 1t Is the sense of this Institute that the educational interest of our great i State demand changes in our present school law, therefore be it further. RESOLVED (4); That the State egIsla- ture be asked to so change and amend our present school law that we may have school commissioner for each county who shall be elected by the people as other county officers and be paid stated salary out of the common school fund. That 1t shall not only be the duty of such commissioner to do all the duties now performed by the Coun- ty Examiner, but in aaaii..ieesi, shall have direct supervision of the schools of the county and shall visit them. AL so that the power now vested in the county Judge In regard to settlement with the county Treasurer be transfer ed to the county commissioner.
 RESOLVED (5): That we view with alarm the great variety of text books being adopted in the various school dis trists of this county, and feel that it is not only working a great hardship upon pupil and teacher, but great sx- pense upon the patrons as we'll.
