Rhodes writes as follows: This article

varieties, individual taste should be
the guide. My choice would be Giant

EXPENSES OF THE STATE
REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE
APPOINTED no INYESTIGATE.

Suggest Repeal of Act Providing for Aid /,
High District and Evening Schools IL
Certain Respects, md Reduction of Pc,
Capita Appropriation to 81.
I. Attwater Barnes of New Haven
| and J. Carl Converse of Stafford
Springs, constituting a subcommittee
appointed by the legislative committee
to investigate state receipts and expen-
ditures, to-day made public their re-
port to the larger committee, giving
| their discoveries concerning the states
educational expenses and making i'm
portant recommendations.
The report is lengthy one and de-
tails exhaustively the expenses made
necessary by the schools of the state,
especial attention being paid to the
various normal schools OF the state
various normal schools.
The committee in stating the facts
made clear by their investigation make
the following recommendations
1.-The repeal of the act providing for
state aid to evening schools.
1.-The repeal Of the act providing for
state aid to district and High school
libraries for books and apparatus.
S-The amendment of the act provid-
ing for the appointment of agents to
enforce the child labor law by provid-
ing that, in addition to the special
agent now authorized by law there
shall not be more than two others APP
pointed, who shall be paid a. certain
specified sum per annum for their ser
vices instead of per diem as now.
4-That the propriety of cutting down
the appropriation for the schools of
the state from 1925 to 81 per capita.
and the closing of one of the Normal
schools, be very seriously considered
and that before final action is taken
on these two questions conference be
arranged with the state board of edu-
cation to consider the same.
II these recommendations are adont-
ed and carried out, the annual saving
to the state, as it Is estimated. will be
as follows:
BY adjustment of the evening schols
$4,000.
BY change of the law relating to
agents, $4,000.
BY repeal of law for appropriation to
district and High school libraries. SIS 900.
By reduction of state appropriation
to schools twenty-five cents, $4,000.
BY closing one normal school, $40 900.
