Free text-books:-H 1896, providing
free textbooks and county boards TO

amending the bill as recommended by
committee, Mr.. Lawrence of Rutland
opposed county boards and favored
town boards to select books best suited
to the needs of the town.
Mr.. Rustedt of Richford thought
better results would come from county
boards made up, as the bill provides,
of the county examiner and superin-
tendents; different books for every
town would make conflict of methods
and delay progress.

the committee, and wanted the ineor-
porated districts fully represented on
the county board.
Mr.. Rustedt explained that this was
expected from the provisions of the
bill.

proposed law could be interpreted as
providing for representation of incor-
porated districts on the board.
