higher education have been receiving
large appropriations, apparently out
of proportion with the ordinary public
schools of the territory, as the total
number of students of college grade
is said not to exceed 500; and,

large part of the expense of these In.
stitutions is caused by teaching the
same branches in each institution
thus duplicating the instruction,
whereas, each was intended to do a
particular work and not interfere
with the proper work of the others;
and, also, by having preparatory de-
partments much below college grade,

institutions, the committee on educa-
tion is instructed to inquire into the
matter aforesaid and any others bear.
ing on the expenses of said institll'

Council together with such recommen.
dations on the subject as that com
mittee may think proper.
