central normal school building. The

centr6i norman ScOOOi DuiiOihS. A
committee on appropriations recon-
mended amending the bill down TO
$50, 900 which woulds be respectable
starter toward the building. Inc
whole bill was killed in the house and
the central school idea will have two
wears in which to develop more
strength. The primary election over
which the best minds IN the state
have spent weeks of time was killed
in the house. The bill passed the
senate but the length of. the bill ana
the amount of red tape connected with
a primary election seemed more than
the house could stand. A bill to take
the regulation of apprentices out OF
the hands of labor unions Wasaklileo
in the house. Under the present
system the labor unions restrict the
number of apprentices which may De
employed in certain lines of business.
Somebody got the idea that this was
not az it should be and introduced
bill to remove the restrictions. Inc
labor unions opposed the bill and
! showed that there was no need OF lt, pe-
cause at present there We're not as
many apprentices employed as were
! permitted by their rules. The Inn
koeuers' license bill which was intro
| duced in the senate by Senator bona
way of Middlebury and which passed
the senate few weeks ago, has been
killed by the house.
The mock session which is always
the BEGINNING of the end Of legisia-
tive session has been held and was
declared to be a greater success than
ever before. There was good reason
why it should be better. The pages
never had such a Legislature before
, to give them living examples and abit
, illustrations of what a mock session
should be. Representative Daniels O.
