He CLAIMS DISC TERMINATION
Assemb.yman Hull Declares Com
mon Schools are Being Neg
iected for University,

Madison - Assemblyman Merlin
Hull, of Black River Falls, champion
of the common schools in the legis-
lature, is disappointed because the
committee on education has voted to
report for indefinite postponement
his bill providing for training de-
partment for teachers in connection
with one high school of each county
not having a county training school.
His particular pet bill providing
for a state board of education to have
full charge of the educational sys-
tenn of the state, including the uni
yersity, failed to make an impression
on the committee on education, and
Mr.. Hull is reconciled to the fact that
this bill, which meets with opposition
from university quarters, will be
killed
'The common schools are coming
in for little consideration said Mr.
Hull. 1.-THE university is getting
about everything it wants, and the
rural communities are getting prac-
ticauy nothing"
