MORNING SESSION IN
 HOUSE YESTERDAY

Montgomery, March 3.-(Special)-
 The Rev. MT. Preston opened the morn- ing session with prayer and S4 mem-
 bers answered to their names on roll call On the call of committees a num- Der of bills were reported back to the house, among them being the bill by
 MT. Stevens to establish a court of ap peals. q After the introduction of bills the house took up the consideration of a substitute to a bill by MT Roberson providing for the further regulation and control of the county superin- tendents of the boards of education The 1 bill was introduced as a companion
 measure to the bill of MT. Hollis of Choctaw, which passed the house on yesterday.
 The substitute was presented by the committee on education, and had the approval of the state department of education. The provisions of the sub stitute were explained by Mir. Hollis of
 Choctaw and he strongly urged its
 passage. Endorsement also came rom MT. Rylance of Tallapoosa, who spoke earnestly for the bill.
 | Mir. Richeson of Franklin county op-
 posed the bill, declaring that the bill provided for a greater expenditure out
 of the school funds of the state than
 could well be afforded, and that there was no necessity to increase the salary of the members of the county boards
 of education from $2 to $3 per day He referred to the provision of the bill which allowed the members of thu boards of education to receive per diem expenses, and the further provision which allowed the state to transport children to some of the schools. | This view was also taken by MT Huddleston of Fillmore, who thought tho bill conferred too much power on the county boards of education. He read a letter from a superintendent of edu- cation of one of the counties in the
 state in which the writer declaimed against the passage of the Dill. lie was followed by MT Richeson, who
 again spoke against the bill. The debate on the bill continued till 11:3O o'clock when the further con sideration of the bill was deferred until
 after thes debate on the regulation bill
