ator Hiliery said that while members
might vote against an amendment or
for one, they might wish to do differ
emily when the bill was considered as
a whole. He suggested tnau all the
amendments be submitted to the Sem

homes Of the members at once. Then
when they came down next Tuesday
the work Of consideration of this i'm
portant measure might be done in
a manner that would be intelligent
He said that no man could sit at his
desk and vote inteliigently on amend
ments when they were offered. where
as after having them before them for
time and considering every. one Of
them and then the bill as whole
when the amendments were ia they
could tell how to vote. The Perkins
measure was taken as a basis Sena-
tor Colby objected to delay but adj
mitted that he intended to submit
substitute bill that would change the
character Of the legislation A num-
Der Of amendments and substitute
bills were presented and the matter
went over until Tuesday morning.

that the institutes are expensive. and
that the school children should reap

gain therefrom.
