all she could 10 enhance the best IN
terests Of her children.
In the afternoon, the discussion OF
the school bill was resumed.
Mr.. Pier of Jamaica spoke IN favor
of the bill. lie said the town system
had failed TO help the schools N mtnA
Of the towns; hoped the bill would
not be dismissed.
Mr.. Bartlett Of Bloomfield spoke
against the bill; results of new system
have been beneficial in his town.
Mr.. Weston Of Newfane advocated
perfected system if possible; II moi
perfected. then as much of IL as we
have now. Give the town system a
fair trial and satisfaction will come.
Present bill is worthless-it gives chaos
to 20 back to. The district system
would put our schools back and bring
disaster.
Mr.. Oryis Of Manchester opposed
the bill In Manchester, we have bet
ter schools without any increase OF
expense. The longer the town sys-
tenn is in Use the better il Is apprecl-
ated. Where it has been honestly
tried it is found beneficial.
Mr.. Delano of Gilmore also opposed
the measure as step backward. IL
is better to give the existing system a
fair trial-and no system can get
along with continual change There
is no trouble with the law-it i with
the men who have the carrying out OF
It's provisions.
Mr. Bridgeman Of Hardwick said
there had been a change in the cur
rent Of sentiment IN regard TO school
law. The town system was met with
disiavoi ut the outset but has grown
in favor. 1t is a system that creates |
an upward tendency. J was charged |
when | came here TO let the school
law alone that is the sentiment OF
my constituents. Having the cause |
Of education at heart, think il would |
be an error to favor the passage OF
the bill.
Mr.. Stone OF Wallingford thought
the motion to dismiss should not pre- !
vail The bin should be amended in
proper shape and then come up for
passage, as its principle VAS merito-
rious.
Mr.. Preston Of Fair Haven also
favored amending the measure, per-
fectingit as near as possible and con-
sidering it when so perfected. The
bill requires vote of two-thirds and
is very fair in its provisions. When
so as to provide for distri-
button OF property be should favor
lis passage.
Mr.. Bradley Of Warren thought
where the town system has failed il
has been because school directors were
elected who were not in sympathy
with the law. His constituents au-
him TO oppose any action
looking 70 change in the present school
law.
Mr.. Ballard called for yeas and
nays, which resulted in yeas, 1903;
nays, l25; 50 the motion to dismiss
was lost.
Mr.. Ladd moved a reconsideration
Of vote. by which third reading was
that the bill might be amend
ed. On this question, Mr.. Goodel
demanded yeas and nays, resulting
