Cpeci7l Order-TIe discussion OF II. 1G5
! Che school lill) was resumed. Pending the
| vote on the dismissal Of the bill, MI Pier Of
! Jemaica spoke IN favor Of she bill, He said
/ the town system had failed TO help the
/ schools in n8uN OF the towns; hoped the
! bill would uotte dismissed.
Nj. Bartlett of Flot nield spoke against
! The bill; results o. new system have been
| htntf fetal in lis town.
MI. Weston Of New fame advocated 3 per
| fecttd system if possible; If not perfected,
lien rs much Cf il as We have now. Give
the town system n fair Trial and isfoction
will cone. Present hin is woIthess-lt
gives chaos to 90 back to. The district
system would put our schools back and
/ bring disaster.
Mr. Orvis OF Manchester opposed the bill.
! IL Manchester we la t. better schools with
out any incre ase in expense. The loi ger
the town syst III is in use the better II is APP
! preciated. Where il has heen honestly tried
IL is found beneficial.
Mr. Delano of Elmore also opposed the
MEASURE as a step backward. 1t is better to
give the existing system q fair trial-snd no
| s, sem can get along with continual charge.
There is no trouble With the law-it is with
the men no have the carrying out of its
provisions.
| Mr.. Rridgman of HaTdwick y aid there had
been change in the current OF sentiment
in regard 10 school law. The town syst III
was nlet with disfsvor at the outset hut il
has grown in favor. 1t is a sy stem that ere
ates an upward tendency. l was charged
when | came here to lei the school law
alune-tbat is the sentiment Of my constitu-
enis. Having the cause Of education al
heart. | think il would be an error TO favor
the passage of the Hill.
Nj Stone OF Wallngfold thought he mo
tion 10 dismiss should not prevail. The bill
should he amended into proper shape and
then cone MP for passage, as its plinciI lt
vas meritorious.
Mi. Preston OF Fairhavcn also favored
amending the measure, periectipg II as neal
a. possible, and considering II v hen SO per
iec1ed. The bill requires vote of two
ibiIds-aUd is very fair in lis provisions
When emended SO as 10 provide for distTi
button OF property he should favor it's pass
age.
Mr. Bradley of Warren thought where the
town system has tailed it as been because
; school directors were elected Nho were no
in synpsihy with The law. His constitu
, looking 10 change III the present school law
Mi. ballard called for yeas and nays
which resulte d in yeas 1o3 nays l25, so thu
