! School Laws.
The House would not concur in the Sen
ste's proposed amendments to II. 49, and
Messrs. Arnold, Barber OF Arlington and
! Dewey OF Middebury were appointed as q
! conference committee on the part of the
House. Tho Senate thought the public
! school money should be divided among the
towns according to their population. The
! House thought tho money should bo divided
| in some way so that the small
towns would get more than they
pay. The bill said one-third equally
among the towns irrespective of size, the ra-
mander en- the basis of the number Of
weeks of school, or on the basis of school at
tendance. The senate wished TO keep the
county examiners and the House would
supplant them with tho town superin ten
teudcnts. No agreement could lie reached
in two hours conference, and the House
suggested that the committee try to save
the balance Of the bill, emitting the dis
puted sections. This was done in another
two hours conference, and the report was
adopted. The school money and county ex-
aminer will therefore remain as under the
law OF 1890
