senate seconded the demand, and
under its operations the motion to change
the regular order was rejected by yeas s,
Rays 90.
All House bills on the files were read the
first time, and severally reported to appro.
pirate committees.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of House bills on the second read
ing-in pursuing the regular order.
PHYSIOLOGY IN THE PUBLIc SCHOOLS.
Mr.. FOULKE moved to amend the bill 81.
r. 16l 10 require physiology and hygiene to
be taught In the public schools. by striking
out from the enactiDg clause and inserting
IL lieu the following:
Section 1. The proper local school authorities
shall, on and after September /, 1886. require all
pupils In all tchools supported by public money,
or under State control to study, as a regular
special references to affects Of alcoholic drinks,
stimulants and narcotics upon the human system.
Mr.. SMITH. of Jay, objected to a provis-
ion in the amendment which practically
prevents parents from saying what studies
their children shall pursue.
Mr., THOMPSON offered q substitute tina
a system OF hygiene shall be taught and tn
text books selected by the State Board o
Ecucstion, which was ruled out of order,
Mr.. JOHNSON, of Tippecanoe: The decis.
ion of the Senate on this matter has already
been made--.hAt this bill shalt be rejected.
No set of men can define the true effects of
alcoholic stimulants on the human system in
general, because they differ according to the
conditions Of the system, constitution, tenn.
eerament. habit. sex and other conditions.
The effect of a measure like this will be
detrimental large number OF children
will be taken out of the schools because
such instruction will be given IN a fanatical
spirit.
