Report of the Subcommittee to the
Joint CommIttee-Mush Opposition
Especial to The Messenger }

Especial to The Messenger)
Raleigh, N. c., January 30-The sub
committee on the Aycock school text
book bill reported to the Joint commit
tee on education this afternoon it's
amended bill. The bill. as agreed upon,
is substantially the original bill, re-
tanning the features of committees of
practical teachers to cooperate with
the state board Of education in the se>
lection of books to be used.
Only two sections were adopted-the
first declaring for state adoption, the
second providing for a uniform sys-
tenn.
When section was reached Chair
man Connor stated his opposition to a
subcommittee of teachers. and Sem
ator Aycock at once moved an adjourn
ment, saying ne wanted an opportuni-
ty to enlighten Mr.. Connor On the ne
cessity for this provision.
The committee did not get to a vote
until nightfall owing to motions and
speeches for postponement of action.
Messrs. Henderson. Connor, Smith,
Shannonhouse. McAllister. Norris and
Alexander seemed to oppose all fea-
lures of the bill except the state adop-
ton, and Aycock, Whitaker, Brown
and Lindsay favoring the bill and early
action i :.
The strong opposition to the bill with
in the committee was surprise to Ay-
cock and others.
No definite time was set for the next
meeting.
A great number of book lobbyists are
present, and part of them do not con-
ceal their elatiOn at the result of to-
days work of the committee.

never was in better health, and never

Almanac for 1909 AMI, with his staff of
able helpers, has brought his journal,

having saved the people from loss and
suffering. Millions of bushels of wheat
were harvested through his advice to
plant crops that would mature early.
The American people will certainly
stand by Prof. Hicks, when it costs
