An act relating to public instruction
came up as special order MIR. Read OF
! Rocking am offered an amendment to sec
tion two, the substance OF which was 10
eliminate the equalZng section from the
original bin, and to leave the school dis
| trict property as it is, but to be under the
supervision of the selectmen. Mr.. arnold
OF Bethel supported the amendment, which
prevailed. Mr.. Newton of johnson moved
TO amend by having nine school directors
instead of six. The motion was lost. Mr.
Weston moved to strike out $50 per day, -
a. the compensation of school directors, and
insert "such sum the town shall vote -
This was agreed to. Mr.. Howiand was not
in favor Of tho measure as it was; it would
not work well so far as Barre was con
cerned. Mr.. Read replied that any law
might work hardship on few, but the good
of the larger number was the main feature.
MIR Arnold followed in the same strain.
Mr. Croft of Enosburgh opposed the bill.
Nr Boynton favored the bill. IL the bill
ssddled the debts OF school districts upon
towns, it also gave to towns the school
property. 1t was in the interest of
education, and equal taxation that
tho bill should pass. He said in re-
ply to statement made by Mr.
Croft, that his constituents opposed the bill
that be believed a majority Of the mem bers
of the House were of the opinion to-day that
majorities m0B go wrong. This alluson by
q democrat to the result OF the election
brought down the House. Mr.. Enrisht OF
Windsor spoke in favor OF the bull. He
stated that the town system had worked
well in New Hampshire, Mr. Booth OF
Mortified favored the bill, though he
thought tae majority OF his constituents
were opposed to 1t; but he thought their ex-
perience inferior TO his own. Mr.. Mead OF
Randolph favored the bill, stating that his
town had prospered under the town system
for 10 years Mr.. Barber Of Arlington also
favored ths bill. Mr.. Rowland stated that
the majority who favor the bill are lawyers
